FX5200 VTD128 problem

Two weeks ago, I bought the new PC components and I have following problems: Symptoms: System stops for 2 seconds, and then monitor blacks out for approx 0,5 second. It happens in different programs. I downloaded new VGA 53.03 drivers from MSI web side, I downloaded new Mainbord INF file. Please help me with advice. Is it the hardware VGA card problem?

Help with FX5200 VTD128 video capture

Hi all,
Just got this card - works great except video capture. When I try to use Windows Movie Maker, I get a message saying that the device is not responding, close any applciations that may be using the device & try again, then a message saying the device could not be used because there was an error starting the device. I have used MSI Live Update to get the latest drivers for this card. Also, I see a nVidia TV Tuner in my Control Panel - is this related to my problem?
Thanks!

Just a thought - had a friend with an FX5900 on an nForce chipset which would not show anything on the display. Another VGA card put in its place had the same problem. The mobo (an MSI) had two jumpers to set it in safe mode (100Mhz bus speed). After flipping these into position and turning it on there was the display!!
Reset items in BIOS and jumpers and the system went on without problem. Maybe your board has the same jumpers.

Fx5200 VTD128 Screen flickers using video in?

Hi, I just installed a MSI FX5200 VTD128 video card on a ASUS A7N8X deluxe motherboard. I used the MSI Utility to download their latest drivers. I am running WinXP. The problem I have is I run the video out from my satelite receiver to the composite video in on the video dongle. Using the MSI media center Watch TV mode the screen flickers and is almost unwatchable. I also tried hooking my VCR to the same input and had the same problem. I plan to get a better patch cable but anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks

I had the same problem with my 5600VDTR 128Mb, it seemed to be a conflict between the 2.03 (msi) wdm drivers an the 45.23 (NVIDIA) VGA drivers. Using the msi 45.33 drivers cured it for me.
However, I am now using the latest 2.13 VIVO drivers from Nvidia with the new Forceware 52.16 nvidia graphics drivers and everything works great!

Nvidia FX5200 capture problems. Success story

Hi,
I had the problem that many other people had. The vivo functionality will not work when capturing with thes standard drivers. Blue screes, one frame, reseting...
I have gone trough most of this. Here is a solution that worked to me at first sight.
I checked the link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=8dfd1b6d-e177-4a0e-91d0-b4310675b02b&displaylang=en ( thanks Deathstalker for pointing to this).
Download the patch.
Then I went to
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_20011119_6301.html
And followed the instrcutions.
Everything worked fine at first try.
FYI..... if it can help anybody.

PD: My card was an FX5200 T ultra vivo 256MB

This f&%k&$#ing card hanged again.... it just takes more time...
No solution fo the problem. Disregard the message please.

FX5200 games problem

first of all, sorry for creating another "FX5200 problem" topic, but i've read the latest ones and im not sure they've got the same problem...
i've just bought a GeForce FX5200 T128. i installed the card and everything, and even downloaded the lastest driver from MSI's site (44.039x)... but most of my games are not even running (that's right they don't even start), apparently a rendering problem as it says on "TRON 2.0 DEMO" and "Morrowind"... and they were working just fine on my previous card (GF2 MX400)
my system is a Athlon XP1700, ASUS A7S333, 256DDR266
running windows 98 SE

Good that I found somebody who has a similar problem. You guys on this forum are really good and maybe my last hope.
I have an IWILL K266 mobo with AMD Athlon 1GHz
Processor with VIA chipset. I have the latest BIOS for
the motherboard. I have a couple of issues:
1. Any 3D game does not run. It either exits silently after the intro video(Starfleet command) or with an error (Ghost Recon)or
with a popup note saying "Cannot open Display Mode"
(Trophy Demo), or does not even start (IL sturmovik demo).
2. Old Game called Freespace-2 cannot find the
accelerator card
3. When I look at the MSI Information Tab under the
Display, I see that the AGP Enable box and AGP4x box is not set. If I try to
set them, it does not allow me to do this. My motherboard
supports AGP4x/2x and its BIOS is set to AGP4x.
4. Setting the Motherboard BIOS to AGP2x does not
help.
5. dxdiag works fine except some MIDI audio test.
6. I am appending the modified system info. that MSI Live generates. Note that it says the card is “Offline”!! What does this mean?
I have the latest BIOS for the mobo and DirectX9.0b driver and the latest Nvidia drivers provided via MSI Live Utility(MSI drivers don’t work either). The ONLY thing that I do not have is the latest VGA BIOS from MSI. But then, I don’t want to upgrade that until someone tells me that it will solve the problem.
I noted a long thread about a problem similar to mine but affecting the FX5900 cards. However, they have the same problem when running at AGP8X and it works if they move to AGP4X. I tried setting the mobo BIOS to AGP2x but it does not help.
I tried setting the “AGP Driving Value” in my BIOS to EA and E7(Default was DA) with no effect.
Based on another forum thread, I tried to find if there was a Registry entry named “4XAGP” but I could not find any such entry in my local registry.
Can someone please help me before I decide that this card is a pure POS and RMA it back to Amazon before 30 days are over.

