What graphics card does your system have? Most likely you are trying to use an unsupported/untested graphics card or out of date drivers. We have posted a list of supported/tested graphics cards here (http://12.156.2.54/forums/showthread.php?t=9216).

I'm using an S3 ProSavage 3D 32MB, and it passes all the DX9 tests under Technical Support in G3 launcher. Also, when I start G3, the USB light on the InterLinkPlus controller stops flashing and remains on until I reboot.

Hope this helps...

As you probably noticed, the S3 ProSavage 3D card is not on the supported/tested cards list I provided above. Chances are it is probably an integraded card, possibly even in a laptop system. This makes it even more difficult for us to test.

That said, I am going to go out on a limb and say that even if it did work, you would most likely be dissatisfied with the performance you would get with that graphics card.

As for the DX9 tests, all they do is verify that DirectX is installed and communicating with your graphics card. These tests do not provide any information about what DirectX features are supported by the card/driver.

Thx for the info, looks like I'm in the market for a video card! You're right, it's an integrated card, and I don't have an AGP slot, only one PCI slot available.

That said, what's the recommended PCI video card?

Thx again...
