Can't play DVD on DVD-ROM!

[FatBat]

I'm using a DVD-ROM(Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-C2402)(for laptop) to view this 'Blow' movie which I just got. Unfortunately the movie won't run but instead installs a DVD-Playing software called 'Interactual'

After installing it I tried to run the program with this new DVD-software. When I click play it tells me to insert 'a DVD disc into my DVD-ROM' (which is already in!!!) I tried ejecting and reinserting it, but with no luck.

I also tried playing it with my desktop, which has a Panasonic DVD-ROM. The same thing happen when I put in the DVD 'Blow'
It installs this DVD-software called 'Interactual' I tried it and the same shit happens.
Then I try running it with my default DVD-software(DVDPlayer) but after the menu comes up and I choose play an error occurs(I forgot what, all I remember is it doesn't work!)

I then tried another DVD, 'Gladiator', this works fine and all, but when I insert the DVD it installs another freakin DVD-software, called 'Interactual:Friendly'(? some shit like that) which mind you doesn't work either. 'Gladiator' worked when I tried using my 'DVDPlayer.exe' to run it. But when I choose a scene and watch it, all of a sudden it will reset and stop teh whole movie. I tried this multiple times, and the same damn problem occurs.

So now I have 2 problems, with the 'Blow' and 'Gladiator' DVD. They came cheap, what can I expect! Lets just say it ain't original DVDs

I'll try and come up with more specs if needed.

Blow: 2.35:1
dts 6.1 surround
dolby 5.1 surround
dolby2.0 surround
Region 1

Gladiator: Dual Layer
2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen
dts 6.1 surround
dolby 5.1 surround
dolby 2.0 surround
Region 1

Pls note that these "original" DVDs come in 1 disc each and that the specs given could be not real.

Forgot to mention that my laptop runs on 'Win ME' and my desktop on 'Win98SE'
Pls help, is it the Region part? Cause I can't find hacks on my DVD-ROM

I just realize that my drive for my laptop is Region 1 and on my desktop it is Region 3 But weird thing is 'Blow' doesn't work on both!
