DVD playing NTSC instead of PAL

System is XP Pro.
If I put a PAL video in either of my 2 drives they play back in NTSC mode
(colours all wrong).
I have selected the regions on both drives to region 2 but problem remains.
This also happens when I use Windows Media Player to view DVD's.
Any ideas please.
Thanks

Is your drive capable of playing PAL DVDs ?? I would think not.

Fixed it myself.
The problem was the driver CD that came with my Nvidia display card.
I removed all the files installed from the installation CD and left just the
Microsoft nvidia drivers on my system.
I think the driver CD was made for the USA market.
