Vista Ultimate cannot play the DVD because of the DRM

I have Windows Vista Ultimate installed on a workstation Dell T5400 with Nvidia Quadro FX 1700 graphics card, old monitors and one audio interface Focusrite Saffire. I am watching a DVD on this computer, but have been unable to do. Whenever I try to read the DVD, I get the following message:

"Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

I installed the latest Dell drivers for this video card. I understand that Vista ultimate is supposed to read the DVD. I also tried the free 'vlc' program to read the DVD and it is unable to do the same. It is frustrating, as I'm not trying to make digital copies of what that is is not clear to me why digital copy protection would be involved.

Any suggestions?

Artuero, software decoding DVD comes 3rd party and is not available from Microsoft - it means reinstall this software, you must locate and either perform a repair or reinstall from the CD.  I find it interesting that you are unable to read a DVD in the player VLC Media as is the only free software that I am aware of that contains a built in DVD decoder.  You may want to try to go to file and then open in VLC and opening an of the. VOB files containined in the folder VIDEO_TS to DVD as a test.

Please, perform the following steps:
-In Windows Media Player, press the ALT key and select Help on Windows Media Player
-Click on the Support information link, paste the content in this thread so that we can take look at what codecs/decoders is currently installed.

-Thank you
