Changing the DVD Region code

How do i change the region code on my comuter. I just bought a DVD which said it was compatiable with all region codes however i cannot play it on this laptop. I have gone into properties - DVD region tab but cannot set my dvd region code to the new zealand region. The chages remaining are 0. Can i change to a new region? if so how please. Thankyou decoder.
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2 I have a Dell Notebook computer with Windows XP Home Edition. When I wanted to watch a DVD it said that the computer was Region 2 with 0 changes left. How can I change my computer back to Region 4 (Australia) without damaging the hard drive or risking my warranty.

    Steve, Problem still not solved.

    When I choose the Hardware tab it does not show any DVD regions to select from. It shows:

    All Disk Drives:

    ( 5 drives in total); and



    Device Properties:

    Manufacturer: ( Standard Disk Drives)

    Location: 0

    Device Status: Working properly

Go to My Computer, right click on the DVD icon, select Properties, choose the Hardware tab and DVD regions will be selectable there! Steve

    Of course you could USE your warranty and the nice people in service could verify what I already perceive as your handicap.
