It's still the same - you either have to locate a region-free firmware
for your laptops DVD drive (and take the associated risks with installing
the firmware) or use a software patcher - these tend to be shareware and
I've no personal experience of them, but "AnyDVD" & "DVD Region CSS
Free" are couple I've seen around.
I'd take the firmware route, if possible, though you would still need
something like "DVDGenie" (freeware) to eliminate your Windows XP and
software players region protection.
