Does anyone know how to allow unlimited region changes for the media player DVD player? I didn't realise you can only change it so many times and it's not gonna be very useful otherwise. Thanx

Your DVDRom in your tower, press the play button for 3 seconds & it will revert back to 5 regions.

You must have a play button??? The reason for having a play button & a headphone socket on the front of a rom is so that you can play music cd's without having to interact with windows. I have a very cheap DVDRom & it has a play button! I have not seen a rom that does not have a play button. Try Google. There is software out there that does this but the 3 second button press worked for me so i did not have to try any.
