Fujistu-Siemens OEM version of the MSI MS-7125

Now, I've read a few topics on this motherboard and it's problems, but I think I have a new one by far. While building a computer for my girlfriend, we purchased this part from geeks.com under the impression that it was a genuine MSI board and it turns out it's not. So I'm kind of at a loss of what to do with our problem here. After putting together the entire system and booting it up, I noticed something weird. There was no color green... Yes, you read me right, no GREEN! It's not the monitor, we checked that on her dad's old desktop. It's a brand new NEC monitor. Everything in this computer is brand new, except for this mobo. We have a ASUS EN6200TC512 PCI-E x16 video card installed but unluckly, I don't have another computer with PCI-E x16 to test if it's the video card. I highly doubt it for some reason. I've eliminated most of the normal mistakes i.e. not seated correctly, VGA plug in all the way and tightened. I've even tried to manually changed the colors via the monitor's OSD but to no avail. I mean, the OSD turns green when you drop the other colors to nothing, but still no green from the actual signal. I've even updated the BIOS using the modded one that syar2003 made. (Thanks for that one! If i can get the color problem fixed, maybe I can have some fun with OC this thing.) Anyone heard of such a problem and have any idea what to do? I plan to try and find someone around who has a mobo with a PCI-E x16 slot so we can test the video card, but if it's not the card, I think I might be screwed. I did e-mail geeks.com with my problem, but I doubt that they'll be any help.
Thanks in advance,
Sero

I'll take a look at that. One other thing that I doubt is the problem, but if it is, I'm just waiting for that part. THe mobo had a 24 pin power connector but the PSU only had 20. The manual that I got off of MSI's site said that I could use that, but are there any forseeable problems because of that? I have already ordered the 20 to 24 adapter just in case. I haven't actually gotten a chance to test anything with the new BIOS since I flashed it, just bad work schedules between me and my girl, so I'm waiting until the weekend to see what I can do. I'm also going to take a better look at the video card itself when I install the adapter. From most of the pics that I've been finding on this perticular card, for some reason, I think mine looks different... I'm getting kind of annoyed at these places advertising one thing and then sending you something different.

What kind of TV-Out is on the 64MB Version of the MSI Geforce4-Ti4200?

It´s very important for me:
What kind of TV-Out is on the 64MB MSI Geforce4-Ti4200? And what kind is on the 128MB Version? (The same?)
Thanks

The hub is not compatible. It sounds like the unit is powering the link to the TC.. which would cause the TC to freeze up. You might need a special USB cable which has just data connection but no power.
It is really hard to get info on hubs that work.. particularly because there are so many around and many are changed .. eg if you buy a belkin this year it fails when last years one worked.. that is because all the manufacturer is farmed out to various factories in China who use .. the cheapest parts available today to build them.. next week it could be different.
The TC just doesn't have a huge amount of memory to store drivers for every USB under the sun. So some work some don't. The best I have found is the cheapest brand x USB2. I would not bother with USB3 since that chipset is even more unlikely to be supported than USB2 ones.
I have tried to get people to add to a database.. not much so far.

Oem version p6n platinum wont load realtek lan driver

Hi I got an oem version of the p6n sli platinum off ebay new. It seems to work well, but it refuses to load the driver for the lan. ran the nvidia driver utility, but no dice. Also wont load the SM Bus driver. I dont know what that is. More importantly Id just like to get the onboard nic to work. Annoying every time I boot it goes through the wizards for the two unsuccessfully. Id like to have maybe tried to flash the BIOS, but I dont have a floppy drive. Any help is appreciated

Are you sure it is an OEM-Board? Look for the following information an post it here:
--> Model Number (Printed on the board itself between PCI & PCI-E Slots), MS-7350VP means OEM in your case, MS-7350 is the retail version
--> BIOS Version (should be displayed on the POST Screen (look for A7350I?? V?.?? ), post the full BIOS ID:
Quote
off ebay new
OEM Boards are build for companies like Medion, FSP, HP etc. to be used as part of complete systems sold under the specfic brand name. OEM Boards are not sold on the open market. That means either your board is not an OEM board or it is not necessarely new.

