Hi, I have a TOSHIBA PORTEGE M800 laptop (brand new). As I live in Europe, Croatia, I use the region 2 DVDs, but also quite many region one and some, to my misfortune, region 3. Now to cut the long story short, my DVD drive is blocked to region 3 with no further change options left. I feel cheated cos I bought the computer, dvds are original, so why all these problems. I can't use my toshiba to watch dvds no more cos I have only region 3 set almost by accident. Could you please help me do something about it. Thank you so much for your attention to this and I wish you a merry XMAS. Goran Barbaric

I'll try re-installing the dvd player, but i donno if it'll work. i have windows vista business and to the extent i found out about those things concerning dvd regions they build in a sort of double trigger, one in the players firmware (that becomes frozen after 5 changes) and the other one is in the vista itself. third one may be coming thru the power dvd or other sort of player software. at least two of them interact. i even called 2 toshiba and other repair sites, they say it can't be fixed other then buying another dvd drive. talking about ripoff and costumer rights.....where have all the good people gone, wish i knew. thanks for yor help, i appreciate it. :-) I'll try re-installing the dvd player, but i donno if it'll work. i have windows vista business and to the extent i found out about those things concerning dvd regions they build in a sort of double trigger, one in the players firmware (that becomes frozen after 5 changes) and the other one is in the vista itself. third one may be coming thru the power dvd or other sort of player software. at least two of them interact. i even called 2 toshiba and other repair sites, they say it can't be fixed other then buying another dvd drive. talking about ripoff and costumer rights.....where have all the good people gone, wish i knew. thanks for yor help, i appreciate it. :-)
