VideoCD uses the MPEG-1 decoder, That should be available if your
DirectX is up to date, as it's provided by that - see DirectX 9.0c on
this page

If that doesn't help after reinstalling DirectX, you might find
FFDShow restores VideoCD playback, though I've never tried it for
that, it lists VCD support in the package contents :
