That's a different computer, on my desktop I didn't change the region (the broken DVD RW is on my desktop). Still says Region 1 on my broken drive. I just hate mechanical failure, especially when it's two so closely together. Just an excuse to get a better burner I guess. I have the Sony DVD RW DW-22A right now.

It's not free unfortunately. Around 3/4 years ago I managed to get hold of a legit free version, I've never needed to upgrade it.

Well I fixed the TV, and the DVD R still burns CDs which will hold me over for a couple of weeks until I get a new one (burning a few school cds for the wife now, An Interactive Cadaver Dissection Experience... fun).
