No problem, sorry they didn't help. At this point I'm not sure what to tell you. It sounds like the drivers for the controller are loaded okay. There is one other time I know of that I've seen someone having problems with the KE errors.... That's when they first install G2 and it tries to verify the hardware key and the disc. It has to do with the copy protection on the disc. Basically what happens is this, if you install G2 from a "normal" CD-ROM drive or a CD-r drive, when the G2 first starts up it looks for a "bad" place on the disc. (That was put there on purpose of course). A normal CD-Rom or CD-R/W will return a specific type of error and the game goes ahead and finishes loading / works, whatever... However, if since the first install of the game, you've upgraded your CD-ROM to either a DVD-R/W OR a combo CD-Rom / DVD reader drive, (basically anything that will read a DVD), then the error that gets returned is slightly different. This keeps G2 from running and results in the KE errors... If that's what is happening, the ONLY solution i've seen in any of the forums is to add a regular CD-Rom back into the computer and install G2 from it.
