Help with GF4 TI4200

Everytime I start window xp the message vbios.dll failed messages appear, and If i go into display and select those 2 additional MSI options it get an error and the thing closes... any solution to this?
My cpu is
P4 2.53
Asus P4S8X
Samsung 512 DDR
MSI GF4 TI4200 128mb 8x AGP

FFSabin,
Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
Quote
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]

"NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
Take Care,
Richard

  • Help with G4 ti4200 problems.

    Hello all, thanks in advance for any help!
    I recently got a new system and have installed a MSI geforce4 ti4200 8x agp into it.  System was a fresh install, and had no problems for 2 days.  Now when I launch a game using Open GL or Direct 3D my whole PC reboots itself (counter-strike, diablo ii, ghost recon).  Nothing AT ALL has been changed in the 2 says since I installed the card/loaded the OS.  Im starting to run out of ideas, and I kinda want a game fix :(
    Systems Specs:
    Soyo Dragon KV7 mobo
    AMD XP 1400
    Kensington 256 MB RAM
    Windows XP Pro
    Ive tried the default drivers sent with the card (3.1.0.0 i think, ive tried the drivers from nvidia, 44.03)
    The only thing which is bothering me is the IRQ's,  IRQ 10 is being shared between my integrated soundcard, my integrated NIC, and the video card.  It wont let me change the settings, and I kinda need the Nic and sound for games
    Thanks again, post if you have ANY idea about this! ?(

    I have disabled the nic and the soundcard and im still rebooting, what the heck is apic and mps?

  • Resolution problem with GF4 Ti4200-TD 128MB DDR

    I am having problems when I switch my display resolution to 640x480x32.
    It also affects any application which runs in the affected resolution.
    I tried re-installing the VGA card in its AGP slot and its drivers after removing my previous VGA card and its drivers.
    The driver that i am using for the MSI VGA card, which is 4.13.2890, is already updated via LiveUpdate, which is now 4.1.3.3000
    My system consists of:
      AOpen AX34 Pro Motherboard
      AGP 2X / 4X
      Intel Pentium III 800MHz
      512MB RAM
      Direct X 8.1
      Windows Me
    Looking forward to you reply. Thank you for your help.

    izel,
    Get the latest Via 4in1 Drivers and try running the Card in AGP 2X.  Do not expect much from the Via Apollo Pro 133 Chipset.  Lots of problems with the GART.

  • Video Capture with GF4 TI4200

    I seem to be haveing a few problems with video capture on my PC.
    I am using my TI4200 TV-in function from my VCR/CC to capture footage. I am also using the latest WDM drivers from the nvidia site.
    However everyso often i will get an annoying white block straight accross the screen and i try to recapture but it will happen, maybe somewhere else! what can i do?
    I have used ULEAD and WIN MM and IV WinPro to try this!  :(

    Installing the OLDER video capture drivers seems to have corrected my problem with the white bar.
    http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/23.11/WDM_1.08.exe
    When I tried the NEW video capture listed on the MSI pages for the 8X agp the HUE on the capture was WAY OFF. No Blues were present AND I still had the WHITE BAR syndrome.
    Why does the OLDER capture driver work and not the NEW ones. Seems like I am taking steps backwards to get a NEW video card to function properly. I am running Win2K with an AMD 2400, Gigabyte mb, 1gig ram, 1st hd 80 gig, 2nd hd, 120 gig, yamaha cdrw, 4x dvd burner.

  • GF4 Ti4200 and Win98 - HELP ! serious problem with drivers !

    Ok, I could successfully install the MSI GF4 Ti4200 128 in Windows 2000, no problem there, everything is working.
    I then installed Win98 as a second OS, I launch the drivers setup (from MSI CD) and I reboot as wanted by the setup. The PC reboots, the Win98 screen appears and suddenly...it reboots by itself, no message, no black screen.  I tried with other driver versions from NVidia and this time, I get a freezed black screen after the Win98 screen, I must press reset.  I had to enter the safe-mode to remove the drivers and get the usual 640x480 in 16 colors.
    What's going on ? I tried to change my bios parameters, disable the virus detection option, everything that could make problems ... but no success. I also tried a second Win98 installation, with DX 8.1 installed before the drivers but still the same problem.
    My system is AMD XP 2100 with Asus A7V333 motherboard - 300W for power, is the problem caused by some VIA chips ? I tried with their 4-1 drivers and stuff on the CD but it really doesn't want to work.
    Please help...

    after searching a bit on the forum, I found a thread where someone pointed out a problem caused by memory, greets to him.  I have 1 gb of ram and I added these lines to my system.ini :
    [vcache]
    MinFileCache=65536
    MaxFileCache=131072
    ChunkSize=2048
    NameCache=4096
    DirectoryCache=96
    ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1
    Values may change with more/less memory...And now it works perfectly in Win98.

