Mpeg2 SVCD disc problems

Hi there,
I am running XP 2000 with version 9 MediaPlayer - I also have PowerDVD.
My disc drive works fine except that i cannot play two SVCD Mpeg2 format
discs. The drive picks up and tries to play but all it does is incrementally
speed up and then after a while I get the 'not responding' message and have
to ctrl-alt-delete and shut it down. There are no error messages. I can play
all my other types of discs and the two problem discs can be read as i can
see the folders and file types in the folders just not play them. A colleague
has just tried on his machine to run these discs and had no problems so the
discs are not faulty.
Any ideas what might be the problem - i know this isn't much to go on but
hopefully somebody out there might be able to put me on the right track -
maybe I am missing a certain codec or something?
many thanks for any help.

Well, SVCD is MPEG-2, DVD's are MPEG-2.  So you have the MPEG-2 decoder if
you have PowerDVD.  You might reinstall PowerDVD and even try to play it in
PowerDVD.
