It means like your PC is not able to read DVDs and SVCDs. It also happened to my old PC running Win 2K and having onle a CD-ROM unit; when I changed it with another one win Win XP having a DVD-ROM unit (with InterVideo DVD installed) all error regarding reading SVCD and DVDs disappeared.
I don't know the proper software you could install; try checking Microsoft's site.
But this is only a software problem; it doesn't convern your hardware. Maybe, if you cannot obtain it in Microsoft's site, you can get somewhere alse some freeware MPEG-2 decoder.
