| 186030 | 2003-10-23 22:00:00 | Hey, Got an Acer TM290 laptop here that has had the region setting changed 5 times and is now locked to Region 1 :( which, of cause is not NZ! I have tried the DVD Region-Free and AnyDVD programs but they don't seem to work with this DVD drive (Matshita UJ-811). With these programs running, when you try to play a DVD, PowerDVD says that the disk is damaged and won't play. Without these running PowerDVD says wrong region! I see though that the drive still has 4 Vendor resets left. A vendor reset will give you 5 more goes with the region settings :) Does anybody know how to use these vendor resets? Cheers |

| 186033 | 2003-10-23 22:41:00 | Try playing round with DVD Region-Free... You might need to manually specify the region.. manually start the app with PowerDVD XP... Im not sure, but have a play around because chances are you'll be able to get it to work! | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 186034 | 2003-10-23 23:09:00 | Cheers chill, but I have had a good play around with all the settings. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 186035 | 2003-10-23 23:18:00 | That's odd because the same thing happened for me (Only I was using 1.2.0) and specifying the region worked (Only needed on certain DVD's). Which leads me to ask if it's just one DVD you're trying or many? Im sorry, but I have no idea about the Vendor Reset's though :-( Ideally though you'd rather get something more long-term going correct? Once you've used those reset's, then what'll you do? You'd be back here again, right? ;-) |

| 186036 | 2003-10-23 23:26:00 | Yea, a long-term fix would be good, but In the mean time I'd rather have it set to Region 4 so I can at least watch NZ DVD's. I'll see if I can get hold of an older version of DVD Region-Free and try it. |
