Answer 1 :
You can change the drive settings to different regions, but on Windows this is restricted to 5 times in the drive's lifetime. The bes thing to do is buy an external DVD rom drive and set that as region 2, leaving the region 1 set up on the main drive. To change the region, go to the Device Manager, then change the DVD Rom drive region in it's Properties.
Answer 2 :
Probably not, you will need to buy a DVD player that is compatible.
Answer 3 :
It will not work on conventional media player software. I personally use DVD unlocker, which bypasses the region system. There are plenty of them out there if you just google "region free media player"
Answer 4 :
the Dvd should work Dvd's are very basic and as long as you have a Dvd drive on your computer then it should run

Selling an old faulty laptop in the UK.?
I've got an old HP Pavilion DV8000 laptop and the screen doesn't work for probably 95% of the time. I'm based in the UK and i'm thinking of selling it to one of these companies that pays for old working/non-working laptops - can anyone give an idea how much i would get selling it to one of these companies (every little helps)? Also are these companies reputable - i don't want to get ripped off!! Many thanks in advance.

I don't know what companies you have in mind but most are reputable. You might get $25 for it if someone wants it for parts

Should i trust a person im buying a laptop from in the UK..paying through DHL?
Should i trust a person im buying a laptop from in the UK..paying through DHL?
I'm buying a macbook pro from someone in the UK for a very low price and they said that we can do all of the money and stuff on a DHL page where i can give over the money and shipping cost on there and I should get the package within the next week or so..Should i trust this or is it a scam?

Answer 1 :
It sounds like a scam. Why don't you tell them you'll send the money after you receive the laptop? Or why don't you bluff and say that your father is going to be in the UK for a business trip next week - where can he meet you to pay/get the notebook so you can save on shipping charges, and see what they say. A very low price is a red flag - why wouldn't he sell it for more or else locally considering there would be buyers for a cheap price?! If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
Answer 2 :
Can you give any more info? like the guys name or address? You can usually tell pretty quick if it is a scam just by looking at those.
Answer 3 :
i would not trust this person unless the person has given you some personal information or if you have met the seller. It sounds like a scam because the laptop is really cheap and will be sent in a week. that is too good to be true. don't trust it

You'll need a new power lead since the one supplied will be a US one. Check the laptop power supply before using it to make sure it will accept 240/230 v - most do.
