DVD region problems

I used UK and Aussie DVD region on my laptop purchased in the United Kingdom. Now, I have "a change to the left" and it won't let me change the region for the Aussie (4) and I can't watch any DVD. Any way around this?
Thank you

Unfortunately, it doesn't have much to do on the legal track.
I mean that applications set are not very serious and risky.

  • DVD region of Mat * a UJ - 820 s!

    Hello
    Can someone help me solve my problem on my DVD-ROM DVD region? I tried several free software DVD region, but none of them worked. Therefore, I must only watch DVDs with region 2. The strange thing is that these software worked on the laptop from my friend who is not toshiba, but on my laptop, it can make no effect. Please help me! I appreciate the answers really.
    Thank you
    David

    Hello David

    In my opinion, you can't write on any kind of problem. Each player used in Toshiba laptops can change the region code for a quintuple. The last code used will be fixed and there is no way to change this.

    It is well known that it can be changed by using different software, but why it is not possible to do it on your player I can't explain.

    Good bye

  • Satellite C850/074 - question about limitation Code DVD region

    I live in Western Australia (region DVD Code 4). I just bought a Satellite C850/074. I inserted a DVD (The Bourne Identity). Message:
    ' + This DVD can not run because your DVD region Code is 4 and the region Code for the DVD 2 + ".

    There is a procedure by which changed from 4 to 2, but this area Code is possible 4 times. After the 4th change DVD region Code is the Code inserted for the 4th change.

    I had this problem with a DVD player, I bought over 10 years ago. I changed my old DVD by finding a code of procedure on the net which allowed the region Code will be replaced with region Code 0, who plays all DVDs.

    Since then, I bought two DVRs of pioneer who play all DVDs regardless of region Code.
    I thought that this ancient thought was a thing of the past. Now, I find that Toshiba seems to be disconnected curent DVD playback devices.

    Is there a method by which the region Code can be changed to region 0 Code which plays all region Codes?

    This Toshiba laptop does not offer a method of changing the number: it offers a choice of countries, which continues to limit the DVD that can be played and the number of changes to 4.
    Help please

    > Is there any method by which the region Code can be changed to region 0 Code which plays all region Codes?
    No, there is no method that allows you to change this settings always.

    Of course, you can find many more tips in the world wide web how overcome these settings, but I do not recommend trying this. Most people say that a firmware update is necessary, but use of this incompatible firmware will damage the CD/DVD drive so its definitely not recommended.

    How to make that one final change from region t rear 2?

    Hello

    The DVD region is limited and can be changed to 4 or 5 times
    If the option is grayed out then that would mean that you have already changed this time view settings and now it is not possible to s more.
    In my experience it of not possible to disable this limitation

    Of course, there are a lot of different information about this and many people are trying to solve this problem by updating the firmware using a few pirates and unofficial software but I would not recommend this because it could damage the STRANGE

  • Error message DVD region code in Windows Media Player on Windows 7

    Original title: Windows Media Player cannot read my DVD

    I'm reading a DVD that was produced by my company in Toledo Ohio. A pop-up message telling me that it cannot be read in my part of the world. As photography video and DVD recording made in Toledo, I don't understand why it won't play. More when I went to the web for help following the instructions that I was told there is no solutition for this problem. Can you help me?

    Hi johnefalk,

    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Change DVD region
    a. Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and press on enter to open Device Manager.
    b. double-click on CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, click on the DVD drive that you want, and then click Properties.
    c. on the DVD region tab, make the desired changes.

    Note: To configure your DVD drive to play discs from other regions, select a geographic area from the list of regions. As a general rule, you must select the region in which you reside. It is not often necessary to change the setting again.

    Important: The region can change only a limited number of times. When changes remaining equals 1, and you select a new region, an alert is displayed to warn you that after this, you only will be able to play DVDs from that region. Be aware that you will not be able to change the region setting for some DVD hardware and software decoders.

    Step 2: If the problem persists, run the Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshoot utility and check the result.
    Open the Windows Media Player DVD Troubleshoot utility

  • Qosmio G20: DVD region Code?

    Hello

    I am about to purchase a Qosmio G20 wasn't what I just learned today that they won't be available mid-2005 in Belgium.

    However, in preparation since then, I have a few questions:

    Because the Qosmio is a DVD playback mode without having to start Windows, this means that the region will be probably set somewhere in the Bios for a given region.

    Travel laptop users and my partner is American, so we have DVD region 1 and 2.

    Are there any evolution of the WinDVD software when running on Qosmio the failing lock a region code after X play. I've never understood that laptops (mobile systems) have the same restrictions as the reception of readers of DVD/entertainment (whow by the way no one knows!)

    So, how can we play the two regions on the Qosmio G20 or anything that will be available for the Belgium.

    Thank you
    Danny

    The bounding can be changed 5 times.

    After the last selected region Code is saved in the DVD player.

    But also, there are a lot of programs (Freeware) that help make your life easier and work around this Limitation.

    The only thing that you can do this through precaution is to google all over the place.

  • Satellite P300 19 p - CD/DVD burning problem

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and I hope somone will be able to help.

    I have DVD burning problems. When I use software engraving the image is usually copied ok and then the burning process starts, which usually lasts only a few moments, then the machine spits out the disc burnt and wasted.

    I usually use Corel DVD Copy 6, but have you tried TOSHIBA and other programs such as NERO. With the help of Corel VideoStudio, it burns discs with a success rate of 90%, but the problem comes when you try to copy my own created disks.

    I tried different types of discs (that is to say + R and - R), and I also tried burning speeds.

    Anbody else suffers from this problem?

    I have managed to find an error code 06077-26 - 2A 040902, made this average anyhting for anyone?

    TEMPRO alerts appear to have provided updates firmware for a number of other DVD players, but not for my machine? Maybe it's due a? All the drivers are up to date.

    Thanks for listening and the anybodies help is more than welcome.

    See you soon.

    In my opinion, you should not think about buying replacements. If you think that the drive does not properly contact service. If necessary the reader will be replaced free of charge.
