Geforce4 Ti4400 Compatibility Problems

My new (expensive!) G4Ti4400 is giving me grief. X(
I have tried it in 4 PC's. It works in 1 of them, and gives me the same symptoms in the other 3.
I have taken it back to the retailer, who won't exchange it because it works on his testbed.
The symptoms are -
Corrupt characters in text mode (BIOS screen for example)
Yellow and red lines (in a repeated pattern) on windows 98 loading screen
Patterns of red blocks on windows desktop
I have tried removing all other cards (and even disabled IDE channels) to solve the problem to no avail.
Motherboards/PC's with problem -
1. Athlon XP 1700 on Elite K7S5A (latest bios installed)
2. Pentium III 750Mhz on ASUS CUV4X-E (100Mhz Bus)
3. Dell Dimension 4300 P4 at 1.7Ghz
PC that worked
1. HP Brio BA410 - Pentium III 800E
Please, please help me out ! :(

When I first had that problem, the local technical support sent me this article:
Hardware.fr has posted two short articles about problems many MSI Pro2 owners are encountering when they've placed a GF4 MX based card in their system. The first article. They were unable to get MSI's KT266A-based K7T Pro2 to boot with either Sparkle's or Leadtek's GF4 MX based cards, yet both components would function with other configuurations.
The second article where a reader tested a variety of mainboards with his Leadtek GF4 MX. His test was very thorough, trying a variety of different motherboard chipsets.
Yet this odd bug seems to be fine with other combinations as a PixelView GF4 MX card has been reported to work with the MSI Pro2. Gainward's and PNY's cards fail to boot 10 to 20% of the time too. Hardware.fr experienced no problems with Abit's GF4 MX on the Pro2.
So Leadtek, Sparkle, Gainward, MSI, PNY and PixelView cards have reported some problems with the Pro2 while Abit's card has yet to experience a bott failure.
The above text was all translated from http://www.harware.fr
I'm lucky enough to have an MSI Pro2 in my main system (not that lucky actually . I've been experiencing failed boots with my eVGA MX 440 and Creative MX 440 as well. From the wealth of info becomming available, it seems like all the blame rests in MSI's court. MSI do something!!!
I do not agree to the conclusion, but certainly there is a problem.
I guess I was lucky to solve it. At least for the moment, because I need to install a new sound card.
Hey, Jmedic, please forgive my ignorance, but what is a mini level?

GeForce4 Ti4400 - various problems

I have been having various problems with my card. These include: Pausing for several seconds (like a lock up) then reverting to vga mode; complete freeze where I have to reset the computer; red lines and dots that fill the screen sporadically; a blank screen appears for 2-3 seconds and then back to normal.
In all cases I have to reboot to correct. Sometimes rebooting does not help. The red lines and dots return even on the posting screen. When this happens Windows/XP doesn't even start.
I have to powerthe machine off and let it sit for awhile and then turn it back on.
I'm using the latest driver from the MSI website:
nv4_disp Version 6.13.10.3100
VBA bios info: 4.25.00.22.44
I have a Gigabyte GA7VRXP MB, AMD 1800+ cpu, 512MB pc2700 memory from Samsung, HP cd-writer, lg dvd-rom drive, and 40Gb Maxtor hard drive.
This is all in an antec case Plus880 with true 430 ps
I also get a windows/xp dump file in: windows\logfiles\watchdog Here is what is in there:

I have 98SE so I don't know much about XP, but the artifacts you're seeing and the way it sometimes needs to be left off for a while makes it sound almost like it's overheating, because I had similar screwups when I overclocked another vidcard a few years back too much.
Check the fan on the card to see if it's running and make sure it's getting good ventilation (the card might be too close to another card on the board). If you have access to it, some of that cooling spray they have for testing electronics (might check Radio Shack or a PC store) might help show if it's temp-related or not.
And if you're running an overclock utility, try resetting to card defaults for a while. Running it past a certain point will screw it up even if you have it sitting in a freezer for cooling! :^)
Good luck.

MSI GeForce4 MX4000 compatability problems

Hi there. I have purchased a MSI MX4000-T128 card and it doesn't seem to be working properly. Some games have flashes on the graphics or the colours don't work. Any suggestions.

As it happens only on some games, you might want to try asking on the official forums for those games.
BTW, if you're installing "new" video drivers, you should always uninstall the old ones first. Never try installing the new ones over the old ones. I assume you checked the version numbers?

Lock-Ups and Restarts with Geforce4 Ti4400

Hi,
I've been having this problem for quite a while now during 3d games.
My setup is:
Gigabyte GA7VRXP
AMD Athlon 2000+
MSI Geforce4 Ti4400
I guess the rest is irrelevant.
Please help, Thanks,
Eyal Ben David

PSU=Power Supply unit
Who made it?
On it there should be a label with some numbers. on that label there should be the correct numbers for the 3.3V line and the 5V line(celarly stated on the label). There should also be a combined power statement on that very same label. The 3.3V and the 5V are measured in amps.

