If you want to use Windows Media player you will either need to purchase a program that has a DVD decoder for more information on DVD decoders please take a look at the link below.

You need a codec for the DVD. Go here (link further down) and download the K-lite codec pack which has the most used ones, agree with everything unless you have preferences you know about and want.

The software technology used to decoded the format used by DVD's is owned, and has to be purchased in order to decode and playback the content. Hardware manufactures already have paid for this license for your "on-the-shelf-dvd player". You have another option... to download a DVD Player that includes a pre-licensed decoder.
Download this codec pack... http://www.codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_mega.htm
Then, open the program called "Media Player Classic" that the mentioned codec pack will install.

Your friend probably reinstalled a "generic" version of Windows,
and did NOT use the CD-ROMs that were supplied by ACER with your computer.
If you still have those disks, maybe one of them is an "Applications" disk, and you can reinstall the "missing" applications from that CD-ROM.
Or, if you don't have that set of CD-ROMs, contact ACER, and order a replacement set. Usually, the fee is $20, plus the cost of courier-shipping.
Or, look at ACER's web-site -- they may make those applications available for free download.
