Greetings one and all!

We have here a problem, our computer was playing DVD's fine, however earlier today a region 1 (USA) DVD was inserted into one of the drives, and played fine however since has stoped playing Region 2 DVD's, we have not altered any settings, flashed anything etc, simply played the DVD, and it has changed region...

The DVD Drive is a - NEC - AD-5170A

Windows Media Player gives the following message: "Your system is set to DVD region 1. To play this DVD, set your system to region 2 or region 4."

If we play a DVD in the second DVD drive it runs perfectly however!

We have done a system restore, and while that solved a multitude of problems, namely our inability to conenct to the internet, it did not fix the DVD problem!

We are running on a quad core PC with Windows Vista.

Thanks for any help, Jcb33 and Co! :D
