It is my understanding that the region code is stored in the drive hardware/firmware, so reinstalling the driver won't help. Going to About This Mac and More Info should show you the region code for your DVD player and how many changes you have left. It's probably under the ATA section.

Can my iBook's DVD play DVDs from any world zone?


The answer is yes, but if you also want to play US zoned discs, you have to reset the DVD player. You can do this only a limited number of times (5) per machine. Yes, it's a problem, but if you can completely remove all the DVD player's components from your computer after using up all the changes (something I've never tried to do), it may be possible to restart the clock by reloading the player engine. There's probably some hidden files that only the superuser can delete, though. 'Nuff said.
