It sounds like you are having trouble playing video files on an older version of Windows Media Player (version 6.1) on Windows 98. This older version might not support certain modern file formats found on VCDs, or it might lack codecs needed for playback. Here are a few suggestions to help resolve the issue:

• Ensure you have the latest codecs installed that are compatible with your version of Windows Media Player. You might need older codec packs since Windows 98 is a legacy system.
• Consider upgrading to a newer version of Windows Media Player that supports additional file formats and has better compatibility, although this might be challenging given the age of both the operating system and hardware.
• As an alternative, you might try a different media player that supports Windows 98 and has broader format compatibility, like an older version of VLC media player.
• Lastly, verify that the video files you are trying to play are functional by testing them on a different, more modern system.
