RCModeler:

Blackbird just gave you the answer that GP and KE did not.

I had your symptoms almost exactly, however I did get a response from both GP and KE, almost word-for-word the same:

"Upgrade your video driver."

Couldn't because I already had the latest drivers, both Gates' Special (Microsoft) and Diamond, the board mfgr.

Finally gave up on the Diamond Savage4 and got the NVidia RIVA TNT2 64Pro board.

Everything now works as nicely as could be desired. Even the 3d graphics. And I no longer have to reboot after running G2/Interlink. You forgot to mention that.

This board also has an NTSC video out jack, so all the people in the world can crowd around an ordinary TV and watch me land at -6" altitude.

And it cost right at $80.

Get G2 - it's great, others don't pay their freight.

Bill.
