    Hello,

    I have a Dell Dimension 4600 with a DVD ROM drive and Windows XP. Can anyone tell me how I can check which regions the DVD player will accept? And if it won't accept DVDs from other regions, can anyone tell me a hardware or software way to get around this?

    Many thanks,
    Mason

    To check the regions of a DVD drive, Goto Device Manager > Click DVD/CD Rom Drives and double click the DVD drive > click DVD Region Tab

    Note: you only have a few times you can change this.

    List of regions per code



    as for software then try this DVD Region+CSS Free Lite


    No doubt others may have a free software option.
