Answer 1 :
You can, but only a few times. My sister did the exact same thing with her computer in France adn she said it would let her switch country settings to watch it, but you only get to do it like 3 times or something.

Answer 1 :
Try updating the driver.
Answer 2 :
DVD players generally have a limit of 4 changes of region, after which they are locked into the last mode that was chosen, with no chance of removing this that I know of. The best chance you have in my view is to get a new dvd player and always use it for wholesome purposes. This can perhaps bypass the other setting as it is a fresh player and should come with its own region changes.

Do those USB "dongles" give an internet connection when on a plane?
Do those USB "dongles" give an internet connection when on a plane?
Hey guys, Allow me to get right to the point: I am going to France next year, by plane, and was wondering if a dongle would still allow me to have internet activity up there in the sky. I am asking this because I am thinking about taking a laptop with me so I can boast to my friends, haha. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1 :
depends on your plane. the generic rule is no, but some planes now have cell receivers inside the plane and they may be able to handle the data. in most places its illegal to even try and if the plane does not have the devices installed then once airborn it would not work anyways.

Answer 1 :
anything u want!!!!
Answer 2 :
you can bring the power cord but you wont be able to plug it in. The airline will most likely provide headphones, a face mask, a blanket, and a toothbrush. Make sure to bring a neck pillow because regular pillows just don't cut on a flight that long. also bring an extra pair of clothes (just in case your flight gets cancled and the airline reschedules)
Answer 3 :
You can bring your laptop with you and the power cord but i have never been on a plane that had places where you could plug it in though, but in the airports they have the plug ins. You might want to bring a book/ magazine and crossword puzzles and things like that so you have something to do. Bring a change of clothes in case you spill something on your self of your plane gets delayed or canceled. Also bring deodorant in your carry on bag. ( i made a mistake once and didn't my flight ended up getting delayed for hours and the airport was sold out, i went to the hotel across the street and they only had one left and it was mens and im a girl but i had to buy it and wear it lol), I'd bring a tooth brush and a small tube of toothpaste. If you have an ipod or mp3 player bring that too. umm maybe a neck pillow to rest with. and some money or credit card! i think thats everything!!!
Answer 4 :
The first step is to check the TSA website for a list of prohibited and restricted items to insure that you do not pack anything that will be confiscated. Not only is this a headache for you but it could cause problems in clearing security at the airport. Remember that liquids, gels, and pastes are restricted to containers of 3oz (100ml) or less and must all fit in a single, one quart size, closed zip lock type bag. In general you are allowed to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item which could be a laptop, purse, camera case, or something similar. You can bring your laptop on the plane and use it as long as any transmission functions such as wireless internet are disabled. You will not however, be able to plug it in so you would have to rely on the power in your battery for as long as it lasts. As for other items I would suggest the following from personal experience: Change of clothing (or two if you can fit them in) Toiletries including toothpaste, mouthwash, lotion, deodorant, comb, toothbrush, and any medication you require (medication is exempt from the size restrictions however it must be declared and in the original container) Good book(s), IPOD or similar, perhaps some puzzle books. A neck pillow as mentioned previously is a good idea on these long flights.
