Possibility to change the region on laptop DVD code was limited__

I have and watch DVDs from several regions 1,2,3.  My toshiba satellite running Vista Home Premium to limit the number of times I can do this.  Toshiba says that it is a limitation of windows.  Microsoft does not answer more questions of Vista.  We know of a fix for this or a computer laptop or net book which allows the use continues its DVD on several regions.  = Really what is a PC who loses the functionality with time and usage?

Hello

You can modify the code region only to a limited number of times (i.e. 5 times). This is by design, but you can post your comments on Microsoft Connect in order to help us improve Windows. Click on the link below.

  • Can I change the country on my DVD code?

    Any help gratefully received!

    I recently bought a Satellite M305D-S4830 to the United States, but for domestic use in the United Kingdom. I had forgotten the country on DVD code settings. (Doah!)
    Is there some way I can change the setting by default to the United Kingdom or, better, to EVERYTHING that I'll use the laptop to the United Kingdom mainly, but often visits the United States.

    You probably know that you can change code 5 times only, I guess. The last code used will be defined as a default and cannot be traded and more. Legal way you can't do anything else... Googling around you can find tools to swap in any case.

    One more thing: after the use of these tools, you will lose the warranty for optical disc drive.

  • Equim M40x: DVD player will not change the region even with 1 change remaining

    I have a Toshiba Equim M40x with a carpet * a DVD - Ram drive 830 s. My children recently tried to play a region 2 dvd and it failed with the message the DVD player is set in a different region.

    When I went into Device Manager to change the region (it was set to 1), it showed that I had a chance to change.
    However, when I tried to change it, I received an error message: "unable to update region setting. Please make sure the drive contains a region 2 media and you have the privilege of the administration. »

    I tried to put a region 2 dvd in the drive and I have the privilege of the administration and it still does not work.
    I then went looking for firmware free region for this disc, and of course, it does not exist.

    Help!

    Hello

    It of not possible to unlock the DVD player on a legal way.
    Of course, I found many sites that suggest that it of possible to unlock the firmware flash drive.
    But believe me; It is not desirable and very risky!
    You may damage the disc and then you can not read or burn CD or DVD media!

    I assume that you have already changed the region 5 times code. In such cases, it s already locked.

    Start in safe mode by pressing f8 when you start your PC.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press return.  Once charged, try to change the area by car.  If it still does not work, try the procedure but with another another DVD zone 2 under Windows can be picky about what it accepts.  If it works, just restart your PC and Windows does not start normally.

    I would like to know how to get to the place to change the region on an optiarc AD-5560 has DVD + RW.    Apparently a few months ago I received a software update from Microsoft on 4 different computers at home. I took a local of so-called expert to get the computer to recognize the dvd drive.  Fixed it.  The display was not the same since I came back.  I tried to get the other computers to recognize on them dvd players since then. Today I tried to fix the problem on another computer and anyway I'm going on a screen so that I was in Device Manager which allowed me to see the region that did it has been configured for. There was no region are entrusted to him. I took a chance and put the region 1 for the United States and the computer has finally acknowledged the dvd player.  I tried to fix the same problem on the laptop that I use now and have been unable to find the place to check the region assigned to the dvd drive and fix it.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - ist is possible to change the craphics controller?

    Is it possible to change the graphics controller to my Satellite Pro M70...
    If so, where to buy a new one?

    THX

    Hello

    Well, in general it s is not possible to replace or update the graphics card.
    But I compared a Satellite Pro M70 unit because this series of laptop was delivered with different hardware configurations and I found that these installed graphics cards:
    Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset AlvisoGM 8 MB to 128 MB shared video memory
    ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600SE 128 MB of video memory
    ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 700 256 MB of video memory

    However, in my opinion you can not change the graphics card

  • 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.
