Region Cant be change

[dankz]

Hello and thank you for your time, I just bought a Sony Vaio Laptop with a Matshita Blueray player. When i try to play a movie in Windvd (version :
8.0 DXVA B08.385) it says this dics is coded to region a and wont play on this machine. So the st thing i did was go to device manager and check the region under the blueray player, it is set to region 1(us).
So then i went to windvd setup and under region/dvd it is also set to 1 with 4 changes left. Now win i go to the blue ray tab in the setup menu, there is no option selected. and it say i have 5 changes left. But i cant change anything and the options are grayed out. it seems it has been locked with no region. I even tried to start up windvd as a adimitrator, and the same thing, options a grayed out. here is all my info from the info tab ::OS:

Your laptop should be under warranty - go back to the store you bought it from. If you mess about too much you might void that warranty.

Try setting the region when there is no bluray disc in the drive, ie start WinDVD BD with no disc in the drive, you should now be able to change region.

I had the same problem until I downloaded and installed the latest patch from Sony website. Download and install the path from www.sony.com/support . The latest patch will update WinDVD to 8.0 B08.425
