I should have mentioned that I did try the test CD, and as you predict it
failed as well.  I wasn't able to glean anything from the text streaming by,
but then I don't know what to look for.  Is there some way to capture the
text aside from a camcorder?

Maybe I'll try on another desktop.  I've been working with Xen on a laptop
for a while and never had a problem; this is my first time using it on a
desktop.
