AudioVision Display: "X" Displayed Through the Video INIT

I'm running the AudioVision Display on a Centris 660/AV. Upon startup my computer loads with an "X" through the video init and when I select the Video Control Panel it indicates that the control panels are not loaded. Additionally, when I select the Sound Control Panel the computer will freeze or give a system error.
The AudioVision software provides integrated sound and video capabilities that allow you to take advantage of multi-media and voice technology applications.

This monitor requires a system extension, also known as an "INIT" in the system folder. During the startup process of the Macintosh computers, these extensions display icons at the bottom of the screen as they are loaded.

When an "X"is displayed through the extension icon during this process, the extension has not loaded properly and will not function.

The following procedure should ensure proper loading of the Audio Vision extension.

Note: Your Macintosh system software must be System 7.0.1 or later in order
     to use the Apple AudioVision software.
     The keyboard cable must be plugged into the AudioVision display, and not
     the back of the computer.  When it's not plugged into the monitor, you
     will still see the X through the INIT startup.  The INIT looks to the
     monitor's ADB port for one of the sense pins on the ADB cable, doesn't
     see it and 'X's it out.


Install the Software
--------------------


1) Insert the AudioVision Installer disk into the internal floppy disk
  drive.


2) Click the Installer icon.

3) Make sure that the hard disk indicated in the dialog box is the one on
  which you want to install AudioVision software.


4) Click the Install button.

5) After finishing the installation, restarting your computer is the
  only choice you have. When you restart the red X still appears through
  the video INIT.


6) Shut down your computer AND turn off the monitor for at least 30 seconds
  before restarting.


7) If you do not perform step 6, upon startup you will continue to see
  an icon on your monitor with an "X" through it. This icon indicates
  that the video control panel is not loaded and the AudioVision Display
  software is not be activated.
