FX5900 Ultra and MSI Media Center Problems

Hi,
I've just got an MSI GeForce 5900 Ultra VTD256 card which came with MSI Media Center Deluxe II. However, when I try to install it, it starts the install and then gives the error "This is not a qualified MSI system".
Can you offer any help?
Thanks,
Karen
My system is:
Pentium 4 2.4Ghz
1Gb DDR RAM
Gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra
MSI GeForce 5900 Ultra
WD 160Gb RAID
Windows XP SP1

I didn\'t think that I needed an MSI motherboard to install Media Center - just the MSI video card? What I do wonder as well is that, since all of the first FX5900 Ultra cards are actually manufactured by Nvidia for companies such as MSI, is this why the software doesn\'t recognise the card as an \"MSI\" one? If so, I guess I\'m sunk...
Thanks,

I wouldn't know on that as I have a MSI board and vid card.I do have a media center from nVidia.If you update the drivers from nVidia, you should get theirs.Unless I am thinking of a different media center.
EDIT I was thinking of a different media center,my apologies.MSI's looks neat, I want one as well.

MSI Media Center and WIN 2000

The MSI Media Center does NOT work with Windows 2000! Will there be a Version that does work anytime soon?

Hi Assaf,
This gets to be more of a mystery!

No, there is no sign any such a device in the boot up information, which is a bit strange isn't it? It lists my other stuff o.k. - see below.
What other PCI cards do you have?
I have the following installed:
Network Adaptor 1: Realtek RTL8139(A)-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor. The driver for this must be included in Win 2000 as I didn't have to install anything for it.
Network Adaptor 2: BT Speedway ISDN PCI Card Rev. A (Win 2000). I had to install the driver for this from the supplied CD.
Video Adaptor: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64/M64 PRO. I installed the latest unified driver from NVIDIA (Version: 44.03
Release Date: May 14, 2003).
What puzzles me most is that when I rebuilt the system I started out with just the video card installed and no other adaptors (the card was using the Microsoft supplied driver) and there was no sign of the sound system then. So, unless there is something fundamentally wrong with the motherboard surely the sound should have been detected?
Cheers and thanks for your help.

MSI Media Center Deluxe III !!! Crash all time..

Hi
MSI Media Center Deluxe III keeps crashing. Is there any fix to this problem yet. All seams to have this problem.
I run XP Home SP1 with all live updates done. My Mega 865 only run MSI Media Center Deluxe III utility, since i only wish to install what i wish to use.
The MEGA 865 was bought due i wanted a pc/radio/cd combination. But since MSI Media Center Deluxe III will not start due crash when i starts.. The media machine is useless for me.
I hope MSI can give us an update so this will work. Also if this program will not work with some other software, give us a list :hypecrite:

After several attempts at getting my HTPC to function consistently....it became obvious......disable Media Centre III and install software that is functional and supported....with authors that listen to your suggestions and problems.
Here is what I did and I now have what I believe is a fully functional and integrated HTPC.
Install either MyHTPC (free) or Meedio (commercial version)
I use Meedio to do the following
Play movies from my Maxtor external 250GB hard drive using Bsplayer - movies are catalogued and cover art viewable (used DVD Profiler to maintain library)
Play Music from my internal 200GB seagate drive - music collection catalogued including covers etc
Play TV using Chris-TV. tv@anywhere also sucks so I do not use the supplied software and I have thrown away the tv@anywhere remote control. (Now using Streamzap remote) Chris-TV has much better tuning capabilities and works well with the streamzap remote.
Play DVD using the MSI DVD Player (using PowerDVD ) - note bsplayer also works well but i prefer the PowerDVD skins/interface
Play radio using MSI radio (yes I did keep some msi software) as it worked and it is not important enough for me to be bothered with anything easier to use
Play CD using the MSI CD player (using WMP9)
Call up Internet weather & Radar (Australian Weather only)
Launch internet browser
Play/Display pictures (digital camera snaps) from the home network (pictures are stored on separate PC)
Control home automation - Motorised screen up/down, theatre lights up/down/on/off, Seat lights on/off, projector on/off etc
To get this working seamlessly with one remote control - I use the streamzap remote.....everything mentioned above works flawlessly with this remote so I have also thrown the MSI supplied remote in the garbage.
I now have Meedio in my start-up instead of media centre III and my remote has a macro button that can also launch it. I have a standby macro on the remote that puts the mega 865 to sleep but I still have to manually wake it up (ie touch it)
The litmus test to all of this was to hand the remote to my wife's blonde friend and asked her to play a certain movie on the projector. The HTPC was sight unseen to her before trying this and she was able to (using the remote) navigate her way to the movie through the various features of the HTPC without me having to show her how. And not once did it stop/stall/freeze/reboot/go slow.
Happy to share in the details of how to get this all running to get the best out of the Mega 865.

