Unless your DVD-ROM drive is regionless, you need to set region on the drive. This information is stored in some sort of PROM on the drive that limits the number of times you can change it (unless you get a hacked firmware for your drive). You will need to use some (most likely Windows-only) software utility from the drive manufacturer to do that. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
