DESCRIPTION:  This fix is only for a small number of Presario 5110 units 
in Latin America that are unable to play DVD discs.  When the affected 
units are first taken out of the box and turned on, Windows 98 configures 
the DVD drive as a "Region 1" drive, which incorrectly indicates that 
it is for the US and Canada.  The DVD Player software is correctly set to 
decode "Region 4" (Latin America) DVD discs.  As a result, neither Region 4 
nor Region 1 DVD discs can be played.

This utility allows the user to reconfigure the region for Windows 98.  
So the user should use this utility to reconfigure the DVD drive for 
Region 4.

HOW TO USE:

1. Copy the SP8403.EXE file to a directory on your hard drive or run it 
directly from the distribution diskette.

2. Execute SP8403.EXE and follow the on-screen instructions (written in 
Spanish) to install and configure all of the necessary software. 

3. You will need to insert a Region 4 DVD movie disc when prompted. 
Wait for about 30 seconds or until the DVD Drive light is off.  Then click
Acceptar.

4. Verify that Region 4 is selected and click Aceptar. 

5. You should then see the message La regi?n se a cambiado satisfactoriamente
a Region 4. Click Aceptar.
