Default Windows Media Player Help! Easy 10 points if you can help me.?

I have a problem trying to play DVDs on my laptop. When ever I try, I get the following error from Windows Media Player:

Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.

---------------

Where can I get the updated driver? It's a Gateway computer I bought in February.
I run Vista...

Go download VLC media player.

It can play everything, including DVD's. I'm not kidding when I say everything, and it is a very highly rated program, despite it's non-flashy looks. Trust me, it'll work. Cheers.
