Go Figure...

I have four supposedly identical HP DC5100 sff computers... two work fine with OD 6.9 and Directx and two do not. I suppose it's time to D/L the 550) meg sdk?

Success! Thanks!

Even got it to work on the Dell SC1420 server running Server 2003 and a very basic graphics board. Again, it took the SDK - in this case, Format 1 worked.

An added bonus of Directx (which I think has been mentioned before) is that the graphics now show up on a 'logmein' screen - and the screen refresh is faster.
