MSI Media Center Deluxe 2 Problem - Urgent!

i've just got my new fx5600 vtdr graphics card and when i installed MSI Media Center Deluxe 2 under windows xp including the latest patch available, all the text parts in the software are presented with rectangles.
now because i cannot read anything, i cannot use the program !
i use windows xp pro english version with local settings Turkey - Turkish, and the MSI Media Center Deluxe 2 seems to have Turkish support.
I tried to change the language of the program from Turkish which it automatically chooses to English but i coul not achieve.
How can i change user interface language of the program to English or how can i fix the problem ?

does anybody have an idea to fix this ?

MSI Media Center Deluxe III !!! Crash all time..

Hi
MSI Media Center Deluxe III keeps crashing. Is there any fix to this problem yet. All seams to have this problem.
I run XP Home SP1 with all live updates done. My Mega 865 only run MSI Media Center Deluxe III utility, since i only wish to install what i wish to use.
The MEGA 865 was bought due i wanted a pc/radio/cd combination. But since MSI Media Center Deluxe III will not start due crash when i starts.. The media machine is useless for me.
I hope MSI can give us an update so this will work. Also if this program will not work with some other software, give us a list :hypecrite:

After several attempts at getting my HTPC to function consistently....it became obvious......disable Media Centre III and install software that is functional and supported....with authors that listen to your suggestions and problems.
Here is what I did and I now have what I believe is a fully functional and integrated HTPC.
Install either MyHTPC (free) or Meedio (commercial version)
I use Meedio to do the following
Play movies from my Maxtor external 250GB hard drive using Bsplayer - movies are catalogued and cover art viewable (used DVD Profiler to maintain library)
Play Music from my internal 200GB seagate drive - music collection catalogued including covers etc
Play TV using Chris-TV. tv@anywhere also sucks so I do not use the supplied software and I have thrown away the tv@anywhere remote control. (Now using Streamzap remote) Chris-TV has much better tuning capabilities and works well with the streamzap remote.
Play DVD using the MSI DVD Player (using PowerDVD ) - note bsplayer also works well but i prefer the PowerDVD skins/interface
Play radio using MSI radio (yes I did keep some msi software) as it worked and it is not important enough for me to be bothered with anything easier to use
Play CD using the MSI CD player (using WMP9)
Call up Internet weather & Radar (Australian Weather only)
Launch internet browser
Play/Display pictures (digital camera snaps) from the home network (pictures are stored on separate PC)
Control home automation - Motorised screen up/down, theatre lights up/down/on/off, Seat lights on/off, projector on/off etc
To get this working seamlessly with one remote control - I use the streamzap remote.....everything mentioned above works flawlessly with this remote so I have also thrown the MSI supplied remote in the garbage.
I now have Meedio in my start-up instead of media centre III and my remote has a macro button that can also launch it. I have a standby macro on the remote that puts the mega 865 to sleep but I still have to manually wake it up (ie touch it)
The litmus test to all of this was to hand the remote to my wife's blonde friend and asked her to play a certain movie on the projector. The HTPC was sight unseen to her before trying this and she was able to (using the remote) navigate her way to the movie through the various features of the HTPC without me having to show her how. And not once did it stop/stall/freeze/reboot/go slow.
Happy to share in the details of how to get this all running to get the best out of the Mega 865.

MSI Media Center Deluxe Software!!

I'm as I can't figure out how to manually adjust the tv tuning within the MSI Media Center on a 180 I've built for a friend. Is there a way? I know it's a crap suite but I want the end user to be able to use it straight away.
Cheers in advance for any help.

So do I, I don't find any way to tune TV channels, only a crappy autosearch which forget 2 channels and create one which doesn't exist!
If anyone find the tip (windows registry or anything else) please post it!
Relish you may give a try to mediaportal ;-)

New patch for MSI Media Center Deluxe II

all-
forgive if this has been posted before, but there is a new patch for the MCD II. it upgrades it revision 3. i will try it out tonight when i get back from my LSAT class.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=447%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&NAME=MS-8912
i wish MSI would make it easier to find or notify somewhere on the website about these patches. also it would be nice to read what exactly these patches fix.
currently the only issues i have with MCD II is the slideshow doesn't work for My Pictures, and you can't stop a video file in the middle and switch to another entity- say TV, DVD, or even music without have the sound in the video file continue onwards.
not sure if i should uninstall current patch to install 2nd patch, but will try all combinations to see which one works.

what a waste of 18 MB. the update did not fix anything at all. the slideshow bug is still there, as is the video file sounds.
i did a clean uninstall of the previous version, and installed from the CD, then applied the patch. no difference.
did a clean install from CD, applied patch 1, then applied patch 2. no difference.
worse of all, the program, when exited, does not switch the monitor refresh rate back to what it was before. (this was fixed from the previous patch).
but i won't discourage those who had issues with the first patch not to use the second patch- maybe it will fix mcd2 for them. for i had no real problems with the 1st patch.

[GeForceFX] White bar when play vids in MSI Media Center Deluxe II

Hi everyone, im having problems when play vids in the msi mediacenter deluxe II, i download the patch and download new drivers but still the prob, and is wierd becouse in some vids doesnt appears and in other appers more wide than others, Someone know how fixed.

Just got off the phone with my local supplier and apparently this card is MONO only. This means that when you set it up go to the area where you can select audio type and choose MONO then when you switch channels everything will work properly.
Pretty cheap eh? I have another TV tuner card that I bought about 1 year ago from Hauppage and let me tell you that card rocks! I never had any issues with it and the TV broadcast is in dbx stereo. It even includes a neat remote and FM stereo. The TV@nywhere unit has a LOOOONG way to go before it's up to par with other units. :D

MSI Media Center Deluxe II

"The MSI thingy plugged in the back of my comp, the one with the receiver and s-video in + out stuff..."
It doesn't seem to do anything when i press buttons on the controller, or plug something in the s-video in outlet, it's like it's completely ignoring this piece of hardware, i checked WINDConfig.exe to make sure i had the right controller picked, and I did, any suggestions? I tried loading "WINDConfig.HLP" but it wasn't found, then i searched the CD I installed the program with, and it wasn't on there either!

MSI media center deluxe 2

K, I used this program to transfer my video from my old camera to my computer, I had no problem since I downloaded the last version of this program. I couldn't get back in the tv section where i could watch and rcord my videos. I tryed to uninstal the new version and reinstal the old version, didn't work. What am I suppose to do ? Buy a TV-tunner or TV everywhere ? (I don't want to)
If you can help

Media Center Deluxe II prototype software?

Hi,
A few days ago I got the idea to build a media center PC. After scanning the market I decided to buy the MSI FX5600FX-VTD128 VGA board.
Part of my motivation for choosing this product was the included remote controller and MSI Media Center Deluxe II software.
Now after having installed this software and played with it for a short time, my worst fear was confirmed. Yet again a piece of poorly designed software. Crashes, non intuitive user interface, lack of compatibility with some of my video files and lack of configurability were my first findings after only a few minutes of use. And what a horrible remote controller??? I can't figure out why I need that text label saying "MSI Foreign Language Machine". Next to the label are two buttons for selecting FM and DVD. Can anybody explain why I need these two extra buttons when I already have the FM and DVD buttons further down on the remote controller layout???
Yes, I can go on and on with what I experienced during minutes of use. Everything is just not well thought about and reminds me about what I see in very early stages of consumer electronics R&D (I work in that business).
The Media Center Deluxe II is a piece of prototype software done without professionally skilled people in user interface design.
But I liked the idea of this bundled software, so please hire a professional UI designer, a professional ID company and implement some quality code...before releasing version III. And let people upgrade for free.
About the FX5600XT display board: IT'S GREAT :-)
Regards,
Pete

Mega 865 - MSI Media Center SLOW on Music mode (CD audio)

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the Mega 865, when I'm playing CD audio with the Home Theatre / MSI Media Center Deluxe II application. It seems to VERY, extremely slow. It takes about 30 seconds for the application to respond when I directly click into the application, and it does not hardly ever respond to the remote. When I try to close the application once it has begun playing an audio CD, it does not respond very well, usually not within 30 seconds. When I open the task manager, the CPU usage is between 90 & 100 percent. I looked at the system requirements for this application, and the computer has over twice the requirements, so that is not the problem at all. I tried updating to DirectX 9.0b and Media Player 9, but that did not seem to improve performance. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Phillip

This email from tech support may be useful. I'm not sure if this is a new version or not. Its a 110MB download, so hopefully it will help. I'm downloading it now. I'll let you all know if this works (in case someone else has this problem, and they are searching through the posts):

I didn\'t think that I needed an MSI motherboard to install Media Center - just the MSI video card? What I do wonder as well is that, since all of the first FX5900 Ultra cards are actually manufactured by Nvidia for companies such as MSI, is this why the software doesn\'t recognise the card as an \"MSI\" one? If so, I guess I\'m sunk...
Thanks,
Karen
I wouldn't know on that as I have a MSI board and vid card.I do have a media center from nVidia.If you update the drivers from nVidia, you should get theirs.Unless I am thinking of a different media center.
EDIT I was thinking of a different media center,my apologies.MSI's looks neat, I want one as well.

Media Center Deluxe (pc mega 180) ???

Hello everyone,
Do you know where you can have a update of Media Center Deluxe? Because at the moment I use one, but it is so slow and full with bugs !!!

there is probably more chance of elvis presley drawing your winning numbers on the lottery and then sending you on holiday to mars with kurt cobain and jimi hendrix
if you really need an upgrade to media centre, Intervideo have just released Home Theater 2.5, but you'll have to pay for it

MEGA 180: Full Screen Media Center Deluxe III

Hi,
When I am running Media Center Deluxe III in full screen I still can see to the right and bottom of the window some of the background picture of my desktop . This is very annoying when I am watching a DVD om my TV. I don't want to see a glimps of Ireland watching Star Trek . Does anyone has the same problem? Did you find a solution to make it really full screen?
Regards,
Rene

There was one really appealing suggestion regarding the MSI Media Center III, but unfortunately it did not intend to fix the MMC itself.
It was rather about making you to feel better about what's going on
