I see nothing wrong. Perhaps a little explanation won't hurt. Also post a log file

Also I have region of this disc and it works fine.

The following appears on AnyDVD HD as in my first post:

Note: automatic detection of region code not possible with this disc.

and then in the player the following messages appears:

"This disc cannot be played because the player setup specifies a different region code"

I have my region code set to region 1 (USA) and cannot change it as it has been locked that way. The disc is for region B.

This is the first time AnyDVD has not worked for me.

you need to set anydvd to the region of the DISC, not you're region. If you're playing back straight from the disc, make sure you DONT resume but start from the beginning

That's not an error message, it's just an information.

The region code 1 you have set for your drive affects only DVDs and has nothing to do with Blu-rays.

You didn't activate region code removal in AnyDVD's settings, so the region check remains active on your disc.