SQUARES instead of font in MSI MEDIA CENTER

Hi all,
please help...... does anybody has this issue?.. Instalation was correct on WinXP + SP1 and the latest patch for MSI MEDIA CENTER.
Instead of fonts in this application I have only squares.. no text..only squares...so I cant using this program and remote controler as well... X(
Does exists other similar software for MSI remote controler?
Thank you for any idea...

I had the same problem with my Media Center. Squares were annoying me. I thought that it was because of Polish version of my OS and it was. Here is how I resolve it:
Open your regedit and find thin key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareInterVideoWinC inemaUI_Language
its value is set to 0409 (English - Unicode)
My OS is Polish so I changed it to 0415 (Polish - Unicode)
You have a Czech OS so you should change it to 0405
It worked for me. I hope it will resolve your problem with Media Center.
Here is the page were you can find your Unicode language code:

Mega 865 - MSI Media Center SLOW on Music mode (CD audio)

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the Mega 865, when I'm playing CD audio with the Home Theatre / MSI Media Center Deluxe II application. It seems to VERY, extremely slow. It takes about 30 seconds for the application to respond when I directly click into the application, and it does not hardly ever respond to the remote. When I try to close the application once it has begun playing an audio CD, it does not respond very well, usually not within 30 seconds. When I open the task manager, the CPU usage is between 90 & 100 percent. I looked at the system requirements for this application, and the computer has over twice the requirements, so that is not the problem at all. I tried updating to DirectX 9.0b and Media Player 9, but that did not seem to improve performance. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Phillip

This email from tech support may be useful. I'm not sure if this is a new version or not. Its a 110MB download, so hopefully it will help. I'm downloading it now. I'll let you all know if this works (in case someone else has this problem, and they are searching through the posts):
Dear Phillip T. George ,

How to play IFO files in MSI Media Center III?

Read the topic. We all can play avi, mpg, mpeg and other file types, but is there a way to play DVD files from a HD? MSI Media Center III recognizes the VOB's as separate files, not as w whole movie. I see no IFO support in MSI Media Center III, or maybe I'm wrong... Anybody know how to solve this issue?

I don't use MSI's MC application so I can't directly answer your question.
However both Win DVD 6 and PowerDVD6 play them just fine by launching the ts.ifo file.
Yes, I know that, but that means that I should use at least two applications. I need only one front end to launch all my media files, inluding ripped DVD files, not as separate VOBs but as whole movies decribed in IFO files.

MSI Media Center Deluxe Software!!

I'm as I can't figure out how to manually adjust the tv tuning within the MSI Media Center on a 180 I've built for a friend. Is there a way? I know it's a crap suite but I want the end user to be able to use it straight away.
Cheers in advance for any help.

So do I, I don't find any way to tune TV channels, only a crappy autosearch which forget 2 channels and create one which doesn't exist!
If anyone find the tip (windows registry or anything else) please post it!
Relish you may give a try to mediaportal ;-)

MEGA MPC 800k and Media Center problems

Just upgraded to the MSI MEGA 800k replacing the noisy old bax I was usung for my Media Center PC.
Currently having a TV recording issue. the system performs perfectly well recording if left alone, and you can watch the program being recorded without any problems either. However if the live TV is paused or I watch another program whilst recording the recording develops a stutter that makes it unwatchable.
After trying many fixes suggested by Media center forums, I think I've narrowd it down to one of 2 issues.
Either the HDD cannot handle all the the simultanious reading and writing required. (Seems unlikely as the system could manage it and the only difference was a seperate HDD for the OS)
Or its a conflict between the AGP graphics and the PCI TV tunner. Both are set to IRQ 15, which while this presents no conflict to be reported in windows I suspect that having to share the IRQ is causing the two cards to interupt each other and cause a stutter on the recording.
Is there any way to change the IRQ assigned through windows XP?
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks
Neil

Using an ATI Radeon 9550, latest MCE drivers.
After switching to a SATA drive and creating seperate partitions I have reduced the problem to a point where it only stutters occasionally. But I would love to be able to change either the PCI or AGP IRQ allocation to see if this eliminates the problem. Any ideas?

