I INSTALLED THIS CARD INTO A NEW SYSTEM AND IT WORKED GREAT... WITH A NEC MULTISYNC A500 MONITOR.
NOW THAT A CUSTOMER HAS TAKEN THIS SYSTEM HOME..
HE HOOKED IT UP TO HIS 4 YEAR OLD GATEWAY MONITOR AND IT WILL ONLY START IN SAFEMODE (WINME).. WE CHECKED THE DRIVERS FOR THE SAVAGE CARD -O'K...
WE DELETED THE NEC MONITOR OUT OF THE DEVICE MANAGER ALONG WITH HIS GATEWAY MONITOR... AND IT STILL GOES INTO SAFEMODE????

Try the following. It is what I have found works once the video settings have been rejected.

1. Boot into safe mode.
Set display properties to the default 640*480 16 color.

2. Re-boot.
The PC should boot into normal mode.
Go into diplay properties;
Verify that the monitor is detected properly.
Manually change it if needed.
Re-Boot if required.
Adjust display properties as desired.

If the system balks at the above, re-install the Savage drivers.

For this problem, you must go in safe mode and make sure that the system is running in standard VGA. Then restart computer and install the driver. Reboot computer at the end.

I have come across this problem twice.
First time in a home built system, after tracing back what the customer did I found that he added mismatched ram into the system and would not read the video card for some reason. After removing one of the boards it worked perfectly.
