a $25 computer is not new, no matter what the person who sold it to you said.

Put the error message you get on a search engine like google or yahoo, and you should find some sites with solutions to the problems. You'll probably have to download some codecs, or maybe another player.

if u don't already have it, get powerdvd.  are u sure its a dvd player?  will it read a cd?

if you're sure its got a dvd player, then using powerdvd. once you have it installed, it'll detect the dvd and open it up straight away