Can't install OEM version of WinXP on the K7N2 Delta!??!?

I posted on amdmb.com's forums about how I cannot get WinXP to install on my hard drive connected to the k7n2 delta. Wonkanoby, a senior moderator on one of the boards here, and a visiotor on those boards at amdmb.com, stated that OEM versions won't work on this mainboard and you have to have a retail box windows version. Is this true? if so, this is complete crap! If MSI thinks I'm going to spend $150 bucks on a retail boxed version of Xp when I have a perfectly fine working copy right here, they are N U T S!!! This has got to be the most outrageous thing I've ever heard concerning mainboard issues. I hope MSI realizes they will either be working on a bios fix or they're paying me the restocking fee to send this board back to Newegg.

How to Install the OEM Version Windows XP Professional
Last updated: 6/18/02
Q. How Do You Install the Windows XP Pro OEM Version?
A. I install it on a new computer (or hard disk drive taken down to "bare metal") from the DOS prompt with a Windows 98 Startup floppy (http://duxcw.com/digest/Fromshop/software/windows/startup/startup.htm). Put a copy of smartdrv.exe on the Startup floppy. You should be able to find a copy on and existing Windows 9x/Me computer at C:windows. It is on the CD’s in D:win98. Boot to the floppy and use fdisk to partition the drive (the process the same as that at http://duxcw.com/digest/Howto/software/windows/upgrade/fdisk.htm. Format the C: drive. Do not install the system files. If you have more than one partition, they can be formatted during the Windows XP installation or with Windows XP after it is installed. Also, use fdisk to manually make C: active if there is more one partition. Load smartdrv.exe…
A:>smartdrv.exe
…and run D:i386winnt.exe, where D: is your CD-ROKM drive.
Do not delete or reformat C: with this method. Winnt.exe copies the install files to that partition. You can convert it to NTFS and that process is fast. It should also work if the i386 directory is copied to a scratch hard disk and the hard disk is connected to the secondary IDE interface.
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer = a company that makes/markets computers (and parts), etc. which include parts made by other companies, and not the “original” manufacturer as OEM implies, just masquerading as one. Licenses of OEM versions of Windows, etc. software are sold to computer manufactures for installation on new computers. They are full versions of Windows, not upgrades. They are widely available on the "grey market" and Internet and cost considerably less than retail full versions. Just be careful not to purchase a pirated copy.

I want to install windows7 on my 27in iMAC. I have an OEM version of Win7 which is win pro 7, 64 bit english. I will use boot camp to partion the hard drive for a win7 install. Can I use this version for the installation ??

My iMAC is a 2011 3.4 GHz intel i7 based with a 27in display. A year ago, I bought a Microsoft win pro 7 64-bit english OEM OS to install over a newly assembled AMD PC. I never installed it. Now, I want to put it on my iMAC using either Apple Bootcamp or Parallels. The win 7 OEM package has a lot of verbage about using an OEM preinstallation kit (OPK) and that it must be preinstalled on the hard drive. Is it OK to install this win7 version following the Bootcamp instructions.?

Please post in the Boot Camp (not Bootcamp) forum I'm sure someone there can answer your quesiton if no one here is able to.

Bought SSD Separately, am I able to install the OEM version of Windows onto it?

Hi,
I have a new HP Envy Desktop and I bought an SSD seperately which I will be installing soon. I want to install my OS onto it, as I will primarily be using it for gaming. There are no documents I need to back up as the computer is brand new.
Just wondering if someone can clarify the process of me installing the OS which comes with the computer onto the SSD. Am I able to install it through the recovery partition, or do I need to make a bootable disk etc?
Also, will there be any issues with it being an OEM version of Windows as opposed to retail?
Many Thanks

The easiest method to achieve this is to use the Migration Tool available from your SSD manufacturer, don't forget to back up your personal data.
This site also shows how to do it::

Does an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 bought from a reseller qualify to get the upgrade version of Lightroom 5?