  • GF4 TI4200 BSOD Dilemma - Please help!

    Greetings gurus and fellow frustrated gamers.  I purchased MSI's GF4 TI4200 about a year ago and have been putting up with a problem I thought was related to other components for a long time.  Every single 3D graphics game I play in windows XP will eventually and utterly crash with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which relates always to the nv4_dsp.dll file which is Nvidia's driver.  I have tried 12 drivers...MSI/NVidia/experimental with no change.  With help from the folks on the forum I replaced the PSU with an Antec 400w with no change.  I have tried my old Geforce2 MX400 with the same problem.  I have reformatted the computer 8 times and removed every single additional component except what was required to test my problem.  I just purchased Star Wars Galaxies and am now crashing 8-15 times a day.  I generally go 20-30 minutes between crashes.  This is no longer acceptable.  I have received this crash on Warcraft III, WC3:TFT, Neverwinter Nights, SWG, Black & White, and many more.
    I have found through search engines that this has something to do with some Windows XP systems and Nvidia drivers and is an issue that does not have a fix.  I am hoping that you can offer something that I can do to fix this problem.
    Before you ask...this has nothing to do with any other component in my computer.  It is not heat, the psu, the motherboard, the memory, the hard drives, etc.  I have replaced every single piece in this computer and it still occurs.  Check out this link for an example of someone else with the same problem: Similar Problem or use a search engine and type: nv4 blue screen.  You will see what I mean...this is happening to tons of people.
    My question: Is there a fix?
    Any help is most appreciated.  If there is not a fix, ATI is my only direction I can take.

    Richard,
    Well you are right about it not using IRQ 5, however, it is not conflicting with any other IRQ that I can see.  The view under resources by connection reads:
    (ISA) 0 System Timer
    (ISA) 3 Communications Port(COM2)
    (ISA) 4 Communications Port(COM1)
    (ISA) 6 Standard floppy disk controller

    (ISA)11 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    (ISA)13 Numeric data processor
    (ISA)14 Primary IDE Channel
    (ISA)15 Secondary IDE Channel

    Please advise.  Thank you for the response.

  • HELP! severe probs w/ gf4 ti4200 128 8x

    it seems that just about every game I have installed on my new comp has had some video error.  quake 3 and return to castle wolfenstien had an array of dots on the screen.  and just about every other game i have installed (americas army, halo pc, etc) has frozen during a new game load and reset the comp.  i installed the latest drivers from nvidia, but it didnt help.  can anyone help??
    Running:
    P4 2.4Cghz w/ HT enabled
    Intel 865PERL MB
    512 SimpleTech DDR 400
    MSI GF4 TI4200 128 w/ 8x AGP + VIVO

    ok, i just went to best buy and bought an Antec 400 watt ps running 18a at 12v...AND IM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS!  a couple of games work at the lowest possible settings (quake 3, rtcw) and Halo works only in safe mode.  if i push the graphics any higher, they wont run.  Several other games (Americas Army) still wont run at all.  i am sure the vid card is the one with probs cause i have gotten a device error from it from some games.  this seems like a lost cause but if anyone could help it would be greatly appriciated.

  • 640x480 and above, capture with MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP

    could anyone successfully perform this operation ?
    The weird thing is that if I set a capture of something like 5 fps in VirtualDub and 640x480 (I tried with several codecs and thought that decreasing the fps would improve the bandwidth usage), it still doesn't want to capture anything -> 0 frames. The maximum I can get (15% frames lost) is 320x200 at 30 fps.  I tried to capture directly to memory as it's supposed to be very fast, no luck.
    Maybe my system is not monster enough, don't know....   ?(   Or could that be the card which is limited for this ?
    MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP - 1 gig RAM (DDR 333), Athlon XP 2100, IBM ICL35 120 GB - OS : W2K.
    WDM 1.16 from MSI-CD. I tried with WDM 1.08 too.

    your system is fine for this kind of job....
    i have no problem in capturing full pal (768x...) in 30 fps (using included wincoder and mpeg1 or mpeg2 codecs) 60% cpu load on duron @1380
    virtual bud will need somethong better then 1,3gh duron but i got no problems with 640x480 divx pro 5.02 25fps on my current sysetm (but the cpu load is high 75-90%) (0% frame lost)
    some motion codecs (mjpg) will need both fast cpu and fast hdd....
    uncompresed will produce so much data that even very fast hdd's will by to slow
    but it is in fact weird 15% frame lost on 320x200 is much to high.. what board are u using?? are the latest 4in1 drivers instaled (very important for w2k) by shure that agpx4 and bus mastering are on... are u using any other extensin cards (tv tuner, off board sound, ide, lan??) if yes try removing them

