Uh, Steve.....
In order to work, the card and software need to generate an OVERLAY
It can only do this if plugged into a ZV slot.
I have no idea what you did, but you will find, if you do get a DVD drive,
it will NOT play properly when plugged into the top slot...
AND, you CAN NOT use WinDVD or ANYTHING ELSE to access the Margi drivers -
you can ONLY use the Margi Navigator. Period.
