Hi, I've been trying to setup a way to watch movies on my old win98 pc. I currently want to try using VLC 2.2.8 (newer versions wouldn't work, this one does if I run it with the default compatibility settings in KernelEx with the core update) Watching videos from file, or trying to listen to audio works fine, but I can't get it to read from a dvd or cd (and it's not just the one drive I'm using either, I've tested multiple). When I try to do that, I get the following error message:

Things I've tried:
Other versions of VLC (none fixed the issue)
other compatibility modes in KernelEx (only one I think may work is XP SP2)
I don't really know what the problem is, but it works fine with this version on any other PC I try. If this is a question for the VideoLan forums just let me know, however if anyone knows anything about fixing this I'd greatly appreciate it.
Also I am open to the idea of other DVD players, if yall have any suggestions.