Media center problem with Qosmio G35-650 - error message

hello all
I have a problem with media center on qosmio g35-650.
When starting live tv , an error message appears and writes "application failure please restart your computer again. if problem persists again please contact with your hardware assistance"
It was working yesterday and today something happened.
Also it cant find any tv signal available. Is it a hardware problem?
regards
cem mete

Hello
Please dont be mad on me but in most cases is the user the problem and not the machine. I really dont know what is problem in your case but if the unit has well TV signal there should not be any problem.
Your unit must be an US model. Those notebooks are not known to me but I presume that Qosmio player is preinstalled too. I have G20 and TV works perfect (WMCE and Qosmio player). What is with Qosmio player in your case? Does it work well?
Be sure that TV tuner is listed properly in device manager and also TV antenna is connected properly.

Actiontech router and Windows Media Center on Win8

While waiting for Verizon to solve their network problems and actually get light to the ONT, they left the actiontech router in my house, so I took sometime to get to know it.
It's definitelly something I don't want or need in my network. It's not a bad router if you didn't have a business class product from before (actually it is pretty much the best you can get short of going to hardware firewall routers in the class of Zyxel, Watchguard and some high end, business class, Dells, Ciscos and Netgears).
Well... needless to say, I am running such a router (a Watchguard XTM-26W) and have security subscriptions with them to protect my network. In addition, it offers functionality and discrete access controls otherwise impossible with consumer grade products.
Now, back to the basic subject: I noticed something ominous and wonder if anyone else has noticed it too. I run my TV service through a machine that uses a Ceton 4-HD PCI-E tuner card with a multistream cablecard. It is installed on top of Windows 8 Pro, 64 bit and I use Windows Media Center as my core TV interface (guide and all). The machine is set to go to sleep by itself if no activity (and TV it's the only thing designed and intended to do and the only thong it does) is detected on the tuner for 5 minutes. This works flawlesly and always did while on Comcast service.
Now, the problem: you put the Actiontech router in the network (regardless of whether it's before or after the firewall gateway) and the machine fails to go to sleep. The router introduces some dort of chatter in the networkk that keeps the HDD active and the computer alive in perpetuity. Did anyone notice anything similar? What is your experience with this?
Obviously, I have no intent to keep the Actiontech router in the network under such conditions. For what I know, it is illegal in fact to put out products that send unsolicited traffic through one's network. Not to mention that it is a security risk. Might Verizon re-consider their insistence on deciding what routers to support and what don't or simply drop all support for all the routers since none is ever really needed? They only have the job to deliver a public IP to my equipment and I should be left alone otherwise (according to FCC). Which they otherwise fail to do by putting a piece of equipment that is theirs in the way and mandating that I use it, since 192.168.x.x is NOT a public IP, according to Internet Council.

Actiontec responded to my inquiry. See below.
It turns out it's another Verizon problem...
"Honestly no idea what would cause the chatter on the network to prevent sleep\stand-by to function.
Verizon would have to review the issue and see what in the code programming would cause this."
Stop the chatter. Put your Media Center hardware behind another firewall. Like I said mine is Linux IP-COP, which constanty drops these trash packets from the single STB I have on the MOCA COAX.
All from the Verizon network router. Almost like a broadcast storm!
This is a Motorola STB, My Cisco had two real IP addresses asigned by DHCP, and they did not do this. I turned in all my STB hardware and ordered a single STB, and was sent Motorola when I had been using Cisco.
wan-1 in into my Linux box and lan-1 is out of it. Then all my harware which includes Media Center PCs are gigabit switches, not exposed to this. I guess you could use another router and not a Linux PC. This STB is going back soon.
