GF4 Ti4200-VTP 8x (MS-8889) Hardware monitoring support?

hi all,
I'm having problems with the 3D turbo experience software and also the problem with the display settings tabs (desk.cpl error message when trying to view the MSI tabs)
so my question does the MS-8889 support the hardware monitoring function? its not on the list posted in the sticky thread.......
what I found for the desk.cpl problem is that if I go to:
Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Adapter > Properties and then try the MSI tab it will show the tab but with incorrect information, fx memory
on the Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Adapter tab memory etc is displayed correctly.
Win2000, clean install from scratch using latest MSI driver (41.07)

That information is in the first post in the BULLETIN sticky thread at the top of this forum.
Usually it's a good idea to take a look at the sticky posts when coming to a forum.
The Bulletin will change as I add bits of info
That information is NOT in the sticky BULLETIN, and if you would have read my post wich is usually a good idea for a forum moderator before replying and slagging off a forum newbie, you would have seen that I did read the BULLETIN.
as stated in my original post, my card (MS-8889) is not listed in the list of cards in the BULLETIN, does that mean that my card does not exist or doesnt MSI know whether or not it supports hardware monitoring?
rigorous says that he has the same card and that he got the hardware monitoring to work with v2.11 of the SW on a machine running XP, I have tried with XP and v. 2.11 with and without SP1 and also with v. 2.13 but still can not get this to work on my machine, I have also downloaded all updates from MS but still to no avail.
also updated to latest version of IE and the Macromedia flash player still no go.
same thing with latest NVidia drivers 43.45
if rigorous has this working in XP as he says he does and I have no reason to doubt him it would indicate that the hardware does support hardware monitoring so that would indicate that it is a problem with the software, does anyone know what the reqirements of the SW is?

640x480 and above, capture with MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP

could anyone successfully perform this operation ?
The weird thing is that if I set a capture of something like 5 fps in VirtualDub and 640x480 (I tried with several codecs and thought that decreasing the fps would improve the bandwidth usage), it still doesn't want to capture anything -> 0 frames. The maximum I can get (15% frames lost) is 320x200 at 30 fps. I tried to capture directly to memory as it's supposed to be very fast, no luck.
Maybe my system is not monster enough, don't know.... ?( Or could that be the card which is limited for this ?
MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP - 1 gig RAM (DDR 333), Athlon XP 2100, IBM ICL35 120 GB - OS : W2K.
WDM 1.16 from MSI-CD. I tried with WDM 1.08 too.

your system is fine for this kind of job....
i have no problem in capturing full pal (768x...) in 30 fps (using included wincoder and mpeg1 or mpeg2 codecs) 60% cpu load on duron @1380
virtual bud will need somethong better then 1,3gh duron but i got no problems with 640x480 divx pro 5.02 25fps on my current sysetm (but the cpu load is high 75-90%) (0% frame lost)
some motion codecs (mjpg) will need both fast cpu and fast hdd....
uncompresed will produce so much data that even very fast hdd's will by to slow
but it is in fact weird 15% frame lost on 320x200 is much to high.. what board are u using?? are the latest 4in1 drivers instaled (very important for w2k) by shure that agpx4 and bus mastering are on... are u using any other extensin cards (tv tuner, off board sound, ide, lan??) if yes try removing them

MSI GF4 Ti4200 Video-in/capture on secondary monitor.???

Hi,
I have an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X (dual head, Video I/O). I am running it in dual monitor setup. When i try to view the video input on the secondary monitor i get the message:
"due to limitations of your computer's display device, this video can only play back on one of your monitors. please move the video window completely onto that monitor"
Does anyone know if this is a driver problem? or really it is a limitation with the card?. though i do not know why would the card be able to view the video capture window on one monitor but not the other?.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
L.
P.S.: system:
MSI T14200-VTD8X 128m
ASUS A7v8x Mobo
512M RAM
Win XP

Yes, I am using NVidia's nView as well as their WDM drivers. my dual monitor support seems to work fine.
Only if i want to see video input feed using something like win_DVR or Win_VCR or even Win_Producer that i get this message if the software/input winodow was on the secondary monitor.
Any help would be appriciated :D

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 Ti4200-VTD8X(8894) and Live update 2.0

Hello all
Recendly i bought this graphic card (i mention on the subject). It's much faster than the Asus GF2 Ti i had before and all are working properly except of the updating program called Live update 2.0. I installed it and when i got connected to the server it announced me that the version running on the server is newer than mine and it gave me the option to update it as i did. When i reconnected to the server and asked for updates about my card's bios or driver it gives me the message that my graphic card isn't from MSI. The utility option works fine but as you can understand isn't the important one. As i was ecpecting the same results i got from the live monitor too.
So i would like to ask the moderators of this forum or anyone who could know:
1) Is my graphic card [MSI GF4Ti 4200 VTD8X (8894) 128 MB] combatible with the Live update utility 2.0 or not? The 3D turbo experience utility works fine on my pc.
2)If i update the VGA bios and driver of my graphic card manualy (without the live update utility) from the MSI web site will i still have the tabs "MSI information" and "MSI clock" on my display properties?
Thanks in advance

I recently built a system (specs below) and installed this card (MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X MS8894, 128MB DDR), and when I try to use Live Update 2 (version 3.33.000, from the CD that came with the card), I get the same message:
"Warning!!! Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function. Note: MSI Live Update 2 supports the Display Cards of MSI only."
I'm using the drivers/BIOS that came on the CD: Driver version 6.13.10.4107, BIOS version 4.28.20.05.11. I see on the nVidia site that they have the 4109 drivers out now, should I try those? ?(
I have also made sure to do the suggested modifications to IE (and I don't have PC-cillin installed):
"Note: In order to operate this application properly, please note the following suggests.
-Set the IE security setting 'Download signed ActiveX controls' to [Enable] or [Prompt]. (System default is [Prompt]).
-Disable 'WebTrap' of PC-cillin(R) or any web based anti-virus application when executing MSITM Live Update 2TM.
-Update Microsoft® Windows® Installer"
I downloaded a newer version of LIveUpdate (3.35.000), and installed it (after completely uninstalling the old version), and got the same results. Nothing on my system is currently overclocked.

