This seems to be a Dark and Arcane secret, because I've been searching and asking since 9pm (now 11:15pm), and I have got zero response. Is this really that hard?

I want to watch a movie DVD on my laptop. WMP9 says it doesn't have decoders. KLE doesn't seem to work. What can I do?

Have you looked at this page, which has a selection of DVD decoders which might help?

I dont know that KLE is, so if you tried my solution idea I am sorry :)

You could try installing K-lite codec pack, in installation it is asked for which player would you like to associate codecs; WMP or Media Player Classic, if you chose WMP it might help. I've installed Media player classic but if you do not, installer might not ask that question, instead it might associate codecs with WMP automatically.
