Urgh! this is a nasty one
So exactly what happens when you try to play them? does the app (power DVD, media player et.,) not start at all? Does it hang? Or does it play but you get crap on the screen?

@ tempsonyfreak
I would reccomend removing all the DVD players etc you have installed, and any codecs that you have installed and do a fresh install, you may have codec conflicts.
Just use the K-Lite codec pack, and windows media player or VLC player.

Check if DMA is activated.
Now, i have my own problem. Im trying to set up a personal network but when i go to My network places and select "view computer on my work group" sometimes i can see only my own computer but in the other pc i can see both. This happends in my 3 pcs at home and doesnt seem to be anything to fix it.

Sounds like the problem PC sometimes struggles to get an ip address assigned on DHCP.
Next time it happens, click 'start', then 'run' then type in cmd. At the command prompt, type in ipconfig and press enter. This'll show you if your network adapters have been assigned an ip address and default gateway. If it hasn't, type in ipconfig /renew (enter) and see what happens.
Setting the network properties on all three computers to use fixed ip addresses may help.

No, there's two basic settings. The ip address of each computer, and the default gateway, which is sort of the 'route' to the internet. It's usually either the ip address of your router, or the ip address that your isp assigns.
If you do ipconfig on one of the machines that is working ok all of the time and note the ip address of the default gateway, then you can manually enter that address in the appropriate field of the network properties dialogue when you assign ip addresses to each individual computer.
To be honest, it sounds like an Operating System problem, bearing in mind that the computer struggles with both wired and wireless networking.

sorry did you say you have tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them.
strange it should as for a codec if its dvds as mpeg2 decoder should be there. could understand if they were divx films or something like that.
i know it probably wont help but have you tried media player classic by gabest.org
it will play anything thrown at it if that does nt work have you tried updating microsofts media player see if that can add some codecs that appear to be missing
