      Haven't got a clue. I never mess with those settings because you can only do it 3 times or so. I would recommend against using it at all.

            It could be a black market DVD or erroneously shipped to the wrong region.

            I am in favor of the road trip idea, however. Or just take it back.

              nay cuz it works just fine in my dvd players and with ithere media players but thats what you get for using an ms product especially as it comes free with the buggy os.
