  • Cannot change region DVD

    I changed regions on wmp in region 4 (AUSTRALIA) for region 1 (US) to watch a dvd. He said 4 changes are allowed before getting locked. As this was the only one the first time I went to come. Now I'm trying to return to the region 4 (Australia) and it comes up with an error stating

    "Unable to update region setting. The drive reports that it requires media of the destination (region 4) Please insert the right setting and try again"

    I tried to change with the region 4 dvd in and out of the laptop but still get the same error.
    I checked for updates of pilot etc.

    Tips greatly appreciated

    Hello

    Maybe you have a second hand laptop and the first owner was already changing the region code who knows?

    But in this case you can do nothing. Only, you could try to reinstall Vista, and then try again.

  • Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?

    Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?  I have this stupid Windows 8 and so far I only have PowerDVD. But I also have windows media player.  I am trying to get Windows Media Player to access the DVD that I used for Windows 7, but whenever I stick one in this computer stupid, by default it starts to Power DVD.

    According to the power dvd faq: "the limit is in accordance with the requirements specified by the major movie studios. PowerDVD allows you to change the codes of the region up to 5 times (also depending on your DVD player) and then automatically record fifth region code setting. Subsequently, you can only play DVD titles in the fifth code region or non - CSS all regions DVD titles. Area code will remain locked even if you reinstall PowerDVD. »

    Is there by chance a legal way around this? I wish I could watch my DVDs on my laptop when I want without locking on my other. I don't do anything illegal as piracy of DVDs, I just want to be able to watch them. Could someone please? Thanks in advance.

    Use another program like VLC player or Potplayer.

    Otherwise, you will have to Flash a hack of firmware for this DVD region

  • Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to Play/Pause/Stop buttons

    Is it possible to change the link to the WMP to play/Pause and the Stop button?
    Because network alone and media buttons can be changed by the software.
    And I'd rather not WMP for my favorite media player.

    Unfortunately, the buttons are configured with WMP (if the CD is inserted) and WinDVD (if the DVD is inserted).
    I guess that you can not use buttons with 3rd party applications.

    I'm assuming that Ubuntu is the only OS installed on the computer, and you have a XP install disc.

    The hard disk must be erased all traces of the file system,

    clint341,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.  We cannot guide you more precisely by changing the BIOS settings that the BIOS settings are specific to your motherboard.  However, most (if not all) parameters of the BIOS have an option to restore the default BIOS (sometimes called "default opitimized").  It may be an option in the menu that you highlight, then press enter or it can be assigned to an F key and States at the bottom of the screen, press F? for the default settings.  I hope this helps.  If you are still not able to reset, check with the manufacturer of PC for more information about the BIOS.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • ThinkPad X 220 clean install problems (Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool)

    Hi all

    My apologies if this has been answered before (I searched through the forums of viable solutions).

    I tried to format my hard drive on my laptop Lenovo Thinkpad X 220 and perform a new installation of Windows.

    Since my laptop doesn't have any CD player, I went to download a Windows 7 .iso file professional hoping to use it as a

    bootable USB tool.

    Extract the file .iso on the USB port, went into the BIOS and choose USB, but in vain.

    Decided to download the exe tool Windows 7 USB/DVD with the .iso file I always had, but eventually received this message:

    After a bit of searching on Google, apparently there is a bypass to this by changing the file .iso of UDT (However the .iso file I had was already ranked UDT).

    If anyone has had experiences with this, I'd love to hear your comments or advice.

    Hi Hiro,

    I think I downloaded the two files .iso on this site here which has the same links.

    Looks like .iso files are corrupt (I've heard some people sometimes had to re-download).

    I looked for alternatives and eventually found one that worked.

    Thanks for the help.

  • IIS on Windows Server 2012 R2 8.5 sends error 401.2 when change password Administrator windows local, 500 errors

    IIS on Windows Server 2012 R2 8.5 sends error 401.2 when change password Administrator windows local, 500 errors

    This particular configuration is with Coldfusion 11. There is no errors in newspapers and the w3 service still works as are application pools. All websites and app pools run with transmission of authentication request.

    ColdFusion does not work with windows authentication and may be enforced as if reconfigured integrated instance to do this, if this isn't a matter of colfusion.

    Here is what I tried:

    1 I created a new user account with admin rights and disconnected and logged in as them and then make changes to the password on the server, and that didn't make a difference.
    2. I checked that all Web sites using the request pass through authentication.
    3. I checked that the application pool is also using the application-pass-through authentication.
    4. I looked to find errors in which case newspapers but don't see anything there either
    5. I also searched a failure in coldfusion logs and saw no more relevant here either, but I got colfusion running without IIS in any case.
    6. search of the roots of web for coded passwords hard and found nothing.

    If you have any ideas or any ideas let me know.
