What I can suggest to uoi is that you wash your hands thoroughly with hot water and soap 4 or 5 times after watching this DVD.

What region is that DVD?? Most porn DVDs are region-free, or for that matter, all-region. Have u in fact ever played any DVD on that DVD- ROM drive satisfactorily before?? Will that DVD play on a normal set- top?? Have u adjusted region code settings on the player program? The 117 is hardware set. There may be a way of unlocking the region code restrictions through a link on www.inmatrix.com. But I don't thinmk that's your problem.

Hey Mehmet, how would you know that they're region-free? :)

Either says right on the label (most North American ones at least are) or there is a logo of the world with ALL juxtaposed on it or both.

you need to buy a APEX DVD player. It is the cheapest one made in China and it plays all kind of formats DVD. the problems APEX sometimes breaks down easy, but it is cheap. Good luck.