Geforce4 ti4400 slow

I just got a msi geforce4 ti4400, installed it and even downloaded the latest drivers.
System is WindowsXP Pro.
MSI 850 pro with 512 rdram
1.6 ghz processor intel
I had a geforce2 gts and it gave me benchmarks much higher then my geforce4.
I benchmark Quake2, Halflife, all run very slow compared to my geforce2.
Help, I didn't spend all that money to get a slower vid card!!!!
theo

Obviosly the Ti4400 should be much faster so there is a problem.
A few things to check:
-Set the AGP apature size to 128MB
-Disable AntiAliasing during benchmarking
-Use 29.42 official drivers
-Refresh rate set too low and Vsync is active.
-850Pro (MS6339) had an original AMI bios that was very slow compaired with the later Award bios.

Are There Compatability Problems Wtih Adobe Photoshop CS2 On The Windows Portion of iMac?

I understand that there are compatability problems with CS2 and lower vesions of the creative suite in relation to Leoapard OSX. Are there any compatability problems with CS2 for Windows if I install it on the Windows (using XP) partition of an iMac that uses the Leopard OSX?
Please advise. Thanks.

If its not running in Leopard you should be fine.
don't confuse running PowerPC software in Rosetta (PPC emulation) with running CS2 in XP which is native. It like apples and oranges. there is nothing in common.

Replacing Firefox 3.6.16 containing my history, bookmarks etc by version 4.0, I find that it will not open on my Mac Power PC G4 running on OS 10.4.11. Is there is a compatibility problem and how do I retrieve version 3.6 with my bookmarks etc

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
When you install one of the above it will use your existing bookmarks etc

Wierd monitor compatibility problem

Hi all,
Got a wierd monitor compatibility problem. G3 works fine on a sony 21" CRT.
Connected it to a Daytec 15" CRT which works fine with a windows 98 PC.
With the G3 I get the apple and the spinning up logo then the screen just goes blank.
Is this monitor PC only or something? It is an old monitor but I thought any monitor should work
if the vga connector fits?

So you are using this directly plugged into the stock Display card in a Blue & White G3 with NO adapter?
The Mac is probably still set for a higher resolution that the SONY can do, and has not noticed the display has changed.
Video pros says that Video can be plugged and unplugged all day long with no bad effects. If your old display is still around, try setting it to 640 by 480, save changes, and swap the other one in "live" at that resolution.
Other tricks:
Reset the PRAM. This will send you back to a default setting while booting up, but may change when the system becomes active.
Boot from a CD. This ignores the settings on your Hard drive, and boots to a very simple resolution like 640 by 480 to ensure that Most Macs can start up with it.

Windows Media Player 11 is needed for video on fav website, but version for firefox isn't working. Is this a compatability problem with Windows 7?

Shockwave player updates: graphics card compatibility problems?

I've recently had a new problem reported to me in the Driveway Visualiser, a piece of Shockwave 3D content that I've been maintaining since we built it in 2008. I'm wondering if recent updates to the Shockwave Plugin (e.g. 11.5.8.612) may be contributing to this...
www.marshalls.co.uk/transform/driveway_visualiser/dv.asp
So I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had any new problems affecting old content. I tried reverting the dcr file to last year's version but the same problem still occurs, so it doesn't seem to be a recently-added bug in my code. I think it could be either a compatibility problem between the graphics card and the plugin, or between the Director 11.0 dcr and the Shockwave 11.5 web player.
Because we need the DirectImage Xtra, it's Windows only. For each different computer that we've tested, the Driveway Visualiser (DV) will either always work or always fail on that machine - regardless of whether IE or Firefox is used. All the test machines have DirectX 9.0c; all are running Win XP SP3 apart from one laptop with SP2 and Intel 965 chipset on which the DV fails. Only one has Director (11.0) installed, and on that the DV always works. The problem is much more common on laptops, so we reckon that Shockwave's ability to interface with the various graphics cards might be the reason why it's not getting the image property of a 3D cast member.
So here's what's actually happening:
When you get to step 4 of the DV, after you've drawn round the shape of your driveway, it tries to grab the image of a 3D cast member referred to by the variable gWorldMember, and fails with the "four parameters expected" error message, on this line of code...
zoomAfterImage.copyPixels(gWorldMember.image, zoomAfterImage.rect, gWorldMember.image.rect)
gWorldMember.image is being returned as <image:0> (not a usuable image) and so its rect property does not exist, hence the crash. This line of code crashes whether or not there's a sprite of the relevant 3D member on the stage at the time. The member's defaultRect has been temporarily changed so we can grab a 1024x1024 image off it. Using copyPixels, this image is resized down to the size of the zoomAfterImage image variable (again 450x450). This gives us an image at the original size of 450x450, but with a softer image quality than if we'd grabbed it from the 3D member at that size.
Is anyone suffering similar problems or aware of what Adobe has been changing in the player? At the moment I just don't see how I can fix this by changing my code...

I had wondered if there was a clash between the Director 11.0 dcr and the Shockwave 11.5 player, so I downloaded the Director 11.5 trial and re-published it using that.
It didn't make any difference, so I'm left with my original suspicion that Shockwave is failing to interface with certain graphics hardware setups via directX, when it tries to read the image property of a 3D cast member.

Compatibility problem with macro media flash active control

I am getting a message on my screen "compatibility problem with macro media flash active control, it isnt compatible with my version of windows (vista). How can this be fixed? why am I suddenly getting it now? I have the latest Adobe flash player installed.
Trisha

the latest flash is probably the problem... it's seems that the latest flash has been causing a boat load of issues. i did a system restore to undo the flash and mozilla upgrades and it's still crashing but not as bad as it was with the upgrades.
