John,
You are right, but I have found, like many things with windows and computers,
there are multiple approaches. I ended up putting
both of the CDs on [Cable Select] base on one tutorial. Another tutorial
suggested as you did. The two CDs are on the same IDE,
more or less in a line as I view. I put the enclosed three wire prong from the
DVD to the sound card.
The case is back on and the software has been installed. I am getting ready to
try and view and DVD movie on the monitor, then
step through other things that might have to be done,
settings, whatever "region code" with a limit of four times only, etc.
Thanks,

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
