FAQ #2.14:

I have a FlashPoint™ framegrabber and when I start my computer, Windows freezes when loading. My computer boots up normally when I remove the framegrabber.

Solution:

The freezing is caused by multiple display adapters being loaded on boot-up. In most cases When using a FlashPoint™ framegrabber, you will need to disable or remove additional video adapters, including any built-in display adapters and remote desktop sharing (e.g. Microsoft SMS). You can remove the board to start Windows or enter Windows in Safe Mode. Then disable the display adapters from the Device Manager - make sure you leave the S3 Savage adapter enabled (this is the FlashPoint board's display adapter). Afterwards, shut down the computer and reinsert the framegrabber, if you removed the board. Next you will need to load the drivers for the framegrabber and run the FlashPoint setup software - see the framegrabber's installation manual for instructions on how to do this.
