I understand that you have a set amount of times to change regions on Laptops.
But i have a problem
I can't change it anymore, even though i still have more times to change it.
I get the message :

Unable to update region setting. Please make sure the drive contains a region 2 media and you have administration privilege.

Can anybody help me?

You could try using DVD Region Free.

It does cost, but can be 'bought' from the special shop.

You only have a set number of changes before it is permanent. The only way to get 5 changes back is to flash with a new firmware. Something that should only be done if really necessary.

As James said region free software is the only way. An alternative is anydvd from slysoft.