I wish to purchase Lightroom 5 at a discounted price and the upgrade version is attractive. I have an OEM version of Photoshop CS3 which I bought online downloaded from a reseller. Is this OEM version accepted as eligible for the upgrade version?

As an alternative to the OEM route, the Lightroom+Photoshop bundle deal at $10 per month is hard to beat assuming you are not opposed to software as a subscription.

Can Acrobat MSP files patch OEM versions of Acrobat?

I have several computers that from Dell that have OEM versions of Acrobat standard. I am trying to deploy Acrobat patches using group policy. I have read the Adobe GP & AD deployment guide for instructions. But I cannot get the patches to install.
I managed to get the an administrative share installed using the OEM 9.0 CD. Here is the command from my workstation:
msiexec /a "\\server\Share\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Acrobat9Stnd\Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard\AcroStan.msi" /log c:\temp\acrobat.log
But I for the life of me cannot get the 9.1 patch files to update the distribution point. The popup error is:
Error 2203.database:
\\server\share\software\adobe\acrobat\acrobat9stnd\adobe acrobat 9 standard\acrostan.msi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.
The second to last line of the log file is:
MSI (c) (98:98) [13:24:39:075]: Product: Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard - English, Fran蓷is, Deutsch - Update 'Adobe Acrobat 9.1.0 Update' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Additional information is available in the log file c:\temp\adobe111.txt.
I have searched extensively on the forums and Google without any luck. I have tried updating the distribution point from multiple computers with multiple different configurations.
I am now wondering if it is an issue with the OEM software version and the Adobe patch off the Web site.
Thanks,
Robert

Problem solved. I did a basic install of xp sp2 in a virtual machine without any patches or programs and ran it from there without any issues. Thanks.

Considerably improved over the GT70, purchased from Ken at GenTech PC, I am one of the first official GT72 owners on the planet.
So, what improvements does the GT72 bring to the table?
1. Improved chassis design.
2. Larger touchpad, smooth and seamless with the palm rest.
3. A large, cool to the touch, glass-like polymer palm rest.
4. More USB 3.0 ports.
5. A 230W PA.
6. A 1080p webcam
7. Revised Steelseries keyboard, flex-free, with brighter back-lighting.
8. Dual fan cooling solution, with improved chassis vent design, a better fan control profile, ergo.....
9. Better overall temps, with quieter operation.
10. Re-designed chassis, and finally a new model designation.
11. Gone is the problematic capacitance touch bar, replaced with positive touch switches.
12. Gone is finicky Optimus switching, replaced with a simple dedicated GPU switch.
13. mSATA SuperRAID 2, is replaced with M.2 SuperRAID 3, increasing speed, and the capacity of the RAID set. ( M.2 should improve significantly with the Intel 9-Series chipset)
14. Killer Doubleshot Pro, wherein Ethernet and Wireless can be used independently, or simultaneously for improved bandwidth.
15. And finally, due to the overall re-design, a more intuitive gaming experience.

