Can someone please give me some advice. My dvd-Rom is stuck on region 1 is there anything i can do to reset it or am i doomed. I used to run the program slyfox in back ground this meant i could play any region dvd on my rom. But its not free is there anything else i can do. Thak you
Are you using hacked firmware, because if you are you will be stuck in that region unless the firmware is region free.
No am not using hack software. I used my cd-rom for both region 1 & 2 now i've used up my alication and its not reading region 2 disc's only region 1. i was using slyfox to by pass this wondering if there is a free and better programme out there ?. My sony dvd burning second draw reads much slower when i'm backing my film collection its very annoying Thank you for the reply.
Ok, so I read through all the threads that seemed relavent and I have to say they helped...which is good. But I am trying to figure out what CD-RW/DVD-Rom Combo I have, I have a Gateway M305CRV and under device manager it only says "Standard" under the manufacturer. The device "label" is QSI CDRW/DVD SBW242U. Now I am traveling so I don't have any tools to disasemble my laptop, so is there any way I can figure out what brand my drive is so I know which firmware to download? Thanks for the help and great info on this forum!! MNPyro

Download the free version of DVDInfopro. It does many things. It will ID your drive and firmware version and also can ID blank media as to manufacturer. http://www.dvdinfopro.com. Jerry
