GF4 Ti4200 TV-Out Adapter problem

I just bought a 4200 MSI card used but the TV-Out adapter that came with it doesn't seem to fit into the card. There's a black piece of plastic in the middle of the adapter preventing it from fitting into the TV-out port.
Seems that it would fit if that piece of plastic wasn't there. Just wondering if this is the wrong adapter he sent me or was a recall problem within MSI. Thanks for any help.

I just recently connected a tv to my card (G4Ti4200) also, and had the same prob...your card should have come with an adapter of sorts. Its a y connector, the single end connects to your vid card, it looks like a ps/2 connection similar the a mouse...then on the other side one of the two connecters stemming from the single, is an s-video connector. Umm I dont know if that'll help ya but ... Good luck with it

Gf4 Ti4200 8x With Vivo Problem

ok my problem is that I can't play any games now and it used to work fine before that thing that I notice today was that the adapter info window displays 16mb instead of 128mb and some games like halo they don'y like that so they don't allow you to run the game I am not sure what to do so if anyone has any info please reply here
here is a picture of what I am talking about
and I also check the irq interrut and there is nothing that is conflicting with the card . thanks in advance :(

I had a similar problem with my new 5900 Ultra VTD256. The driver said 128Meg of RAM even though I had 256Meg. I installed several versions of the Detonator drivers and none worked. Finally, I found a beta of the Det 52.13 drivers and it cleared up all my problems! They're also much faster in Halo. You can find them here:

GF4 Ti4200 and Win98 - HELP ! serious problem with drivers !

Ok, I could successfully install the MSI GF4 Ti4200 128 in Windows 2000, no problem there, everything is working.
I then installed Win98 as a second OS, I launch the drivers setup (from MSI CD) and I reboot as wanted by the setup. The PC reboots, the Win98 screen appears and suddenly...it reboots by itself, no message, no black screen. I tried with other driver versions from NVidia and this time, I get a freezed black screen after the Win98 screen, I must press reset. I had to enter the safe-mode to remove the drivers and get the usual 640x480 in 16 colors.
What's going on ? I tried to change my bios parameters, disable the virus detection option, everything that could make problems ... but no success. I also tried a second Win98 installation, with DX 8.1 installed before the drivers but still the same problem.
My system is AMD XP 2100 with Asus A7V333 motherboard - 300W for power, is the problem caused by some VIA chips ? I tried with their 4-1 drivers and stuff on the CD but it really doesn't want to work.
Please help...

after searching a bit on the forum, I found a thread where someone pointed out a problem caused by memory, greets to him. I have 1 gb of ram and I added these lines to my system.ini :
[vcache]
MinFileCache=65536
MaxFileCache=131072
ChunkSize=2048
NameCache=4096
DirectoryCache=96
ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1
Values may change with more/less memory...And now it works perfectly in Win98.

Nvidia GF4 Ti4200 Driver problems!!!

I have built up a new system with the following:
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
nVIDIA GF4 Ti4200 128mb DDR
AMD XP2400+
512MB 333 DDR
PSU 350W
WD 80GB Caviar (partitioned)
Thermaltake Volcano 9 HSF
I have installed XP-PRO (+SP1). The problem I have is the drivers. First off I install the nFORCE 2 platform drivers - Fine, then I install the VGA Driver disc 40.72's. According to the installation, all is fine. When the system reboots, we have a no go (blank screen). I then need to go back to last known settings....yeah, yeah!
So far I have downloaded nearly all the drivers off the Nvidia site as well, using my other PC. (1MB CABLE). Each one cause pretty much the same problem, including all the WHQL versions.
I even downloaded the Nvidia nFORCE 2 platform package, which included a VGA driver. This still caused the same result.
My next step was to swap over with my other PC. Once I inserted a GeForce2 64MB DDR PRO/GTS, all appears fine, the drivers install...no problem.
I insert the GF4 Ti4200 into my ECS K7S5A, and low and behold all is fine here.....drivers, no problems.
Any idea's......anyone??????
Like compatibility problem or what..... I'm totally lost and confused now!!
MARKONE.

