Install the decoder card into a different PCI slot and make certain it is
not sharing an IRQ with another device.  If you have an AGP video card, do
not install the decoder card into PCI slot 1.

In addition, change the memory range for the decoder card in the Device
Manager to D1000000-D10FFFFF

Hi -

     Just happened to see this and realized that I had no idea that a DVD
decoder card requires it's own irq. I'd assumed it was more along the lines of a
voodoo II and didn't require one. Since I'm in the market for an item like this,
can anyone confirm that it does need it's 'own' irq? Is it at least sharable if
it does? thanks,

         sorry for jumping this bandwagon,

                Mick

My dxr3 is sharing IRQ9 with my AGP TNT2 card AND is in PCI slot 1

Works fine allthough Susan recommends against doing this.

Why is that Susan?

Maybe I'm not susan, but the reason is that you are lucky, because  99 times
of 100 it doesn't work. The card needs it's own IRQ why it does work with
your system, well beats me!
