Might be a daft question, but you mention that you can play DVD's from Thailand etc. Is this a Region 2 DVD you are trying to play? Have you perhaps locked your DVD player on your PC on another Region. Most PC's now with Windows XP will give you up to 4 chances to define your region on your DVD player. You can find this out on the Properties of your DVD player in My computer. There will be a tab which will tell you what region the DVD player is on, and how many chances you have until you lock the region. check this out if you have locked the region on your DVd player, and its on a region other than the one you want it to be on then there will be nothing you can do to change this, even if you try using a region killer, or reinstalling windows.

Have a look at this and see if this helps . Good Luck.