Initial thoughts......
Well, here it is..... the MSI GT72-2PE Dominator Pro-007US, and the photos below do not do it justice. It's Bold, it's Bad, it's Fast, it's Powerful, and honestly, there is not much, not to like about this notebook. If there is one thing I feel could have been better, it would be the display. The Chi Mei CMN1735 has good brightness, color, and contrast, but lacks decent viewing angles.
Anyhow, I have already spent a lot of time with tweaking, photos, benchmarks, etc., so I am going to cut-to-the-chase, and try to make this as short as possible.
As to performance, the benchmarks below attest to the GT72's awesomeness, so what about noise, and the redesigned dual-fan cooling solution? Simply put, it is quieter than the GT70, has a better fan profile, and temps are well managed. Given the hardware, of course you will hear the fans spin up when the system is stressed, but it is not at all disturbing..... and when doing common task, the fans are only noticed if you get close and cozy with the system. Ambient room temperature was 78F, and the system's idle temps were CPU@38C, and GPU@36C. Without the use of Cooler Booster ('stock' fan profile only), during benchmarks the CPU reached 78C, and the GPU averaged 80C, peaking to 82C during the 3DMark Sky Diver benchmark. The palm rest remains cool to the touch, it's polymer is smooth as glass, and it's surface is seamless across the touchpad. Only a mild warmth rises from the keyboard.
The Steelseries keyboard is indeed flex-free, keys are very positive and responsive, and the back-lighting is brighter..... which I attribute to the keyboard's re-design. Looks awesome!
So what about SuperRAID 3, is it fast? Oh YEAH! Performance exceeds SuperRAID 2, as expected, and the system boots to desktop in as little as 6 to 7 seconds. HD Tune Pro reports an average read time for the Toshiba M.2 SSD's, as 1535MB/s..... while the previous SuperRAID 2 Sandisk X100 mSATA SSD's was an average of 1411MB/s. On the other hand, SuperRAID 3 really shines in the Crystal Disk Mark scores. To best evaluate the 'Real-World' performance of SuperRAID 3, I used the PCMark 8 Storage Test. For those unfamiliar with this benchmark, the performance score of 5014 is very respectible. The duration of this grueling benchmark is generally 1 to 3 hours, and the GT72 sped through in just 1 hour and 8 minutes. All in all, I applaud MSI's use of the new M.2 SSD's, but I think performance will most improve with future 9-Series Intel chipsets.
With all the attributes I've mentioned above, it is when gaming, that you understand the mastery of it's intuitive design. The re-designed flex-free keyboard, the large smooth & heat-free palm rest, the spatial Dynaudio speakers, and vivid display, all lend to an immersive gaming experience. So much so, I found myself playing my test game, far longer than originally intended.
To run the GT72 through it's paces, I chose the recently released, AMD optimized title, Sniper Elite III, by Rebellion. With settings max'ed to 'Ultra', the GTX-880M smoothly sliced through the frames like a hot knife to butter, with frame-rates from 54 to 82Fps, averaging at 65Fps. Game play was extremely smooth and fluid, and never a hic-cup or artifact.
To represent the 'Out-of-the-Box' experience, I played with the stock fan profile, and Cooler Booster was never used. Like with my benchmark testing, the fan noise was not disturbing, and game audio though the Dynaudio speakers easily comes to the forefront. Fan noise was never a distraction. Temps of the GPU peaked to 82C, but averaged 64C, and the CPU peaked at 68C, averaging 54C. Again, with hardware like this, and without the use of Cooler Booster, these temps are outstanding.... and the new dual fan design is a success!
Initially I intended my game session to be an hour..... in no time it became 3+ hours, and playing on this notebook is simply FUN!
The look and feel is very stylish, and smooth finish is actually somewhat fingerprint resistant. Overall, with these great looks, it's fully loaded system specs, and stellar performance scores, the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro not only entitles bragging rights..... it DEMANDS them!
All of this has me VERY excited for the upcoming next-gen 9-Series, Maxwell, X-treme Edition GT72! Can't wait!
Enjoy!

