Dual Core Center working in Vista but not XP on a dual boot system?

Hi All.
My system specs are:
Dual Boot Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate
Temps for CPU in Vista averaging at 43 - 45 degrees in XP averaging at 38 to 42 degrees. It never seems to go much higher than 53 on Load.
Thermaltake Soprano tower
MSI K9N Diamond Motherboard
Hiper 580watt Modular PSU
4GB OCZ Gold 6400
AMD X2 6000+
2 X 300gb diamond maxtor 10 HDD
MSI Geforce 7800gt
DVD Rom
LG Dual Layer DVDRW+/-
I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP Pro SP2 on one partition and Windows Vista Ultimate on the other. Both operating systems seem to be operating properly except for an odd situation with Dual Core Center. In Windows XP Dual Core Center only indicates the Mainboard properties - No VGA, whereas on Windows Vista Ultimate Dual Core Center indicates both VGA & Motherboard properties. I have installed MSI Nvidia drivers for the Graphics card & also tried straight Nvidia drivers for the card but it has made no difference VGA will not show up in XP. Yet on installing Dual Core Center on the Vista partition VGA showed up immediately. Can anyone help.
If anyone can come up with an answer to this it would be a real help.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you try to update/install the dual core driver from amd?

Dual core center locks up vista

I have my new system up and running with a fresh install of vista x64. Everything works great until I install dual core center. Once DCC is installed, the computer will boot up and start windows, but it freezes withing a few seconds of loading the windows desktop. I read some other posts that said not to use DCC, but why not? Is there a known reason that it doesn't work.
If I can't use dual core center, what is a good program to start out with some very basic oc'ing?

That is the very reason why we don't recommend it. It has habit of causing people problems. Look her for alternatives: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107133.0

It's called the BIOS!

SanDisk ImageMate works on Vista, but not on Leopard

I bought an iMac when my old Windows XP machine from Dell died last Christmas, and am mostly very pleased with it. I used Boot Camp to install Vista Home Basic on it also, because I still needed to run some Windows software.
I recently acquired a digital camera from my daughter, along with a SmartMedia card reader by SanDisk (model SDDR-55 ImageMate). On the SanDisk website I found a driver for Windows that would work for 95, 98, ME, 2000, and XP. I downloaded it after not finding one for Vista listed. Similarly, there was a driver that would work for Macintosh OSX and OS 10.1. I downloaded it after not finding one specifically for Leopard.
I installed both drivers under their appropriate OSes and plugged the ImageMate into a USB port on the computer. What I found was that it worked fine under Vista but was not recognized at all by Leopard. I contacted SanDisk and they had me verify that it was not a problem with the USB port. Also, they had me try to install it on another Mac (my daughter has a Mac laptop running Leopard) and it didn't work there either. So I know the ImageMate works and the USB port works.
SanDisk then suggested I contact Apple. Is there anything I can do to get the ImageMate working on Leopard?
One thing I noticed was that when I ran Terminal and went to /System/Library/Extensions and looked at a couple of files created during the install on the Mac, the owner and group were different from all the other files, so I made them match the others thinking file ownership might be the problem. Alas, it was not. (I did the install while logged in as admin.)
Can anybody point me in the direction of what to do next?
Thanks in advance,
Sherry

Many thanks to both of you for responding. My guess is that my ImageMate is getting old and SanDisk isn't going to help support it. I'm sure they'd rather I replace it by buying one of their newer models.
One of my lesser attractive qualities is that I am cheap, and hate to throw away anything that still works. Since this little doobie still does (under Vista), I'll probably limp along with it there until I can't stand it anymore and buy a new one. I appreciate learning that some require drivers and some don't: that will help when it comes time to buy a replacement.
Neither here nor there, but this is the 2nd device I've had difficulty with getting to work on Leopard but not on Vista (the other being my HP PSC 1315xi printer/scanner/copier).

ITunes sharing works for Vista but not XP on the same network

So all the basic settings are right under Edit->Preferences to share and seek shared music on the network.
Here's the topology:
A - Vista Laptop (wireless)
B - XP Service Pack 2 Laptop (wireless)
C - XP Service Pack 2 Desktop (wired)
A can see C
C can see A
C can see B
A can see B
B can't see anything
Since the other machines can see B I'm lost... can you help?

After digging and reading since I posted this question, I finally found the issue. My Cisco VPN client was set to stateful firewall (always on). When I turned off this setting, all machines worked for iTunes sharing. The Vista box was coincidentally working because the Cisco VPN client 4.6 didn't work on Vista.

