Your question has been marked as answered, only you did not mark it as such.
I feel obligated to ask if and how you solved your issue?
The marked answer *may not* have been the one you utilized and for the benefit of those who might ask the same question in the future it is better the original poster mark their own answers, in my opinion.

Get some third party application that allows you to play DVDs like PowerDVD, etc.

"To play DVDs using the Player, you must have a DVD drive and a software or hardware DVD decoder installed on your computer. By default, Windows does not include a DVD decoder. For more information about DVD decoders, see Plug-ins for Windows Media Player."

Truthfully - likely your best bet is to install and use VLC. It will play DVDs on your Windows XP computer as opposed to trying to get Windows Media Player to do it on XP.
