When I had WinME installed I was able to watch DVD movies on my system. I
remember downloading a program/plug-in for free that allowed me to do so.
Now that I've upgraded (clean install) to XP Home, I am having the same
problem of no decoder being found.

Where can I find a free DVD Decoder for my new XP OS?

1. Open XP's "Help and Support"
2. Type DVD in the search box, hit enter.
3. Click on "DVD Troubleshooter".
4. You probably need a new DVD decoder.
