region settings on a laptop hi hows it going, I just got a new laptop and I was wondering how do I configure the region setting to multi-region, it was set to region 2, then it was changed to region 1 when I dvd in region 1 disc, however it says I can only change it another 4 times, so if anyone could help me out that'd be great.  I'm using windows media player btw, thanks.

yes..the software solution is the easyest way..i recomen DVD RegionFree

It's becoming increasingly difficult to source software like this because Macrovision et al. are buying and closing them down. Just do a Google search and please don't link to anything from here.

Like the lady said... Can't be arsed to go into loads of detail, but a lot of DVDs (mostly Sony stuff) that won't play with DVDRegionFree will with AnyDVD.
