    Lewis,

    You may need to do this :

    Right Click My Computer icon on Desktop > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager.

    Locate your DVD drive > highlight > right click > Properties > DVD Region Tab and set it to Region 1

    Lewis,

    Shame - obviously different drives have different attributes - mine is a Mat****a (Pioneer or Panasonic - can't remember and no indication on facia). I am running XP Pro - maybe other OS's are different.

    Suggest you log onto the LG/ATI web sites or email tech support.

    Might be worth removing the drive in device manager and rebooting to let Windows find it again

    Edit

    I see the BBS has edited out part of the name of my drive as an 'offensive' word, but it's unimportant anyway.
