Hi!

I'm not able to change the region on my DVD-drive (Hitachi dvd-rom gd-2500) anymore. I'm also allowed to change the region on my DVD+RW (lite-on cd-rom LTN486S / DVD+RW IDE1108) just 2 more times. Are there any programs which I can use to change the region when I can no longer change the region? Or any drivers? I have used Google, but I could not find anything. Can anybody help me?

Another option would be to install region free firmware that can be found here:

You could also try AnyDVD, works great for me. www.slysoft.com or download at AD.

But I'm only able to use both programs for 30 days! Do I have to re-install them again or...?

You could (I guess) always reinstall the program. But if you want to continue using it, consider buying it.

The other way is to to as Nephilim suggested, install a region free firmware on the dvd drive. Should work if a firmware is available for your drive. Check it out.
