Laptop not reading dvds

My laptop isn't reading dvds from the Region 2.. It is a brand new Alienware and I'm not sure what's wrong, it says DVD Copy Protect in Windows Media Player...
I checked the region settings on the drive and it was set to 1, so I changed it back to 2 and still not working, it doesn't even work with AnyDVD.
I bought a REGION FREE external cd writer too, and it doesn't read it on that too.
I put it into my desktop which is a few years old and it works fine, same with dvd player. The problem is not with all dvds just some..
I would appreciate some help!

Try using a different media player on your machine.
Get vlc media player - should work.
Also, can you set your region code on your drive to 0, making it region free?0 -
search DVD DECRYPTER, it will extract all the files FROM the DVD whilst making it region free.
you can then watch with vlc on the pc and/or convert to a blank dvdrSave saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"0
