Any ideas? .. can i change the region back?

You generally get 4 or 5 changes I think. I'm sure when you change the region it'll tell you how many you have left.

I'd make a backup of the movie with dvd shrink and mount it in a virtual dvd drive such as daemon tools and play from there.
That's what I do when I want to watch region 1 anime on my region 2 dvd drive (i dont want to perma change it)

there is nothing wrong with that message, DVD regions on movies have been around since DVD was introduced.

buying anyDVD have been a good investment for me, never have to worry about regions, or other BS on DVD, BD

Im sure this same dvd worked fine just afew weeks back! ..... shouldent a dvd & dvd rom both bought in uk both be set to play in the right region? ... its stupid!

Cheers though :D

any PC drive you buy it is always not set to any specific region.

When a company makes drives they make them in bulk, so they never set the region.

It is up to the user to do so, with RPC-2 user can set the region five times and OEM can change it 4 times. After that it can't be changed.

You can also download hacked firmware and flash firmware that is region free

Well i done a little googling and found this site > http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php .... some very helpfull people on there, i now have a region free rom but have to use anydvd to get past the windows player restrictions ... anyway all sorted, if anybody ever has any problems with a rom drive of any kind i could not recommend that site more.