  • Overheating and Lock ups with MSI TI4200 128DDR

      This card seems to overheat and lock up during game play.
      Does anyone have a solution?
    My system:
    P4 1.8Ghz 512K
    Intel D845WNL
    512 Mb PC133
    SB Live 5.1
    MSI TI4200 128DDR
    WIN 98SE
    300W PSU in a standard P4 case
    No overclocking
    Currently I play games with the case open and an external fan blowing into it.
    This as fixed the problem.
    I looking for a permanent solution.
    Should I get a better PSU?
    ...or should I just get an ATI 9700 Pro

    From what you said your PSU is handling the load but having a dual fan PSU will help temps by maybe a degree or two.
    You may not have adequate ventilation and need to ad some fans to your case but that may be the straw that breaks the camels back if you are on the edge as far as adequate power is concerned.
    There are quite a few folks that run with the side covers off but you have to keep in mind the ambient temperature where the PC is being used in any case.
    So far my experience with GF4 cards is they inherently run hot and can raise the temp in your case several degrees. Nature of the beast.
    Bottom line, better cooling and airflow is paramount and take a look at the heatsink, it may have been mounted poorly...this happens with any manufacturer at times and I usually re-mount it with a thermal paste of my preference. Keep in mind you will probably void your warranty with the manufacturer should you need to return or RMA the product.

  • Slow gf4 Ti4200

    I'm having a problem with my gf4 Ti4200. It runs at slow framerates even at lower resolution and graphics during games. Ive tested with Nightfire and UT2003 and my friends PC with gf2 runs better. Its in 4x mode and ive been told about dma. whats dma?

    Im beginning to lose my patience with this machine. Im not very technical with a computer so i really need your help. Ive managed to pin point the problem with 3Dmark2001. The highpolygon test with 8 lights shows the same problem i have with direct3D games, a very stunted (unsmooth) movement and i get 9.0Mtriangles/sec (Not sure if thats good or bad).
    Ive looked at other threads, and one struck me as odd about installing a new mouse seemed to interfer with the video card. The link is here and its the third post down:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/...10433boardid=9
    It sounded like he was having the same problem as me, and i have recently installed a new mouse and keyboard but hadn't registered that this could be a problem.
    I was hoping i had an incorrect direct3D setting or something to do wiht multilights or multipolygons. Opengl works fine, its just the direct3D. Im struggling here. Can someone please help me.

  • Problem w/GF4 Ti4200 vtd-8x

    I had problems with my new MSI GF4 Ti4200 vtd-8x 128mb running on a 648 Max mobo. The mobo supports agp 8x but both riva tuner and display properties showed it running on agp 4x. I would really appreciate any help I can get.

    Try updating both mobo and VGA card drivers.
    Do clean un-installation before installing new VGA driver...

  • GF4 ti4200 and capturing DV

    I just got my GF4 Ti4200 8x yesterday and have had great success with everything except capturing digital video via my 1394 firewire card.  Previous the GF4, I had a GF2 ti that was able to capture video perfectly, but ever since I installed the GF4 I cannot capture video via the firewire controller, only the video in port on the card.  However I've noticed something interesting that makes me want to think it has something to do with the card:  I installed the Intervideo WinProducer that came with my card and it can capture digital video via the 1394 card without crashing like Premiere and the software that came with my camcorder; however when I try to play back the video it gives me that ugly blocky video with the logo and the scrolling subtitles that say my trial has expired  ?(  how can it be expired if I just bought it and entered the key on the cd?  Anyways, thanks for any help.

    You have 2 capture sources, you need the software to be able to allow you to select the one you want.
    You should try virtualdub, supposed to be good and it's free.

  • MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X tech question

    Hi everyone, I hope u can help me with this:
    I'm planning on buying a MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X (Video In) from the United States which uses the NTSC system for Video, however where I live we use the PAL system for Video. So my question is will I be able to use the Video In feature of the card ?( ?? Do these cards work using both video systems or are there different video versions of the card?
    Thanks in advance!

    bondock,
    It is my understanding that they will work with both systems. They do not make them market specific.

I played with sample rate but that didn't help.I tried my old gf2 mx400, and i didn"t have problems. I was reading threads and I realized that the problem may be in power supply. It's a bit old (about 2 years :-) ), iam not sure is it good if it is warm . This problem occurd just after the problem with HD (detection problems, messed HD name..), i checked IDE cable, it's good. 3d expirience is not shownig voltages and temepatures. Fuzzy logic 3 somtimes alerts that the temperature in chassis is 131C!! which is impossible. I sens lack of fps in games.
