My laptops DVD drive has been set to region 2, which is Japan / Asia I think, maybe South America? This was brought from Harvey Norman in Manukau, Auckland, so it's a NZ laptop and I'd have thought it would be pre-set with the NZ region. Anyway, I don't own any DVD's from those regions, and I've never ever changed the region on my drive before. It says I have 4 changes left. Isn't there meant to be 5?

Whenever I reinstall windows I have to change the locale from Singapore to NZ. Maybe that has something to do with it? That's where the laptop was shipped from as a replacement. 

What should I do about this? I'm calling HP on Monday but I'm pretty sure they're going to tell me I'm lying or something, which I'm not. I'm pretty pissed off since this wasn't a cheap laptop either.
