Pioneer DVD f/load Region Setting

[Jasmine]

I want to change the current Region 4 setting to USA Region 1 on the DVD player. When I try to change it in Win2X, it won't let me. It says I can change it 4 times.

It says please make sure you have region 1 dvd or admin privelages (yes to both). How can I fix it?

Condition : your dvd rom is set to region 4.
simple solution : login as admin and insert a region 1 dvd into the drive & it will prompt if you want to use 1 of your changes to change the drive to region 1.

If you change the region coding on your dvd player too many times (i think 5 is max), you're stuck with the last change.

If you're asking for a way to make your dvd-rom drive "region - free" you need to flash your dvd-rom player. search google and you can find sites where they'll help you determine if this is possible with your dvd rom player. (warning: take care flashing your dvd rom cause you can make it dead)

Thanks Edgy but I already know (and have tried) all that.

All I want to do is change the regional setting once from 4 to 1. I have 4 more changes, so should work (tried 3rd party software to try and change it also) but keep getting errors. Is it because my operating systen is on a scsi drive, and my teckram card is a barrier to my optical drives somehow? In the device manager it lists my optical drives as scsi but I know they are not.
