Somehow, after having it for just over a year, my DVD player has been fixed to 'Region Not Specified' instead of 'Region One'.

I'm almost certain that it happened when I was burning a particular set of dvds (Region Ones!).

I won't do THAT anymore, but now how do I change it back to Region One? It won't play dvds, just giving me an error message about "region selection has been fixed to Not Specified".

I've been on the HP site, but found no help there and the little booklet that came with it doesn't either.

Help?!

I have Windows XP Home Edition. It comes with 3 basic color schemes. I wanted to know where I could find more color schemes. All sites will be looked at, but I would like free sites if possible.

Thanks!

Since I joined Answers I have started getting millions (well lots) of e-mails from all over (esp USA) offering free stuff (for which I have to apply for a loan, book club etc). My e-mail address is .co.uk so isnt it obvious I cant apply for US offers as Im not a resident? Is it a coincidence? (Plus I hate the way they use my first name as if we are old mates!)

It was working great playing oblivion, bf2, cod2 without a hitch. All of the sudden today it was running a little laggy when i first started to play a game, and i turned it off. When i wanted to turn it back it on it goes to the usaul Black energy saver screen, checks hardware bla bla. It tries to start up windows but it goes to a blue screen and starts all over. This computer was working great. I hope it is just a software problem.If it is not the os i am thinking it is the hdd. I should try to boot up in safe mode though, but will this work on a custom computer?

I've had it for 6 years now and I haven't even re-install the operating system. It used to run like a charm, but lately is kind of getting sluggish. I have about 100 programs installed and tons of files (music, videos, very important files, etc). Should I re-install XP and spend hundreds of hours to get it to the same state as it is now. Or should I buy a new machine and transfer everything?
