Hi all

DVD rom drives limit you to only 5 regional changes. I have used all 5 of these without konwing, and have unfortuantely bought a Region 2 DVD (USA), i am region 2 (Europe) and cannot watch the DVD on my computer anymore.

Does anybody know a way around the limitation settings?Maybe there is some sofware that can crack this or sit in the background of the computer, removing all regional settings??

I would be very happy if anyone can help me.

IMO you can't but ask your DVD supplier about it. Maybe you will be able to change it but I don't think so

Perhaps if you flashed the Firmware/BIOS? I'd probably ask the Manufacturer for a replacement first, though.

Sorry due to the nature of the topic you'll have to ask at another outlet other then GS.