No, Markone from UK, novice PC builder..... :D
Borgstif:
"uninstall the driver in safe mode and the Reg entry in WinXp "
Explain exactly what you mean, I can choose start up in safe mode yes, but what will that do for me??
gfilitti:
Not sure exactly what specs you want? this is my first build ever. The PSU is a bog standard fitment inside an ATX Case, not a separate fitment. Can you be more specific about "timing etc..."
The Ti4200 is working fine in my less advanced ECS K7S5A machine......with 300W PSU.
And likewise the Nforce 2 machine operates my Geforce 2 GTS/PRO also with no problems.

Problem w/GF4 Ti4200 vtd-8x

I had problems with my new MSI GF4 Ti4200 vtd-8x 128mb running on a 648 Max mobo. The mobo supports agp 8x but both riva tuner and display properties showed it running on agp 4x. I would really appreciate any help I can get.

Try updating both mobo and VGA card drivers.
Do clean un-installation before installing new VGA driver...
All the Best... :D !!!

GF4 Ti4200-VTD64 Video-Out/In?

I was wondering if the TV-Out socket on my GF4 Ti4200-VTD64 could be used as a Video-In socket. I am going to be in college, so I won't have a TV and a DVD player, but I will have my Playstation2. I was wondering if I could connect that to my TV-Out socket and use my monitor as a 'TV'. What software would I need to do this, if possible?

himenohogosha,
I do not heard of anyone being able to do that. You would need to have circuitry on the Video Card to do that which to my knowledge is not here.
Take Care,
Richard

GF4 TI4200 BSOD Dilemma - Please help!

Greetings gurus and fellow frustrated gamers. I purchased MSI's GF4 TI4200 about a year ago and have been putting up with a problem I thought was related to other components for a long time. Every single 3D graphics game I play in windows XP will eventually and utterly crash with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) which relates always to the nv4_dsp.dll file which is Nvidia's driver. I have tried 12 drivers...MSI/NVidia/experimental with no change. With help from the folks on the forum I replaced the PSU with an Antec 400w with no change. I have tried my old Geforce2 MX400 with the same problem. I have reformatted the computer 8 times and removed every single additional component except what was required to test my problem. I just purchased Star Wars Galaxies and am now crashing 8-15 times a day. I generally go 20-30 minutes between crashes. This is no longer acceptable. I have received this crash on Warcraft III, WC3:TFT, Neverwinter Nights, SWG, Black & White, and many more.
I have found through search engines that this has something to do with some Windows XP systems and Nvidia drivers and is an issue that does not have a fix. I am hoping that you can offer something that I can do to fix this problem.
Before you ask...this has nothing to do with any other component in my computer. It is not heat, the psu, the motherboard, the memory, the hard drives, etc. I have replaced every single piece in this computer and it still occurs. Check out this link for an example of someone else with the same problem: Similar Problem or use a search engine and type: nv4 blue screen. You will see what I mean...this is happening to tons of people.
My question: Is there a fix?
Any help is most appreciated. If there is not a fix, ATI is my only direction I can take.

Richard,
Well you are right about it not using IRQ 5, however, it is not conflicting with any other IRQ that I can see. The view under resources by connection reads:
(ISA) 0 System Timer
(ISA) 3 Communications Port(COM2)
(ISA) 4 Communications Port(COM1)
(ISA) 6 Standard floppy disk controller
(ISA) 8 System CMOS/real time clock
(ISA)11 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
(ISA)13 Numeric data processor
(ISA)14 Primary IDE Channel
(ISA)15 Secondary IDE Channel
(PCI) 5 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
(PCI) 5 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
(PCI)16 NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200
(PCI)17 Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
(PCI)18 Wireless-G PCI Adapter
(PCI)19 Creative SB Live! Series (WDM)
Please advise. Thank you for the response.

Where to find TV-out adapter?

I've been looking online for a week straight trying to find ANYTHING that will work in the TV out of my gf4 ti4200 64mb card. Im desperate, if anyone knows anything about trying to get one of these, plz let me know!! Thanks!

Thanks "some body" but that's not what I want. I want the finished product.
I wish you luck in finding it - have a search through all these forums and see how many posts you find asking where they can get these cables, and see then how long the same people have been asking the question.
I have this card now, i cannot buy a cable for it (it seems), but i don't want to have to bin the card (and therefore the money i spent on it - ebay purchase where the orignal owner didn't have the cable either), so this is one way i can 'rescue' the situation.
Rest assured i will not be buying MSI again in the future (and it seems nor will other people in the same position as me)...

