Hi,
I have an Acer Aspire 5920g which uptil today was playing my dvd's fine.
When I tired getting them to read today, windows media player said that there was a copyright disclaimer issue between my dvd drive, video card...and decoder
And this was supposed to be a regional issue (I have dvd reg killer on)
It told me and is still telling me that windows media player thought that I was set to region 1
I went to my computer (I have windows vista btw) and checked my dvd drive, when I found a surprise.
I had 2 drives, one cd and one dvd (the cd one is new, in all my time with this laptop I had never seen it) In any case, I checked all the drives, everything was region 2, just like the dvd I had tried to put it.
I then tried to see if disabling the "fake" cd drive would help, with no success
Then I proceeded by downloading other media players, everything from real to vlc
VLC manages to read the dvd, but the image is a big lot of fuzz and very staticky.
I then tried other dvd's..
for all other region 2 ones I tried, I had the same problem
and for a region free dvd, the computer isnt even recognising it.
Anyway, thankyou for reading this and I hope you'll be able to help
I have been reading tips and suggestions from this site for a long while, first time I've ever had to post though!
