DVD not working...Error message inside----->

[T-Bird]

Ok gurus, get this. I have a Toshiba 1402 12X DVD-ROM drive that I installed when I put my system together. The CD-ROM part works great, however, I installed a PowerDVD program, and it installed fine. After the install, it asked me if I wanted to run a diagnotic check. Well, this is what came up in the dialog box.

"Your motherboard is not using a Intel 82371xB series of chipset. We strongly recommend you to install the IDE or bus master driver that comes with your motherboard and enable the DMA mode for accessing your DVD-ROM. Not enabling DMA mode or using an improper IDE driver might either degrade the performance of PowerDVD or even prevent PowerDVD from properly executing. For more information about the IDE driver, please visit the web site of your motherboard vendor."

I have the DVD-ROM drive set to DMA, and it still shows the same thing. Do I need a decoder or something? New video card(better)?

System as follows:AMD Athlon 800@902mhz
Toshiba 12X 1402 DVD-ROM
128 PC-133 RAM
20G 7200 HD
2X agp 16MB video card.
Epox 8KTA-3 motherboard.
Windows ME

Chris, 3 people have told me it was because my Savage 4 16MB video card has no dvd support at all. I ordered a radeon 32MB DDR card last week, well see if it helps, if not, I am dumping Windows ME anyway, and re-installing 98SE.
