My windows media player is set to region 2, and I want to play a region 1 DVD. But I have no region changes left. What can I do?

I have Windows Media Player and Inter Video WinDVD, but neither program will play the disk. What should I do? I downloaded a free trial of DVD X Player, which has a region-free play option but it keeps freezing (and even if it didn’t, it is only a solution for 14 days).
