DVD Drive Regions
This is the third beta release for Dets. with no Windows ME,9x support. I will not be strong armed into upgrading to XP. This is not fair. I have a G2U, which I plan to upgrade in the spring and with these tactics, I may go with ATI.

In windows XP you can set their region, I think, to a limit of 5 times. Though there must be crack programs and the like.
However I'm not sure.

Both the DVD drive itself and XP have DVD region locks; your DVD software (PowerDVD or whatever) may have a region lock too. In order to make your system regionless, you'll have to patch your DVD drive with region-free firmware (Google search for it), and use software like DVDGenie to make unlimited changes in XP and your DVD software.
I have a quite old DVD drive at that time no one did know what DVD region is ... I have always use the region free software made for the Hollywood plus card but when PC was strong enough to use without I didn't have any trouble either ...
but one thing is sure there is software to do the jopb without any hardware mod so don't complain
