I have a laptop here, a HP HDX 16 EO1000 with a Blu-Ray drive.

Installed on the machine is a software package called HP MediaSmart, which presumably can play Blu-Ray movies.

However, when inserting a BD disk and starting HP MediaSmart, it comes up with a warning screen and the following message:

This disc has been coded for Region B only and will not play in this machine. Please eject this disc and play on a Region B player.

The question is, can we change this region? The machine is in europe, which is the B-region, but apparently the drive, or software, or both, is set to some other region. I don't even know where to find the current setting so if anyone knows, please post an answer with some information of where to look.

    I'm trying to figure out what the best possible processor is that I can stick in my HP MediaSmart server. I'm clueless when it comes to correlating CPUs to motherboards. I suspect it's the socket type I care about, but I worry that there's more to it.
