Is this a fairly new DVD drive ? It comes up as a 12x. If you are using at least a P2-350 or above, you don't need a DVD decoder card. What you need is WinDVD (my favorite), PowerDVD or a different DVD playing software. Can you post your system specs and what OS you are using ?

Do what Nacar Fool said and get rid of the decoder card and pick up WinDVD or something like it and you should be good to go.

The ATI card should have come with a software DVD player. Available from ATI HERE

*Edit* It might be a problem due to the "uninstalled" silver handle.

use the original ati cd that came with the card. it will also ask for the numbers on the front side of the cd, so write those down before you insert the cd.

well then your screwed using ATI DVD player off of their site cause you need the CD to use it and a serial off of the CD. Get WinDVD or Power DVD and that is all you should need.