MPEG-2 playback audio syncing issue (works in Vista but not in OS X)

My setup:
- Mac Mini CoreDuo 1.83GHz, 1 GB RAM
- Elgato EyeTV 410 DVB-T
- Sony KDL-46W2000 FullHD LCD-TV (1920x1080p)
I have a rather complicated problem with audio-video synchronization at MPEG-2 playback. I've spent a lot of hours on troubleshooting in the last weeks without coming up with a solution.
I've installed Vista using Bootcamp on my Mac Mini, and in Vista everything works fine, so it's definitely a problem in OS X and not a hardware issue.
I have a Mac Mini CoreDuo 1.83GHz 1GB RAM. I have done a reinstall of OS X and updated it in Software Update until Software update says my "computer is up to date". So it's completely fresh without any third party software.
As display I'm using my brand new Sony KDL-46W2000 FullHD LCD-TV connected via a DVI-HDMI cable. I don't have to do any custom settings for this display. OS X outputs 1920x1080 progressive without me having to do any additional settings.
The issue is that when I watch DVDs the picture is delayed on the screen about 200 millisec compared to the audio. This isn't the case on all DVDs, but on several DVDs that I've tested. I don't know the differences between the DVDs. It's the same problem if I use VLC to playback so it's not just Apple DVD Player. And it doesn't matter if I use the S/PDIF output to let my receiver decode the audio or if I use the internal speaker in my Mac Mini.
Now to the most interesting part...
In addition to DVD playback problem, I experience the exact same problem with Elgato's EyeTV. But ONLY when using their deinterlace method "Progressive scan". If I use "Always" or "Motion-adaptive" the audio and video syncs just fine.
If I playback other media-files (in Quicktime or VLC) like mov, H264/x264 or XviD everything works just fine and as expected.
As far as I can see the problem only seems to affect MPEG-2 playback. And judging on the troubleshooting with EyeTV deinterlacing and/or progressive scan seems to be involved in some way.
I also tested EyeTV on a PowerBook G4 connected to my TV, and it shows the exakt same problem.

I don't know what causing the problem, but if you play the files with VLC you can adjust the audio synchronization in its "Audio" preferences if you check the "Advanced" box at the bottom-left.

Vision M 30GB works in Vista but not XP

So, my Vision M no longer will detect in Windows XP SP3. I think it started happening after I upgraded the firmware it says version 0.22 in revovery mode, so I'm assuming that's correct. Everything works great on it on Vista still, but my main computer is running XP. Is there an easy fix to this problem other than upgrading to Vista?
Basically, what happens is this:
I plug in the MP3 player, the XP detects it and installs the driver, then it says there's a problem with the device it just installed. Afterwards, the Vision M shows up in device manager with an exclamation point next to it and I'm unable to access it through XP.
Please help!
Thanks in advance...

I actually was able to fix it by installing the Microsoft User-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack (I found this suggestion randomly on another forum since it seems to be a common problem), so thankfully I didn't have to format. Thanks for the help though.

WRT110 works for Vista, but not XP

Today I purchased a new RangePlus router (WRT110) and performed the setup as shown. What's strange is that my Windows Vista laptop, which I used to install the router (via hardwire connection) is able to connect to the wireless router, however, I have a Windows XP desktop (with PCI Linksys wireless card) and laptop both which cannot access the router. Please note that at this time I don't have security enabled on this router (open access).
Is there anything with the Vista "Network Sharing Center" that might block the other computers from accessing the WRT110 router?
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Can i get more out of this setup or is this as good as it gets for this setup.
Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with the overclocking abilities of your particular motherboard but one thing jumps out at me ...
Your memory is 533 and you are running your system at FSB 334
That means you are running your memory at 334 x 2 (double rate) = 668
So your memory may hold you back from going much higher, the board and chip should not have a problem going higher..
If you are able to manually set the timings for your memory in the bios, try relaxing them to 5-5-5-15, maybe that will allow you to raise your FSB a bit more...

F4580 - WiFi works on Vista but not XP???

Just bought a F4580 as needed WiFi (old PSC 1410 still working OK). Have installed onto Vista laptop, fine. Have failed 4 times to get it onto XP laptop despite reaching the stage of recognising the printer on the network and printing the test page, then freezing at 38% saying 'Hardware Problem' "The data is invalid"??? (it does install OK via USB, of course)
I have been through all the 'fixes' on HP website and same result.
Anyone any idea why it gets so close then dies on me? PLEASE.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's add the printer manually since it appears the software is already installed for your USB connection.
Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by typing its IP address into a browser.
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

"Dual Core Center does not support" error msg on K9N Platinum

Hi,
I just formated my system and installed all the drivers as I usually do. Last thing I installed was the Dual Core center. I cant make it run as I get "Dual Core Center does not support!" error message. I have an Athlon64 X2 4200+ with the latest cpu driver from AMD web site. Any idea on how I could make Dual Core Center work?
Thank you.

