From the sounds of it, you answered your own question in part.
It appears the problem is that of a graphical driver nature - missing Direct Show and WDM files.

Im presuming that your using a Software DVD player ? Or do you have a decoder card installed ?

I cant directly say what the problem is.. but its of a grahical nature.
So try...
Checking the video drivers you have installed.. are they 2K release ?
Also check your software DVD player.. maybe it didnt install properly ? etc, etc.

Have you installed DirectX 8.1?

Reinstall DX 8.1 and enable DMA for your DVD ROM drive :)

To start with, Ignore the Sound card, warning, it just means your sound card sucks, cuz of the INTERFERENCE inside the PCs, i get that warning too

if i remove enough PCI stuff to basically say the only thing left is the Sound Card, then i get no warnings

The Direct Show, you can fix that by Re-installing Direct X 8.1b

the WDM files, you need to re-install the Video Capture Drivers

here are all the files you need
