Q: Region Code won't change even with 1 change left, how come?

I just inserted a new dvd into my macbook and the region code changer popped up. It reads: This is the last time you can change the drive region. And that's cool, the new disc is my normal region - except when I do change it in the dialog box and set my last and final region - dvd player just quits itself.

 

When I re open it, the region code changer appears and it happens all over again.

 

I've tried re-booting and trying different discs but nothing works. I'm not even getting an error message.

 

Can anyone help me?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

    Ouch,

     

    If you ever do get this worked out, you may want to make it region free...

    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.

     

    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying whatever you decide.
