If your Region 1 DVD won't play on your Region 4 Computer DVD drive you could try a software called <font style="font-family: arial,helvetica; text-decoration: none; font-size: 12px;"> "DVD Genie" to change your drive to Region Free. </font> DVD Genie is a versatile region selector and tweak utility for various PC-DVD -players. <font style="font-family: arial,helvetica; text-decoration: none; font-size: 12px;">Remember though that you can only change your drive's region 5 times. The last change will stay that way for ever. There is some info about it at;<br> http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_genie.cfm<br> <br> Good luck<br> <br> Nikita Dulics<br> Stotts College<br> 43-53 Elizabeth St<br> Melbourne VIC 3000<br> ph. 9629 9966<br> </font><br><b><i>"Bricks J.