Does exist the MSI GF4 TI4200 VTP8X?

Hello, I live in Spain and I go to adquire a MSI graphics card. I'll buy a GF4 TI4200 VTP 8X, but I think that model doesn't exist because in the oficcial page not appear, only appears the TD 8X and the VTD 8X models. But in http://www.alternate.net that model exist! What happen? Exist or not exist?
Thank you very much !!!
P.D. Sorry for my English, it isn't very well

I had the same problem with my MSI G4 Ti4200-VTD8X.
I did the same manual loading of the capture program. Didn't work. Look in control panel under your hardware and see if there is a yellow "!" next to the part that mentions "capture." Every time that was there the in didn't work.
I would uninstall and try it again.
Sometimes it would work for the day. I would even shut the computer off and when I would turn it back on, it would still work. Shut it off for the night and the next day it wouldn't work again! Go figure!!! Do a restore to the point where I shut the computer off for the night, and it still wouldn't work.
I believe it worked for good when I loaded the 4072 drivers. I did not install the manual program (I think - I did so many un/installs I can't be sure). Now the funny thing, those other little installs are not in my harware. But it works. I can't explain this.
Basically, uninstall the whole card driver , not just the capture. Reinstall the card driver without that other manual capture program. Just keep trying installing and uninstalling and checking out WinProducer to see if the capture option is there. If it still doesn't, try the manual capture program. Just keep trying different combinations.
Sorry that this isn't more of a step by step, but it worked for me. Hopefully MSI will put out another driver soon that will fix this once and for all.

GF4 Ti42000 TV-Out trouble, avi, mpeg

Hello,
I have a problem with playing media files. My TV-Out picture is good but when I try to use Windows Media Player the media file playing will not show on the TV. (i.e. avi, mpeg). The same thing happens when I run WinProducer (provided by MSI) or DivX Player.
Quick Time works just fine.
I'd like to blame MS but I don't believe that's true here. What is really the problem and better, what's the solution? The picture on my computer monitor is just fine.
Thanks for your help.

It sounds like something went wrong during the burning of the DVD, and that could be many things. Have you successfully burned a DVD before? You might want to try the iDVD forums to see if they have any hints.
Unfortunately, your 800 MHz G4 is going to be really slow doing video compression. There are some things that you could do like maxing out your memory and upgrading your video card (so that the CPU doesn't have to render your screen along with compressing video) but these still won't make your computer a blazing fast system for video (might not be worth the cost to you). You can also try making sure that you don't do anything else with the computer.
Since it's taking an exceedingly long time to try the compression and view the results, it would probably be advantageous to find a small QuickTime clip on the web and use it in your tests...like some trailers for instance. It's still going to take awhile to render, but at least then you'll get to the point of errors in 4 hours instead of 12 or 28. Once you're successful with a few QuickTime clips, then cut the .AVI clip down to a minute and see if that works. At this point, you'll be able to compare successes and determine where the problem might be.
At the point in the video where you notice the squares, press space to stop, then use the left and right arrow keys to examine frame by frame to see if it's just that your video card is having a problem handling the video when it's running full speed (if it's clear frame by frame, then it'll make a good DVD). I wouldn't change the settings in iSquint yet until we determine if there's a real quality problem.

Slow gf4 Ti4200

I'm having a problem with my gf4 Ti4200. It runs at slow framerates even at lower resolution and graphics during games. Ive tested with Nightfire and UT2003 and my friends PC with gf2 runs better. Its in 4x mode and ive been told about dma. whats dma?
Are there any other suggestions anyone has that may increase my gf4's performance?

Im beginning to lose my patience with this machine. Im not very technical with a computer so i really need your help. Ive managed to pin point the problem with 3Dmark2001. The highpolygon test with 8 lights shows the same problem i have with direct3D games, a very stunted (unsmooth) movement and i get 9.0Mtriangles/sec (Not sure if thats good or bad).
Ive looked at other threads, and one struck me as odd about installing a new mouse seemed to interfer with the video card. The link is here and its the third post down:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/...10433boardid=9
It sounded like he was having the same problem as me, and i have recently installed a new mouse and keyboard but hadn't registered that this could be a problem.
I was hoping i had an incorrect direct3D setting or something to do wiht multilights or multipolygons. Opengl works fine, its just the direct3D. Im struggling here. Can someone please help me.

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
