As I understand it the regions are builtin the DVD player, not Windows XP. Actually the regions refer to where the DVD was bought not where it is being played. If you have a DVD and it plays here on a specific PC it will play everywhere. Generally regions are set through DVD software i.e WinDVD, and saved in the DVD firmware. Also you can only change regions 4, or so says Sony when I bought a DVD for one of my PCs.
Well I have seen what you said in one of the forums but the web page that I mentioned it before, indicates that In order for a DVD movie to play in another region, the region setting of the DVD movie must match that of 3 region settings i.e (1- RPC-2 DVD-ROM drive 2-Hardware/Software DVD player such as WinDVD 3-internal region settings of the operating system). This information located under the Basics on that web page.

So I am confused now which one is correct.
