Your DVD Drive will only allow for 5 region code changes. You are then locked on
the last region zone.
BTW - this is a Windows Update Newsgroup.
In Device Manager, select Properties of the DVD Drive and you'll see "DVD
Region" tab.
Quote - CAUTION - You can change the region a limited number of times. After
Changes remaining reaches zero, you cannot change the region even if you
reinstall Windows or move your DVD drive to a different computer.
Not obvious but that's it. You'll need a new DVD drive.
