I have an Nforce 2 athlon xp shuttle motheboard system with an optowrite dvd-rw. I can't play movie DVDs because any DVD software complains that my region isn't set.
In the DVD's hardware properties it says that the region isn't set but if I set the region (region 1) and then try again the same thing happens and then the Properties again lists the region as not set. However, unfortunately, it does properly keep the count of how many times I've reset the region and so now I'm down to 2.
I tried removing the DVD from the hardware list and rebooting/redetecting but the same thing happens.
I've looked in the registery under the system/controlset/control/class/{random-***-classID}<numbers> and I see that the DefaultDvdRegion is set to 1.
I'm stumped.
