Yes: Get rid of Roxio, and get a program like PowerDVD. It will play VCDs. I've had no end of troubles with Roxio products, and gave up on them. Or, just search google for "VCD Player Program" and you'll get a number of hits about players and authoring programs.

The other alternative is to open the .DAT file with Windows Media Player. Open media player and drag the .DAT over to it. The disk will seek for half a minute, and start playing the file.