GeForce FX5200 - big problem

Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
1. I can't even start my OS. It's the graphic card problem for sure, because when I'm changing it for any other card it works fine. Ok, so when my OS (XP) is loading, my monitor just turns off and the led is blinking. All what can I do is reset or turn of the computer. There was no fan on the vga when I bought it (2 years ago). It was working excellent. And now I can't even run my OS.
Does anyone of you know what's the problem ?
2. Second problem - tvout. When I connect my tv, screen on tv is weird, I don't know how to describe it but it looks like the colours are brightened. I can't do anything with it, I was trying some setup but nothing works. It was working good too, but it screwed up much more sooner then my first problem. :D

you can try, use fail safe mode, pressing F8 when booting, then set to start in failsafe mode with vga, then if you can get in to windows then go to video properties and change the refresh frecuency to 60hz in any resolution and restart, if do not work do it again in fail safe mode (no vga mode) if the last thing you see is the windows logo with the loading bar then the problem is monitor out of refresh values, that turn of the monitor, another thing may be if you conect a tv like a monitor without your pc monitor, sometimes the main monitor is set to tv so when start windows the pc monitor turn off, if you can see something in your tv then you must change to "clone view" the multidisplay setting
ok mi english is not good too so i hope to help you in some way
true but that dont explain --> "I was able to start an OS, but in the game it crashed again."

Fx5200 ddr128 problem

hi everyone my problem is "screen refreshing",my screen vanished and coming:) , when click right a video it is occuring

fx5200 msi starforce geforce my driver version NVIDIA v9147 (MSI Version) and many drivers i tried.
could you help me please these days i am in financial problem:) i dont wanna money to waste

hi there, welcome to forum.
get Driver Cleaner(http://www.drivercleaner.net/download.php?site=2&file=DCProSetup_15.zip) and complete remove your currently VGA drivers.
then get and use those (77.77 Nvidia official, for your VGA) ---> http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_77.77.html
and install it.
Ensure mainboard chipset drivers is installed before proceed with VGA driver installation.
also give more details about your system, including PSU specification, read here---> Moan Guide
if problem persist, give more details about your "screen refreshing" problem. (screenshout, or more detailed explanation when and where that is happend).

FX5200 BIOS Problem

I recently used live update 3 to update all my old drivers and BIOS which includes my VGA bios. The updates went fine, no lockups or errors and I restarted as it asked. When I finished updating using Live VGA BIOS on my FX5200 TDR-128, I restarted and the problem began.
My computer displays the POST, checks the drives etc and then I get the windows XP boot screen. Before it proceeds beyond that point, the screen goes blank and the monitor self test comes on. The computer seems to continue to boot fine but no video.
I can walk through flashing the video BIOS manually since I can load a boot disk OS which I think may fix the problem, but if so I cannot for the life of me find a version of my VGA BIOS available for download. If anyone can provide me with a link for a FX5200 video BIOS or if you think you have another solution for the problem, your help would be greatly appreciated.
My setup is as follows:
Win XP Pro
K7N2 Delta
GeForce FX5200-TDR128

Hi, i know this message was posted a long while ago, but I think i've found myself with the same problem.
The only difference is that nothing at all appears on the screen from the moment I turn the computer on... I dont think windows boots as the trademark opnening tune does not come on. I am not even able to see post.
In terms of loading a boot disk OS, i dont think i can do this since i cant see anything... any ideas? ps i dont have any other graphics cards to test...

FX5200-VTD128 & the tv output

Hello everyone.
I have a small problem with my card, or the display properties. I recently switched to the new winxp unified driver and it works great. But now when I go into the display setttings option in control panel, the menu that would allow me to switch between my monitor or a tv output is gone. Any idea how I can find this again? Thanks for you advice Hanz007

Hi,
Should be more then an option on the TV. If you press the video button on your TV a few times, or on the tv remote control, it should show generally on newer models, video-1, video-2, s-video. Once you are on the video screen called s-video, it should show up on the TV. Just like going to video-1 if your dvd player is plugged into video-1, you have to go to s-video to recieve from the computer. Assuming I understood your post above correct and did not do this. If you have put the channel of your tv on s-video ignore my post. You can also right click desktop, go to properties, display(all the way on the right) then advanced, then go to your display method, and choose how it should work. You can also select TV mode there. Hope you find a solution.

MSI FX5200 128MB problems

I've worked some more on my graphics card problems, and have fixed some of them. The current problem is that Ghost Recon, which I'm using to test the card (came in the box), is kind of funny. Character detail is nil. just a completely black body for all "characters." Al other setail in the game seems fine. Here's what I have now:
Running at 2x, in bios and in windows settings
NVidia 43.03 detonator drivers
Win98se
Ran Ghost Recon 1.2 first, installed 1.3 patch, same prob, installed 1.4 patch, some problem.
Can someone suggest if this is a game problem, a driver problem, or a system problem? This game worked fine on my old hercule MX geforce card.
Thanks,
Tucsontier

That's kind of difficult to diagnose, for one you are using 98SE and drivers are not that well supported and troublesome to get loaded properly for one. Plus I have no idea what hardware you have, the fact that it's running at 2X is a mystery to me since I don't know what make/model mobo you have, not to mention the power supply.
Then take into consideration how long it has been since your last format and re-install of the OS, the process in which it was done ie drivers loaded and removed PROPERLY and completely before loading new ones.
You could have remnants of the old drivers that can cause all kinds of problems. It's kind of like working on your car and then giving up and bringing it to a mechanic, he has no real idea of what was done prior to him getting it. So the mech. has to go through a logical step by step process of elimination. Often replacing parts/components that may not be needed, often at the customers expense.
So what I would do in that case if it was me?
Make sure I had an adequate power supply.
Try a similar model card to see if the one you now own is faulty, if the problem can be duplicated, then it is likely that the problem lies within the configuration of the machine's hardware/limitations or software/drivers.
If that is not possible then the following is my next step.
Make sure I had an adequate power supply.
Format and install the OS, preferably XP (Better Support)
2000/XP: Load service packs,then drivers.
98SE: modem drivers then Windows update, then drivers.
If a format is too painful then try going to http://www.driverheaven.net and get the utility called Driver Cleaner and use it to uninstall the current driver set and re-install the 44.03's currently available from nVidia's site. Hope that helps.

MSI FX5200 - Direct3D problem

I've just replaced my GeForce4 MX with a new MX5200 128.
Pretty dissapointing from what I've seen so far, but what's really getting on my nerves is that Direct 3D isn't working properly.
I can run some D3D games just fine, but the likes of UT2003 and GTA3:VC won't even start.
I've pulled all other expansion cards from my system, since there was an IRQ conflict with my network card, I'm running on bare bones.
I've run the direct3d tests in dxdiag.exe, the DX7 test works, so does the DX9 test, but the DX8 test is throwing up this error:
Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)
UT is telling me to enable 3D3 in dxdiag, but I don't see an option for it, and besides - some other d3d games are working.
I've tried so many different detonator versions, I think I'm going mad.
I've also spent the last few hours reading through the first 40 pages of this forum, to no avail.
Any ideas before I return this card and get a refund? ?(
Athlon XP 1800
VIA KT133A (running latest 4in1's)
350W PSU

The D3D problem seems to have resolved itself... not working one minute - working the next, very weird... not even a reboot.
I've never spent 9 hours trying to get a GFX card installed before, but there's a first time for everything.
I did a few benchmarks earlier today, and sadly my GeForce4 MX 440 runs rings around my low end GeForce FX.
And I've read numerous reviews stating the same.
Granted I'm only running it at AGP4x.
But you'd expect it to out-perform it's predecessor wouldn't you?
Feeling pretty sore at nVidia at the moment, but let it be a lesson to read up on your card before you buy it.
BRING BACK 3DFX!!! :O

No sound on video cature (fx5200-vtd128)

Does anybody know how to add sound to the video-in?
I'm watching the video from the MSI Media Center Deluxe II. There is just no sound.
My soundcard is a soundblaster128.
Ports include:
line-in
microphone
line-out (front) jack
auxiliary in\line out (rear) jack

ME VERY STUPID.
I tried both the Line-In & Mic ports before I posted.
Unfortunately, I didn't try looking to see if the plug was in the audio out on the back of the VCR. the plug must have come loose.
Now I have the VCR sound coming over my PC speakers, but i seem to be having problems with MSI Media Center Deluxe II.
I was able to save 2 video recordings. After that, I go to record and it asks me for what I want to name it, but the clip never appears in the list.
I also cant figure out a way to delete the 2 previously saved recordings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
