i just recently bought this cdrw/dvdrom and it doesn't seem to like me very much.

one of the problems i have at the moment is my region settings.... i can't seem to read dvd's from overseas at all... (on my pioneer dvr109 nor on my sony crx320e.) i downloaded the nyk5 driver... installed it, uninstalled it, and also used this program that claimed it could remove region settings.... but to no avail. it even reduced my number of region changes to 2 (from 5).

i was wondering, if there was anyway to reset the counter? back to 5, and back to whatever it was for vendor settings... will formatting the computer help? or is there a program that could do the job? any help would be much appreciated thank you.
