My pc tells me that I can change the region on my PC's dvd player/recored 4 times only. Is there any way of getting an unlimited numbver of changes? Or is there a way of folling the pc??

I think this is hardwired into the DVD player itself so don't mess about with it. As far as I know there isn't any way round this at all - even putting that same DVD player in a different PC will mean that it's still scunnered if you change it more than the 4 times.
BUT one other way round it is to use a prog called AnyDVD which will negate the need for you to change regions. This will effectively make any DVD that you put in there region free and save you having to change the region at all.

*phew*
You can update the firmware, to make them region free.

One such site that seems to offer it:
