FX5200-T128 Screen flash on log in....

Hi there,
Just purchased the MSI FX5200-T128 card and installed with a new installation of XP and supplied drivers.  Upon log in with any user the screen flashes twice, then logs in.  Also when I go to the display settings and go to the FX5200 tab the screen flashes.  Windows update indicated that I needed a new driver signed in July (I think) so I downloaded these.  These were 45.23.  After installation of these, hitting the display manager toolbar icon causes the screen to flash, as well as retaining the previous flashing problems!
This morning I have downloaded the 45.33 drivers with the same results.
Any ideas why my screen keeps flashing!?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

MSI FX5200-T128

I have another problem.  I know that support for this card is poor with the current XFree and have downloaded the run file from Nvidia.  I have a new HD and started to boot Mandrake 9.0 from CD.  It got as far as hitting enter to start the install....then the screen went blank and that was it....
So now I have problems in both Linux and WinXP!!
Any help would be much appreciated,
Mark

    If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced.  You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.

  • My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

    My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

    Reinstall OS X;
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Screen flashing between grey and background, dock not showing

    I don't know how this happened, but I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion: as soon as I'd logged in, the Dock dissapeared, and the background started flashing between grey and my background. The only way for me to open anything is through Spotlight.
    Whenever I try to make an app fullscreen, it glitches halfway through: half the screen is grey, and half the screen flashing. Opening Notification Centre flashes between grey and open and background and closed. Mission Control won't open, and CMD-tab fails to do anything.
    Upon inspection in Activity Monitor, there is an abnormal amount of processes named "com.apple.dock.extra": closing them does nothing. One process exists and then doesn't in time to the background flash, and the amount of "dock.extra"s grows and shrinks from 3 to 10.
    Can anyone help me with this strange problem?

    Open Spotlight and type Terminal. Select the Terminal application.
    Type 'sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Dock'. Ensure it looks exactly like that (minus the quotes) and hit enter. Type your password if you have one. Then, type the command 'killall Dock' and hit enter. The dock will terminate and restart, and it will hopefully be returned to its previous state.

  • Complete FX5200-T128 failure?

    I've just tried installing an FX5200-T128 into a PC266 motherboard (using XP1600+ processor).
    The driver install was fine but the end result now is that when I boot I have about two seconds of 640x480 then the signal stops (screen goes blank and says "no signal input").
    I have absolutely no idea of how to proceed - the machine still works fine when booting from the old PCI card (which I removed before starting the install - the machine won't boot with both in place) or the built in VGA slot.
    I've tried setting the PC's BIOS to using PCI with an IRQ, PCI without and IRQ and just using the "built in AGP" option all with the same result.
    Any ideas very welcome.
    Thanks

    balance,
    Have you try to insert your AGP Card to other system ?
    maybe is the AGP Card problem.

  • Forms 10g Screen flashing

    We are currently upgrading our Oracle Forms 6i applications into Forms 10g. During this process, we have encountered a screen flashing issue.
    The application is coded in such a way that there is one form that remains open and it keeps calling other forms one after the other in sequence depending upon the application flow selected by the user.
    While doing this, when the application moves from one "Called Form" to another, the "Base Form" that was open, appears completely because the next "Called Form" is being loaded. This, to the user, will appear as a screen flash and distract/disturb them.
    Note: This application was originally coded in 2.3 around 20 years ago and has been migrated since then without any major tuning. All forms in this application are heavily loaded with multiple canvases, items and triggers.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Its impossible to say what it could be without more information. I think you need to go thru the forms and find out what code is causing the flashing.
    We have had a few flashing bugs thru the years but we have fixed all the ones we know about. If you cannot make the flashing go away by recoding your forms, please log a bug.
    When you find out please post an entry here to help others in the future.

  • Screen flashing on error, despite being disabled

    I have the setting under universal access to disable the screen flash on error, yes it's still doing it everytime an error occurs (i.e. a "beep" should be audible if searching a webpage for a word that doesn't exist.)
    Anyone else having this issue?

    That's good news.
    The new account is using information from a brand new Preferences file which is unaffected by whatever made yours misbehave.
    Do this: Go to the Finder and select Go to folder like so:
    then type library like so:
    oops, posting too fast... stand by while I edit this...
    As I was saying...
    Click Go, then find the folder called Preferences and open it. Then find the files called
    com.apple.universalaccess.plist, and
    com.apple.systemsound.plist
    and drag them both to the Trash.
    Log out.
    Log in again and open System Preferences > Universal Access. Configure all four tabs the way you want, then close System Preferences.
    Does that fix things?

  • White screen flash when shutting down after a suspend

    If I have suspended my laptop at any time during its uptime, when shutting down the screen flashes white, but it turns off as usual. This only happens if I have suspened.
    There are no issues as far as I can tell, I see nothing much in journalctl when comparing a suspeded shutdown vs no suspend.
    Im using nouveau, and I'm up-to-date as of now.
    Google hasnt returned much,
    Anyone else seeing this?

    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

  • I was met with a bogus Welcome Screen during account log in.

    The font wasn't right, the mouse was very sluggish and the log in window just repeated itself in between an all blue screen flash.  Finally, I rebooted from the front panel switch on my Mac Pro tower.  Every thing worked normally after that.  I have the feeling someone besides me is using my computer remotely, for ill purposes, I'm sure. 
    I have two Macs and one recent Acer Notebook I added to my network.  Windows 7 makes me want to scream since it's so counter-intuitive and that may have opened the door to something sinister.  I have no clue what to do about it.
    I'd upgrade to the latest operating system to cure it, but then my Adobe Master Suite collection might not work.
    Suggestions anyone?

    Run an anti-virus on your Windows partition, as well as making shure any sharing functions, on both sides are shut off.  Run firewall on both sides as well.

  • Blue Screen - Can't Log on to my Account

    Suddenly, I cannot log on to my Mac - G4 Tower - OSX 10.4.7. When I switch it on, all I get is a blue screen - after the "starting MAC OS X" box and the spinning gear. The Mac is set up so that my account automatically logs on but nothing happens - the screen flashes and the spinning gear re-appears frequently but I cannot log on. I have started in single user mode and run fcsk -fy; but this had made no difference.
    I have started in SAFE MODE and can log on using another account (Supervisor) but when I try to log on to my account, I return to the log on screen which still says SAFE MODE.
    From the Supervisor account I cannot access the Login items for my own account, so I'm not sure how I can check them and remove anything I think is causing the problem.
    I'm beginning to think that my account is corrupted in some way but really have no idea what to do next. Can anyone help please?
    Thanks in advance.

    hi cliff--
    do you mean you went through the steps i suggested, or all the ones in the article? if you went through all the steps in the article, and it still isn't working, you should archive and install your operating system. this should allow you to access your account again. steps for the archive are outlined here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120. make sure you repair the disk beforehand with disk utility, and run software updates afterwards to bring the operating system up to the current version, or things may not work properly. you will have to reinstall any third party software.

  • FX5200-T128 AGP (Tv-Out)

    Hello
    Hopefully someone can answer my question since MSI doesnt return my emails or my phone calls.  This makes me want to spend my hard earned money buying another MSI product.
    I just built myself a new system  and cant figure out why I am having the problems with this video card. I am using this video card until I decide which one to upgrade to.   A little about my system first.
    CPU:  AMD XP 3200+
    Ram: Cosair (2) 512meg) chips PC3200 (Mastching Pair)
    MB: Gigabyte 7nnxp (Latest Bios)
    Sound Card: Sound Blaster Live 5.1
    HD's: 85, 120, 160 gig Maxtor Drives
    MSI FX5200-T128 (Latest Bios)
    KDS VS-195 19 inch Monitor
    I am running the Latest Bios and software MSI FX 5200 Drivers 53.03 (Nvidia Drivers) for the FX5200-T128 AGP 8X video card and still have these problems.  
    The problems I am having probably have something to do with the refresh rate but i'm really not sure just guessing. The taskbar (down below) turns a solid color and you can't see the icons on it when dong different  tasks on the computer. Evently it goes back to normal and everthing goes back to normal.  When I first boot the computer up I get a white background (which doesnt bother me to much).  Plus I use Photoshop a lot and when I am first booting that up the screen goes to white but after its loaded up I see everything I need to see.  If I am in Photoshop doing some editing the whole screen turns white and usually the only way around it is to press the esc key and sometimes I loose my work and have to start over. If I go to the control panel then select the display icon/settings/advance/troubleshoot/hardware acceleration.  If I lower the performance on the card way down then i don't have a problem but why would I do this.  
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    IF you had done a search and some research on that card you would see that it's a glorified GF2 440 MX equivelent and is not a high end video card for much else than a normal business workstation...graphic editing wouldn't be my first choice to do with that card...
    Now you could have a bad motherboard as well...power supply could be light on it's output to power your components...it could be a lot of different things...
    Need to troubleshoot your system with known good parts of the same manufacturer and chipsets...
    Good Luck!!

  • Black screen flashes before opening gmail

    Hi, recently I updated to Firefox 4.0. Since then, every time I visit gmail.com a black screen appears. After a split second it disappears again and the usual gmail log in screen shows up. Why is that and how can I get rid of that black screen flashing before gmail loads? Has it something to do with the ad-ons adblock, flashblock and noscript I installed? They never caused any trouble in Firefox 3.x

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