GF4 Ti4200/Vivo - Video capture pauses

Hi All,
Did a search and could not find anything on this topic.
When capturing video from S-Video input, the video is not smooth. Getting momentary 'pauses' that leads to very jerky video on playback. I've checked the 'smooth video' option, but to no avail.
System specs:
MSI (oem'd Medion) MS-8889 GF4 TI4200 128MB Video card

Any help would be appreciated.
TIA,

Well, I tried capturing with Virtualdub and it works much better (no pauses or stutters). But there is a fairly large number of dropped frames (about 20% dropped).
I've taken all of the standard steps to avoid dropped frames....no network access (no netowrk plugged in), no TSRs running, no antivirus, running with DMA enabled, hard disk is de-fragged (although I am running with a single hdd partitioned into 3 logical drives. CPU is a P4-2.66Mhz, so there's plenty of horsepower. The video card is an MSI-8889 (GF4 TI4200 8x w/128MB) ViVo. O/S is XP. Mobo is an MSI-6701 (SiS Chipset).
I believe the Vivo is stricly software capture, so the results are directly related to the software used for capture.
Can anyone recommend (or use) another capture product for this type of card (with good results)?
TIA,
SteveK

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

Please read the following diagnostics of hardware monitor for my system Macbook Pro

Following report was generated through "HARDWARE MONITOR" software run on my Macbook Pro:

CPU A temperature during system check was 75 degrees.
please suggest me if it is ok for my new system and whether it would be advisible to use software like "Hardware monitor" to generate such reports intermittantly or there is any other alternative

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Temperatures are normal, so your MacBook Pro is working correctly. Fans will turn on automatically when temperature is high, so don't worry about that. If you see that fans don't turn on, reply back because it would be a hardware problem

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.

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

LCD display for Hardware Monitor?

Hardware Monitor...
http://www.bresink.com/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
...supports certain external, USB-based LCD displays for providing system status. Is anyone using one?
Can anyone recommend a nice, already-assembled unit to set on the desk here? Thanks.
blakespot

Sadly none of the above unit will work w/ Hardware Monitor.
I just received this email from the author after inquiring about the above displays compatibility w/ Hardware Monitor:
Unfortunately, these vendors are completely unknown in Europe and
they only offer drivers for Windows, so no support for these modules
is possible so far.
If not, is there a ready-made, external (already in a little
enclosure) unit that does?
No, I am currently not aware of any ready-made units. Unfortunately
the market for these devices seems to be so small that no worldwide
vendor has established an industry standard yet, or could provide
an open software layer for Mac OS X. When such a solution exists, we
will immediately support it in Hardware Monitor.
For more information about LCD unit support please see the chapter
"Controlling external alphanumeric displays" in the reference manual
of Hardware Monitor.

Hardware Monitor Setup Freeze (K7T266Pro2) [SOLVED]

1.Product Type: K7T 266 Pro2 (6380 v2)
2.BIOS version: AMI V3.70
3.External VGA Type: ATI Radeon VE 7000 AGP 128Mo
4.CPU Type: Athlon XP 1600+
5.Memory Type: 2*256 Mo DDR PC2100 PQI
6.Power Supply Type: Heden PSXA870 380W with -5V output
7.Operating System: Win XP Pro Sp2
8.Problem Description:
When accessing to hardware monitor setup page in BIOS, I get a freeze that I can olny escape by Ctrl Alt Suppr.
I have made an update of Bios to V3.70 because a new module of memory I have bought make problems. This update do not change anything, so I remove this new module and don't use anymore.
But by updating, my CPU clock down to 1050 Mhz instead of 1333Mhz, due to FSB set to 100Mhz.
And impossible to access the page to set the parameter at 133Mhz due to a freeze.
How to solve the problem and get back the right configuration I had before ?
I have read that the problem may come from the power supplies that don't have -5V. I don't know what produce my PS, but how to prevent BIOS to check this -5V ?
EDIT : I have check my PS and it produce -5V.
Many thanks for your hlep.
Regards.
OLIVIER THIEBAUT

Merry Chrismas everydody.
Back with happy news :
- I have flash with v3.7 : flash OK
- Still getting the problem : hardware monitor page setup freeze, and unable to set FSB to 133Mhz and get the right CPU clock.
So, my solution :
- Looking for editing the AMI Bios file.
- I have load v3.70 Bios file in editor, and only change one parameter : I have set not active the -5V check in hardware monitor module.
- Save my new bios file (called it v3.71)
- Then, flash with that edited bios file
- And manage to access the Hardware Monitor Setup page to set the FSB at 133Mhe. No more freeze.
I don't know how to call this type of solution, but it works well.
For moderators, you can modify the subject by adding [solved] if you want.
Many thanks for everybody.
