  When I right click and go to properties, it appears as
  Type: CD player
  File system: unknown
  Then when I head into the material click on ' Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-R6112.
  and head into the properties and DVD Region it is stuck on "Region 4.
  I try to change it to 'Région 1', but I get a message saying "unable to update region setting. Please make sure the drive contains a region 1 media and you have admin privilege.

  Hello

  First this from Toshiba CD/DVD drive has been installed in NON-Toshiba notebook.
  So if something is bad mind your material, you should contact the laptop manufacturer support.

  Also the firmware of CD/DVD drives should be published by laptop manufacturer.
  Here on the European driver Toshiba page you find a firmware for this CD/DVD player.

  Finally, in my view, that the area code has changed, already 5 times and now it's not possible to change more. The setting is fixed!

• Equium - How can I change the DVD region?

  even thought it says I have 1 more change available. I have a Pioneer DVD - rw dvrkd08a ata device and he tells me he needs a region 2 original disk and insert the disk and try again, but I just go around in circles.

  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
  In the worst case the ODD won't read and write Ant records

• 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

• DVD read CD and DVD - R but unable to read DVD + R

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4 and am running Windows 7.  I recently discovered that my optical drive (hp CDDVDW TS-L633N) is unable to read DVD + R.  The unusual detail is that it reads DVD-R, and CD without any problems.  Also, I can write a DVD + R.

  Because I just returned from Latin America, I thought that this problem was related to the locale.  Nope... the regional setting is correct.

  I uninstalled the driver and restarted the computer, but that didn't work.  I also downloaded Windows Fix it tool and failed there as well.

  Any other suggestions?

  Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm embarrassed to say that at the end of the day, there is a very simple solution that I forgot.  In other words, the lens just needs a good cleaning.

  Because it was reading DVD-R and CD format without any problem, I assumed the problem was related to a software problem.  After cleaning the lens with a Q-Tip and isopropyl alcohol, however, everything seems to be.  Thanks again for all the suggestions!

• My iMac does not read DVD

  Hello

  My iMac does not read DVD. Every time when I put in DVD (free or with content), it runs for a while and that he died. CD works for most very well, but sometimes they go inside and the drive is not recognized. And also sometimes the DVD drive is not recognized in ¨informations on system"in the Apple menu.

  Thank you

  Did you use a cleaning CD in the optical drive?

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

• 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.

  I was wondering if someone could forward that request to the person responsible slimdrive firwmares to Toshiba.
  He finds that the carpet * a UJ-830 s drive not reading DUAL LAYER DVD-R / DVD + R (although it reads DVD-ROM OK DVD9).
  This disc, Mat * a UJ - 830 s equips the Qosmio E10.
  I have searched everywhere for a firmware update without success, so Toshiba are my only remaining chance.

  Thanks for reading.

  Hello

  AFAIK this unit has a DVD Super Multi drive and it must use media suite:
  CD-ROM (Read) CD - R(read/write) CD - RW(read/write) DVD-ROM (read)
  DVD-R(Read/Write) DVD - RW(read/write) DVD + DVD + R(read/write) RW(read/write) DVD - RAM(read/write)

  In addition, these speeds are available:
  Maximum speed CD-ROM(24x:read) CD-R(24x:write) CD-RW(10x:write) DVD-ROM(8x:read)
  DVD-R(8x:Write) DVD - RW(4x:write) DVD + DVD + R(8x:write) RW(4x:write) DVD - RAM(3x:write)

  Maybe this drive can t use the double layer? I think he uses a normal DVD

  Hello Alex

  I have Satellite P20-303 and the DVD player is not able to read DVD + R/RW format. You have obviously portable US but I think the drive is the same.

  Please check s operating manuals and what formats are readable. As I already said that I think that your player can play just DVD R/RW.

• Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

  my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

  Hello

  I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
  In this case, you need additional codecs.
  This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
  Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  Good luck

  Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
  When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  This utility can remove the filters for you:
