Driver Installation problems with mega 180

Can anyone help me out?
I am re-installing a Mega180 that I built 6 months ago, unfortunately, the original driver disk is damaged and I have downloaded the drivers from the MSI website.
for some reason both the PCI modem and wireless network card are now not recognised at all by windows XP. the wireless network drivers that I downloaded do not work either.
how can I reinstall these drivers and where can I get an original install disk from as my retailer says that they cannot get me one?
thx
Jon

How to contact MSI. they should be able to send you a new CD if you ask nicely
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=546&kind=4
did you download the wireless driver from here?
are you actually using the modem if you use the wireless network feature? if not you may as well just disable it in BIOS and save some system resources

Cd rom boot problems with MEGA 180

I recently recieved my MEGA 180 and have been unable to successfully install an OS because when I boot from CD, the computer freezes at various stages of installation. The point at which it freezes varies between the point at which the CD is initialized to anywhere in the windows xp setup process up untill the drive format. Occassionally the lockup coincides with an error copying a file, but this is not consistent. I have tried two different cd-rom drives as well as three different xp installation cds. Further I have run with 5 different sticks of ram (kingston and corsair). None of these changes have had any obvious effect.
Having read the warning labes regarding non MSI optical devices, I am tempted to think that may be the problem as I am not running on an MSI drive. However, the warning souned like it was about mechanical parts and thus I assume the ability of a drive to fit in the MEGA 180 case while opening and closing correctly.
I would appreciate any input you might have on this matter as I am finding this experience rather frustrating.

I had the exact same problem when upgrading from a 2100+ Palamino processor to a 2800+ Thoroghbred one. The screen had already dissappeared due to powering up with no monitor plugged in, so I tried a reinstall of Windows XP. It kept falling over randomly during the install process. I then swapper the CPU back and had no problems at all. I have since lapped the heatsink and reduced the FSB to 157MHz in the BIOS, and have not had a problem with the 2800+ CPU. I have not tried installing windows again, but feel this will be OK too.
My test is to run FujiFilm Snapshot Slideshow, which sends the CPU temp rocketting. I have found that when it goes above 70 C it starts getting unstable. I throttled the FSB back to 157MHz and it does not get to 70 C any more. In normal operation it never gets above 60 C, so I don't know why the slideshow takes so much CPU power

9171 driver installation problem with LV 8.5.1 and NIDAQ9.3

Hello,
I just bought an NI9171 chassis with a NI9477 DO board after checking the compatibility (driver, LV version). Everything seems to be ok, but I can't manage to get the right driver installed within NIDAQ 9.3. I tried it with NIDAQ 9.4. Here the driver was installed properly and I could do some tests in MAX, but my DAQmx LabVIEW library was completely deleted during the installation of 9.4...Re-intsllation of NIDAQ9.3 brought back the DAQmx library, but the driver is not working anymore. One thought is to copy the library somewhere else and install 9.4 again....but in case this would work, it should not be the correct way to solve the problem. Could anyone tell me, if there is something wrong with the 9.3 readme or suggest a solution for that problem? Unfortunatly I have no SSP anymore and can't get direct support by NI ;-(
Here you can find the readme:
http://download.ni.com/support/softlib//multifunction_daq/nidaqmx/9.3.0/readme.html#OS
Thanks for any hint!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Olli,
Sorry for the inconvenience, however DAQmx 9.3 does not support 9171. This is error in our documentation. It was first supported in 9.4. However I do have a workaround for you. It involves installing DAQmx 9.4/9.5's core components with DAQmx 9.3 LabVIEW support:
1) Uninstall all versions of DAQmx
2) Install DAQmx 9.3 Full and reboot
3) Run the DAQmx 9.4/9.5 installer
a. Select Custom then click Next
b. For "Application Development Support" select "Do not install this feature"
c. Click through the next few menus until you get to "Start Installation." Make sure that Application Development Support is NOT under the Upgrading section
d. Continue the install as normal and reboot.
5) The DAQmx palette should be in LabVIEW 8.5.1
Please let me know if you have any question. Again I apologize for the error.

I'm facing the same error message while install Siebel 8.0 on OEL. But before I had this ksh problem, it complains about disc space first, and I actually has plenty of disk space under the directory (it needs only 0.7 G and I have 17G free). Anybody has encountered such problem before?

Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

Hello Creative Users,
recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
Thanks
Rolf

Hi everyone,
as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
properties.
Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
Now you should be ok and able to install.
Regards
Rolf

MOVED: Installation Problems with PM8M2-V

This topic has been moved to Intel P4 & Celeron P4 based board.
Installation Problems with PM8M2-V

port 1. I did try it on port 2. The odd thing is that this mobo is the first that I have seen where SATA is not recognized in the BIOS setup.
I did solve the problem, though. I bought a Via chipset mobo from a different manufacturer. I was tired of spending hours on this project and the fact that MSI tech support told me that it was Microsoft's problem was no help. I didn't want to create a separate drive image of this one mobo. The fact is that MSi created a mobo that required loading additional drivers for SATA to be recognized- I have not worked with any other manufacturer who required additional drivers loaded to work with SATA (a drive standard).
The new mobo fired right up, recognized the SATA, and I was able to Sysprep the PC in no time. Case solved!

Problem with Mega Stick 1 Menus

I am facing a strange problem with Mega Stick 1.
I press the 'Jog Dial' menu button to access the menus. I do see all the sub menus but when I press the jog Dial again to go into the sub menu my Mega Stick takes me back to the mail menu. So basically I cannot go into any sub menu.
I upgraded the firmware of Mega Stick and the sub menus worked only once after the upgradation and after that the sub menues stopped working again.
Anyone has any clue what is wrong and how can I fix it???/

Come on guys please help me ... I am in trouble

Live! SB022x (or any OEM model) owners with driver installation problems ... [Help 'maybe' he

Hi
Problems to get 'drivers'/'driver updates' installed for your Li've! or other SB models on XP or W2k system?
If ctzapxx.exe method didn't work either for you, have you tried 'forced' driver installation yet? If not here is what you can do.
NOTE: THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK W/ ALL DRIVER PACKAGES, BECAUSE OF THE USED INSTALLER IS NOT THE SAME (ctcomp.dat is not available on those)
. download [url="http://members.aol.com/dvdking200/Pub/ctcomp.exe">this utility[/url]
2. download driver package (or installation ISO/rip) you want to install and extract it to your HD (you can also install Audigy X drivers for your Li've! card if you like)
3. run ctcomp.exe and point it to look from
- ..\Audio\Setup -folder, found as a subfolder in folder you extracted the ISO/rip
- 'main folder' (for. ex. AUD_EAX4DRV_0303) when you're installing driver update (data.cab must exist on that folder)
4. press Patch button
5. install your drivers by running setup.exe located
- at same ..\Audio\Setup -folder when setting up from extracted ISO
- at 'main' folder when you're installing driver update

The reason i said this should be a sticky is that these boards move so fast that its impossiable for new comers to keep up with threads that have AWESOME tips that may or may not help but how many of us have accually gone through every post in the last 60 days to try and find a fix? I know I have not, but in the end you need to try everything you can.
Something like this is not on the Creative FAQ data base so the only people to know about this possiable fix are the few who catch it in time.
In my experience there is ALWAYS more than way to do things and 0 ways to get it to work with 20 other methods to run it. Thats a lot of ways to do the one thing. So unless we have a huge data base with every possiable fix,method or forceiable way to do something then more and more people will get really upset that Creative offer no help.
Take the way Creative say to un-install drivers, man, this for the most part never works, so something like this may be the only way to get it to work for some people.
What I do is though, I copy a thread like this one and will pass it on to others if need be. Ofcause with all credit to the original poster and I never pass it off as my fix and/work.
I I like to cover every possiable aspect to do something. Ya know what i mean

Installation problems with Windows

Hi,
I have the windows 7 beta and have been trying to reinstall it on my boot camp partition, however the installation continually reports a corrupt CD. I know that the CD is not corrupt because i have successfully installed Win7 beta on a boot camp drive before and on other computers. I have even tried on VMware and had the same error. The things that strikes me the oddest problem is that it always has the error at the same point of the installation e.g. 97% of expanding files. I have also tried installing a working Vista OS on boot camp and WMware and still had the same error. This leads me to believe a problem with the iMac's SuperDrive. I have run tests using tech tool pro and drive genius and had no anomalies. Any further steps to diagnose or a solution would be helpful, thank you.

I don't know about using Windows 7 Beta with Boot Camp. You may want to post that question in the category for Boot Camp.
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237
However, I have messed around with using Windows 7 Beta under VMware Fusion. It works, with some graphical anomalies when the virtual machine is starting up. When I install a new OS into a VMware Fusion virtual machine, I always use the option to install from a disk image file, instead of a physical disc. That would avoid any issues you have there with your physical disc.
To do so, click the New button and then +Continue without disk+. Then +Use operating system disk image file+ and select the disk image file. In your case, that would be the Window 7 Beta .iso file that you downloaded. I told the VMware Fusion I was installing Windows Vista.
(Incidentally, I am using the 64-bit version. If your iMac is Core 2 Duo, you can. Don't know if that you make a difference in the Beta working or not working.)
To test the drive itself, you may want to start up from your Mac OS X installation disc and get to the Installer. From there, you can try running Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. While you are there in Disk Utility booted off another system, you might as well run a +Repair Disk+ in your startup volume. Then restart normally and try playing a DVD movie. If everything works, the optical drive is probably OK.

Various Installation Problems with Portege R100 and Windows XP

Hello,
i recently purchased a used Portege R100. It came without OS and i wanted to install XP SP2.
I know that restores only work with suited PCMCIA drives, but the HDD is formatted, so there is no recovery possible i guess.
Here are my problems:
- with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD-Drive the Windows Setup CD is recognized and it starts loading XP drivers until it wants to start Copying the installiation files --> then I get the Windows Bluescreen with the 00x7 error (virus or driver)
- the same happens with my old W2k Pro installation disk.
- With the even older W98SE strange things occur too: The installation seems to work properly, but when it comes to boot with W98SE for the first time the systems hangs up with pixelgarbage.
- Making the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot did not work either.
- I also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! That worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copying the Windows I386 folder to my hdd with volkov commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So i had hav the files on my disk but after running winnt in the i386 folder, the system hangs after a while, when it starts to copy files to a temporary folder.
So i nearly tried everything i know. right now i am downloading knoppix to try that.
I have run Memtest86 and the Diskmanager 9 to test RAM and HDD, both finished withut errors, so the main parts involed in the setup process seem to work. May it be that my IDE controller is broken?
I have no idea, WHY windows won't install!
Help is warmly welcome!!
Thanks,
Christian
Does

Hello
i fixed the problem:
The method of installing the i386 files to the DOS Disk and running winnt works. I was to impatient. Windows setup starts copying the files to a temporary folder. Nromally you see the info bottom right, waht files are copied at the moment. This is a good indicator that the system is still working.
My setup does not show waht files are copied to the temporary folder. But it still works. HDD is spinning all the time. Due to the "non-Sound" of the R100 i was sure it hung up. But it simly did not. After lets say 20 minutes, the setup process went on as usual....
Now i have XP in the R100 and all teh drivers installed. What a wonderfull notebook, really!
Thanks for the hints anyway...

SB X-Fi Driver Installation Problem (X-Fi does not install on Asus A8N-VM CSM

Dear forum members,
I want to install Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme on my Windows XP x64 Professional computer, but i am not able to succesfully finish 64bit X-Fi driver installation. Whether i use newer x64bit X-Fi beta driver or older official x64bit X-Fi driver, the installation of the driver stops at the end of the installation, when "CTDVINST.DLL" file is being installed and MY COMPUTER REBOOTS instantly. After the reboot, i am being asked to install Soundblaster X-Fi driver again and again. So all the X-Fi software installs well, but when i want to upgrade to x64bit drivers downloaded from Creative web site, the installation process reboots my computer right at the end of it, when "CTDVINST.DLL" file (it seems to be the last file in the driver package) is mentioned.
Help me please solve this problem, so that i can use my new Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme on my computer soon.
Thank you very much.

- new Windows installation did not help,
- it is not caused by x64bit operating system, beacuse it did not install neither on Win XP 32bit
- i tryed both driver updates (2 and 3) on both operating systems
- i tryed to start driver installation from X-FI Driver\Drivers\Support\ctzapxx.exe, no change at all
- i tryed to uninstall previous driver first through ctzapxx.exe as well
- i tryed to install the driver on fresh installation of both Windows XP x64bit and x32bit
driver installation reboots the computer just a percent before it should finish, allways, no matter how i try to install the driver

MSI - NX6800 GT driver installation problem

Hello,
I've got a tricky problem, i'll try to give as much details as possible, so if i forget something, just ask =)
My Configuration :
Motherboard : Asus A7n8X Deluxe (first version)
CPU : Athlon XP 2400+
RAM : 1.5Gb (DDR Ram)
Graphic Card : MSI - NX6800 GT (256 Mb)
Hard Drives : 80GB(Western Digital) and 250Gb(Hitachi)
Ok, i haven't put too many hardware informations because apparently the problem isnt coming from the hardware side.
First, i've been running with this configuration (just without the second hard drive), for a year and a half, on Windows 2000, and it's been working fairly fine. No problems detected.
i've acquired a second Hard Drive a few weeks ago (the 256 Gb one), so i've decided to put a fresh install of XP on it.
Installed XP without any problems, but it's while installing the drivers that the problem popped up.
I've installed Windows XP Professional on my newly acquired Hard Drive (the 250Gb one), and then tried to reinstall the latest NVidia Drivers for the Geforce.
I've first installed the drivers of the motherboard (1.16 from Asus), then i installed Direct X 9.0c, and i finally installed the latest Nvidia drivers for GFX Cards (91.31).
Unfortunately, right in the middle of the installation of these drivers, the screen switched to black, then went to sleep mode (like if there was no video output). Finally the computer reboots, and i have to use the latest working configuration to be able to go back to Windows XP again.
I've tried with different versions of the drivers for the motherboard and for the Geforce 6800 GT, but still the same problem.
So for now i'm still using only my first Hard Drive with Windows 2000 on it, till we find what to do to solve the problem. (and since it works on Windows 2000, the problem can only be a software one).
Thank you in advance for your help!
PS : Here is the detail of the 1.16 drivers from Asus :
This nForce WinXP driver package contains the below components:
Audio driver 3.14 (WHQL'd)
Audio utilities 3.07
Network driver 2.81 (WHQL'd)
GART driver 2.78 (WHQL'd)
SMBus driver 2.75 (WHQL'd)
Memory controller driver 2.75 (WHQL'd)
IDE driver 2.70 In The Box (WHQL'd)
IDE driver 3.07 Full Driver
Installer 3.11

I've already tried the Vid Card on another comp, and it works without any problems there.
I've been making an hypothesis, though the chance that its coming from that is very slim i think.
A bit more than a year ago, there was a storm(pretty violent and really near my house), and my comp was plugged on (though it was shut down). After that incident, 2 USB slots of my mobo were dead, along with one network card on it. But the rest was working fine. So i've been working if it couldnt have affected a bit the rest. I have no idea how it works whn installing new drivers, about the tests it does with the system and hte hardware. But if it tries to take full power on the vid card, it might be that. I dont know how i could verify that though.

Dv4-3106tx: Bluetooth driver installation problem

Hi and good day,
Im having a problem with my integrated bluetooth. Before this everything works well until recently I cannot discover bluetooth device, send/receive file. And I confidently, uninstall the bluetooth driver from device manager with intention to reinstall it back using the driver included in C: drive.
However, the problem is when Windows keep install the driver with built in driver that comes with windows. I thought, ooh ok nevermind, I'll just run the setup and it will overwrite and use the Ralink/Motorola bluetooth driver instead.
But that's not the end. When I run the setup, I got this dialog
and I select "Yes, restart the computer now" and click on finish. Then the computer restart and relaunch the setup and again I got this same message again..again and again and again.
So I'm pretty much stuck now. Right now the bluetooth is installed with built in windows driver being used. But I cannot discover, send/receive file whatsoever.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Oh my gosh. I'm completely forgot this thread.
Actually I managed to solve the bluetooth problem by:
1. Getting the driver backup files from my friend. He's using same lappy with me. I asked him to backup the driver using Driver Magician software.
2. I run the driver magician software and do the restoration. Then it requires a restart. Restart the computer
3. Upon restart, I launched the bluetooth driver installation software and it manages to complete the installation without any problem.

6500 multiple installation problems with existing hp printer on same computer

I just bought a 6500 wireless printer on a 14-day trial period from Staples. The first problem I had was that the installation CD said it did not support Windows Media Center Edition on my laptop. I chatted online with HP and downloaded a driver and ran the install. It got error messages halfway through that the HP PSC2100 (which I have used with my laptop) does not support wireless. I deleted the PSC2100 from Printers and Faxes and re-ran the install. This time it worked, but I got a message that the printer could not communicate with Scanning. I ignored this message and I am able to print from my laptop wirelessly. Now I want to install on my HP desktop, which has an HP Photosmart printer connected. Will I get this same kind of installation problem? Should I delete the Photosmart before trying the install? Do I need to connect the printer to the desktop with the USB cable (I'd rather not move the printer)? Will I be able to scan wirelessly after getting the Scanning error message? All of these could be tested, but with only 14 days I'd like to launch off other peoples' experience.
thanks!

Hi, you should be able to install you new printer without having to uninstall the old one.