Oh ok.
Well on the CD there is a Core Center, but on the site if you go deep into the specific motherboard download section there is a Dual Core Center. I guess it is for dual CPUs.
I've download the AMD X2 Driver. I just wanted to use the Cool'N'Quiet option, since I was told that I needed the "Core Center" for that.

Dual Core Center doesn't work at all.

My mobo is P35Neo2-FR. Cpu is C2D E4600. I didn't overclocked it. WinXP professional 32BIT is installed.
.Net 2.0 is also installed.
From some time, I cannot launch Dual Core Center program. When I double-click the Dual Core Center icon,
There is nothing to be launched. I could not understand why the program suddenly didn't work.
Please let me know the solution to successfully launch Dure Core Center program.

yeah! my only experience with DCC is,... after it runs, it straight away turn on the siren, annoy the whole PC, and after 10 seconds, it shuts down my PC! That's the big annoyance already. The next time I reboot, I quickly terminate it from runnign longer, and straight away remove it from my PC. don't even bother to figure out where the alarm settings is.

Dual Core Center listing varied FSB in vista

I've had it list the FSB as 467 and 1000, and I don't know if it should be doing that or why it's doing that. When I ran it in XP the FSB was always 200

Quote
or why it's doing that
The first explanation that comes to mind is the usual one: Dual Core Center is far from being the most perfect, flawless, accurate and compatible application. The second explanation that can be added to the last one is: Vista is not exactly the cream of the pie either.
If you have more questions, it would probably not be a bad idea to give us some info about your system (read the >>Posting Guide<< first) and tell us which version of DCC your are actually using. Another important thing you should not keep to yourself, is your Vista Version (32bit or 64bit).

Dual Core Center - not worth bothering with?

Hi,
New to this forum so please bear with me!
Just installed a K9N Neo V3 and upgraded to latest BIOS.
Have installed latest version of Dual Core Center software and when I select the the Silent option withing a few seconds the window pops up and it starts playing a Siren sound like something is wrong. It reports the CPU FAN RPM as quite low - but then I have a Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 CPU cooler which controls the speed based on temp.
I cant find any instructions on how to use / configure Dual Core Center. How do you adjust warning levels?
Can you adjust the System Fan Speeds based on Temperature?
I tried uninstalling Dual Core Center and installing the latest version of SpeedFan 4.33 but that wont show any FANs at all on the main screen or config screen.
Are there any other software worth trying?
Thanks In Advance

The two SYS FANS that I have installed.
Anyways I seem to have solved the problem - the two fans came with Molex adaptors etc so I just swapped the 12v & 5v connectors round and connected them to the PSU rather than the MB connectors.
Now the PC is ultra queit and still has two fans sucking warm air out - albeit only running at around 900RPM
OK... I'D Like to Understand, If those fans came with Molex Adaptors, How did you Connect them to the Mainboard in first Place?
Now this is How I modded 2 X 12mm FANS that were Molex and came along with my Case.
Chopped off a 3 Pin cable from Old Cpu Cooler That was not being used, Insert the 3 Pin Cable into one of the Fans Molex Adapter as an extension. Because the molex connectors on these fans are Usable via Male/Female, simply connect The 2nd Fan to the 1st one and hooked it up to My Fan Controller, now I have the Ability to control 2 fans on 1 Knob, and I Do Wick them both up to keep My System cool under Load. The Fan Controller is the reason I needed them on a 3 Pin, could easily use both fans on One 5V ZM-MC1 connector just the same.

DualCoreCenter error - "Dual Core Center does not support!"

Hi, just bought the insanely expensive MSI 8800 GTX Ulta OC (£457), which seems to ship with insanely cheap utilities.
I installed the Dual Core Center (after installing the 'latest' nvidia driver 158.22).
During the install, it insisted on a net framework 2 repair/uninstall for some unknown reason (I have net framework 2 and 3 installed - ie all latest xp patches) with no prior problems.
Anyway, I let it do the repair and install itself.
Now when I run the DualCoreCentre, it comes up with error msg: "Dual Core Center does not support!"
Can someone shed light on what that means please.
Thanks...

It means:
I suck, don't use me!
Stay away from MSI's utilities. If you want to overclock or control fan speeds or anything else.
