Somehow your windows install is missing some of the standard movie playback components. The simplest way to allow you to at least play the game is to rename the DATA\BATTLE\MOVIES directory to something else (e.g. DATA\BATTLE\MOVIES_OFF) and it will simply skip them, and you should be able to play.
Hope that gets you up and running.

Go to the directory the game was installed to (usually My Programs\Slitherine\Great Battles of Rome, or something similar).
Then go into the DATA\BATTLE directory
Right click on the MOVIES directory which you will find inside. Select Rename, and alter the directory name (it doesn't matter what to - just to something so the game cannot find the movies). Hit Return to finish renaming.
The game should now not pop up that error message when you attempt to play.
