I recently purchased a Sony DVD-ROM and the manufacturer did something to make it multi region. They also installed DVD Genie & Power DVD. But due to some problem the drive did not work.

They replaced the drive & replaced Power DVD with WIN-DVD. Then it stared working perfectly. Until recently I entered passwords & serial numbers to register the WIN-DVD. Since then it will not play any of the movies. As soon as insert a dvd, WINDVD loads up straight away but nothing happens when I hit the play button.

Using windows explorer I can read the contents of the disk but can not play it. (Recently I installed DVD Decrypt just to test the program but never used it other than to read one disk under ISO read mode).

I will greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter.
