How to change your computers region??

Question

OK...

I am trying to watch video on Hulu and AOL but it dosen't let me. It just gives me a message saying that this video is not available in your region. (I'm in the UK) I have tried changing my computers region in the control panel.

I have Vista Home if thats important. Please could you tell me how to get access to watch these videos!

Thank You!!!

Answer 1

go to "control panel" then click on "clock, language and region"

Answer 2

Assuming you are trying to watch this streamed over the internet I suspect the server delivering the content can tell from your computers IP address that you are not in a country permitted to download the stream so it will be blocked.

Answer 3

the reality is you cant change your region - the only way is to buy a computer made is the region you want it to be.  

Answer 4

The only thing that might work is to try and connect to the website through a proxy server with an IP address in a different country or region. The website could well be able to detect what you are doing and still block you, depending on the distribution rights of the content you are trying to view this may also be illegal.
