DVD decoder problem

[paladin783]

Hello everyone, when I was building a computer i bought a DVD player from Pricewatch.com.

Its a COMPAQ DVD-ROM DV-5700B. However, whenever I try to run DVDs I keep getting the message "Cannot find DVD decoder" or somthing to that sort. I have tried many DVD softwares. Can anyone please help me with this problem? (and no i dont have the software that came with it and lost the companies phone number whom which i bought it so i need another plan)

thanks
