the code setting is locked in the registry u need to find it or do a complete NEW install that way the Registry will be wiped "sanchez" <anon (AT) anon (DOT) com> wrote in message news:46245d46$1_1 (AT) news (DOT) iprimus.com.au... I have a lap top with a dual layer DVD burner. It is a Matshita UJ-831D dual layer DVD R / RW+/-. I normally use DVD shrink to do all my copying. A few times I got message that the drives Region Code had to be changed and that I had only 5 remaining. So it allowed the change five times then it got locked. That means if the Region Code is anything other than the one to which the drive is set then it is unable to even open the DVD. So I did a little research on the internet. I found among the solutions suggested ... (a) Reinstallation of the Operating System (b) Firmware upgrade flashing. Solution (a) failed Solution (b) unable to find a firmware upgrade for this one. I dont know that there is a easy fix for this problem without buying a new drive. Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Sanchez The best thing is to get a program like dvdidle or the cheaper versions of |

No it's not locked in the registry it's in the DVD unit itself. I recently swapped my LG unit into a virgin computer and guess what "no more changes allowed" |
I had this problem here in Region 4 land with my Pioneer unit. Only
two changes of region allowed, and couldn't find a solution anywhere.
Now I have both DVD Region+CSS Free and DVDRegionKiller V2.5 running
in the background -- don't know which program does what, but they're
both invisible, and I've had no problem with region coding ever
since.
