Does your optical drive show up in Device Manager?
Are you in region 2?Yes, it's still there
*Oh and I also forgot that my optical drive is set to region 2 (I don't know if that makes a difference)
Are you in region 2?
Shouldn't make a difference, I just wanted to make sure that you had it set to the proper region.Yes. Does that make a difference?
I installed the trial anydvd and clone dvd but when I inserted the a dvd it would not play. I then unisntalled anydvd and clone dvd but now everytime I insert a dvd, they do not work. I have windows xp can anyone help me?
I looked at the thread http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=792 but I don't know what a IDE/SATA Busmaster driver is?
1) Did the discs play before you ever installed Slysoft products?
If not, then this isn't an Anydvd issue.
2) I wouldn't expect Region 1 discs to play in a Region 2 drive--unless Anydvd was running.
The region 2 discs worked perfectly before I installed any slysoft products. I tried both region 1 and 2 discs while anyDVD was running but they did not work. After uninstalling anyDVD and cloneDVD, I tried the region 2 discs but they did not work.

OK I've done both of those things but I still can't play DVDs. And I did install anyDVD from http://www.slysoft.com/download.html
Since I've uninstalled the program, to I need to reinstall it to play DVDs normally?

DVDs shouldn't even be region protected, that is BS.
Probably true.I think region protection is thier way to market a DVD for $0.28 in a third world country, and $14.99 in the US for the same DVD
Kinda like the way a 2L bottle of Coke costs $1.39 in McAllen TX, and $0.10 over the border in Mexico.
