Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is
automatically set and you can view the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region
code, you are prompted to change the region code. You can change the region code
from your initial setting up to four times.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is fixed

the default settings by changing the video resolution setting within the Control

audio and video playback at all resolution settings. If you experience poor
playback performance, adjust the resolution to a lower setting.

subsystems need to be fully functional and enabled.
