Lads has anyone else had trouble with the smartreader program with Vista?

It detects the smartreader ok on my lappy but when I hit apply after setting to Dreambox mode it did not save the change. At first I didnt realise that this was not happening and thought I had omitted something else during setup.

Overclocked it bit by bit and now running at 6.86 and the chip is a lot cooler than when in the internal of the dreambox or the sky box. Hello mate, I´m new on the Forum, found it googeling about the same Problem, DM800+Smargo+TotalTV (new NDS Card, works on 3.3V) I spend the last few days searching for Help and I found your Thread. I have a TotalTV NDS Card, with the same Problem, the Card works only with 3.3V and I´ve nearly destroy the Card after 5sec in the internal reader of DM500plus. Now i have order a DM800 and a Smargo reader to try this out. Are you 100% positive that the Smargo reader has a '3.3 or 5v auto detected' mode??? I never heard about this before, you are the only one who posted that info about Smargo. Thanks and Cheers.