Steps to Prepare and Sequence the Application:
Phase 1: Prepare vSphere install to be used in your sequence (to be performed prior to sequencing)
Clear %TEMP% directory on machine you are using to prepare the install
Create a folder that will be referred to as "vSphereInstDir"
that install files are copied to
Download the vSphere 5.5 client from your vSphere management server
Run the installer for the vSphere Client
Once at the Language Selection portion of the installer,
using windows explorer browse to the %temp% directory and copy the files that were just created when the vSphere installer extracted to a directory (name it vSphereInstDir)
Kill the installer
Find VMware-viclient.exe in the files you just copied
and run it
Once at the "Welcome to the installation
wizard" stage of the installer, using windows explorer browse to the %temp% directory and copy the files that were just created into the vSphereInstDir
Kill the installer
Find the VMware vSphere Client 5.5.msi in the vSphereInstDir,
in the second set of files you copied over
Using Orca, open the VMware vSphere Client 5.5.msi
Drop the following rows from the msi (some of the rows may have additional text at the end of the names) (InstallExecuteSequence/VM_InstallHcmon,
InstallExecuteSequence/VM_InstallHcmon_SetData,
InstallExecuteSequence/VM_InstallUSB,
InstallExecuteSequence/VM_InstallUSB_SetData,
InstallExecuteSequence/VM_InstallUSBArbritrator,
InstallExecuteSequence/VM_InstallUSBArbritratorSetData,
InstallExecuteSequence/VM_StartUSBArbSvc)
Save the VMware vSphere 5.5.msi in place
Copy the vSphereInstDir to a network location that
can be used during sequencing on your Sequencer
Phase 2: Sequence the vSphere Client
Pre-requisites: All of the latest available VC++ redist (x64 and x86) are installed on the Sequencer VM
Copy vSphereInstDir to your temporary install directory on your Sequencer (mine is C:\temp)
Start up the Sequencer
Click Create a New Virtual Application Package
Click Next with Create Package (default) selected
Click Next on the Prepare Computer screen, taking
note of any findings
Click Next with Standard Application (default) selected
Choose Perform a custom installation, then click Next
Input the Virtual Application name (vSphere Client
5.5 for example)
Enter the Primary Virtual Application Directory (C:\vSphere55
for example) and click Next
Using Windows Explorer find the Visual J# install (vjredist64.exe) in the vSphereInstDir you copied over. Install using defaults
Using Windows Explorer, find and install the vSphere client using the VMware vSphere Client 5.0.msi located in the vSphereInstDir you copied over.
Change the installation directory to use the Primary Virtual Application Directory you configured above (C:\vSphere55 for example). Install using
defaults
While the sequencer is still monitoring changes connect to the 4.1 environment to get the files needed. To do this, launch the vSphere client and connect
to your 4.1 environment. When prompted, choose RUN to install the files needed for the 4.1 environment.
While the sequencer is still monitoring changes connect to the 5.0 environment to get the files needed. To do this, launch the vSphere client and
connect to your 5.0 environment. When prompted, choose RUN to install the files needed for the 5.0 environment.
With the sequencer still monitoring changes, after the additional environments have been installed, delete all of the language folders from the install locations
that are not required. You will find that there are language folders in each of the different modules that are installed. Make sure look in every folder. This will free up approximately 300mb from the package.
When done, check the box to finish the sequence and continue cleaning up the sequenced application.
Known Issues/Limitations:
Functions that require the USB Arbritration Service will not work
Approximate Sequencing Time:
20 minutes

WSUS updates not applying to Office 2013 Home and Business OEM version

Hi
For some reason I cannot get WSUS updates to automatically install on clients running Office 2013 Home and Business OEM version.
For example
If user opens any of the office 2013 apps e.g. Outlook , word etc, it prompts a message at the top under the ribbon toolbar; UPDATE NOW.
All other updates for OS are downloading and installing just fine from our WSUS server.
What could this be?
I dont have this issue with clients running office 2003

First thing you need to do is be absolutely certain which edition of Office you have installed.
There are five editions of "Office 365" and these days, almost anything that is "OEM" is almost certainly Office 365:
Office 365 Home
Office 365 Personal
Office 365 Small Business
Office 365 Small Business Premium
Office 365 Midsize Business
Office 365 ships with an activation code for an online management account, and authorizes the installation of the software on up to five devices. Office 365 is updated via the WEB .. ONLY.
In addition there are three editions of Office 2013:
Office Home & Student
Office Home & Business
Office Professional
If you have one of these three editions, you should also have a DVD and a Product Activation Code for the SINGLE-PC installation which is licensed for these editions provided by the vendor of your computers. Office 2013 can be updated using WSUS.
Since you're getting a prompt IN THE APPLICATION to "Update Now", I believe you're looking at instances of Office 365, not Office 2013. Office 2013 (desktop) does not provide in-product prompts for updates/upgrades.
