I couldn't find the disk with SP2 for this upgrade. Is that the cause of my problem? Is there a way to fix it? PLEASE HELP!

I seem to have a problem with Cyberlink DVD player. It won't play a DVD whatever i do. It used to play before i formated the disk but now it is always stopping as soon as it opens. i have an old Pentium III at 450 MHZ running WinXP SP2. Before this occured i was getting a message from Dr. Watson running each time i opened the explorer thus shutting it down. My drive was also converted to PIO mode but thanks to your advice it is now back to DMA. And another thing. My mobo seems to be locked and i can't access the clock's speed. Do you know anything about that? it is an Intel Seattle II SE 440 BX-2. Thank you in advance!!! And keep tweaking these chips!!! Hello to all the tweaking society!!!
