Just a few quirks with MSI-Radio...

Well, I just lost my stereo reciever...Looks like I'll be forced to turn to headphones and MSI-Radio
First of all, the signal bar is fine grandour except that it sucks...Sometimes it shows no signal and sounds fine. Whats up with that?
Second, more importantly...I close MSI Radio, and it won't shut up...For some reason it refuses to cut the signal when closing it (Maybe I'll just be forced to manually unplug it from the back of comp)
Third, some idiot installed ad-ware on my comp!!!  #$@#!!!  "Ad-aware" doesn't seem to detect it and "spy-bot search and destroy" detects Hot-bar but can't remove it...What to do...
**Well, looks like I'll get the reciever back**
 ;-))Might as well fix it anyways though, can't stand have anything imperfect about my comp...  

#2 is about the only one I can offer any advice on.  First of all, I'd go to Download -> Multimedia -> TV@nywhere Master and make sure that I had the latest version of the TV@nywhere Master Driver and MSI Radio.
Secondly, you could probably silence MSI Radio by opening the Windows volume control (or whatever it's called in your version of windows) and muting whatever input you're using to feed sound from the TV@nywhere Master to your sound card.  On my system MSI Radio will actually un-mute Line In when I run it and re-mute when I exit.
Thirdly, when MSI Radio does misbehave and not shut up on exit, I can usually get it to hush by running and then exiting MSI PVS aka WinDVR.
Fourthly, I've noticed that my MSI Radio only fails to shut up if I click the Settings button while it is running.  Once I get the settings set, it doesn't give my any more problems as long as I can resist doublechecking my settings.
Correction: one problem.  It always mutes my master recording balance when it runs, meaning that anything I record with MSI Radio or PVS will be nothing but silence.  I have no idea what that's about.

  • Just a few quirks on Import from Elements and Keywords.

    The Import from Elements seems like a good idea but the implementation is a little 'hit and miss'.
    Tags in Elements (the Keywords) are not always picked up in LR. I can't work out what works and what doesn't but some Tags and the Tag Hierarchy come over correctly and some don't.
    Version sets from Elements seem to be ignored. I suspects Stacks will as well.
    Also I'm finding the use of Keywords a little restrictive in LR now that I have to sort out my imported images.
    1. I'd like to be able to delete an Image when I have selected it by keyword - (yes Sid did provide a work around, thanks) but it really should just be a question of hitting delete.
    2. I'd like to be able to stack images when I have selected them by keyword. You can't do this unless you go to Folder View or All Photographs.
    I kind of get the impression that the way in LR works is great if you are going forward from a clean install. That is downloading images, reviewing, culling and organising. However, if you have an existing database to straighten out, then LR needs a little bit of polish to make this process easier.

  • Whats with this here? (MSI Radio)

    Well I was playing with MSI Radio, and heres a screen shot I managed to get:
    But anyways, Why the option of AM vs FM? Is there an MSI product that supports this? Just a question...

    And I was wondering why my copy of MSI Radio did not have the AM/FM option on the program skin.
    The last update for the TV @nywhere Master MSI Radio program was posted on the MSI site in Oct of 2003. If that's the program you downloaded in the last four months, we have the same most current program. Your's has the AM/FM buttons (clickable or not), mine doesn't. I was just trying to figure out what the diff was. You indicated that you were "playing" with the MSI Radio. I thought that maybe while you were "playing" you turned on something that was reflected in the options on the skin.
    Another possibility was that you downloaded a version of the MSI Radio program designed for the MSI MEGA product line, some of which supports both AM/FM. If that were the case, you would not have downloaded the MSI Radio program from the MSI TV @nywhere Master driver/program update URL.

  • After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But wont work anywhere now

    After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But won't work anywhere now.  I tried re-setting but has not worked.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio won't connect on USB! Brand new from a box !!!

    hello,
    i'm having trouble connecting MSI MEGA 533 with FM Radio, on usb port on my computer.
    I've tried to connect it on USB 2.0 port on laptop and desktop computer, with MS Windows XP SP2 installed, nothing happens. When I start player it works like a charm, i can listen to radio stations, record radio station, and record voice, but when i try to connect it to USB via cable from a box nothing happens.
    I've tried to downgrade it to firmware version from cd, with a standard procedure, hold play button, start download software, connect via usb cable, and the player is not detected by computer.
    PLEASE if there is a way you can help post your reply as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    Hi gagac
    Try uninstalling the current driver on your computer and download the following driver.
    http://rapidshare.de/files/20262928/MS5533.zip.html
    This driver is a backup copy that I uploaded on rapidshare from my Original CD Rom that came with my player & I know that it works with firmware v1.00.06. 
    What I find is unusual is that you got firmware v1.00.06 on your player straight out of the box as it usually comes with v1.00.01 or v1.00.02. 
    If the above driver doesn't work, and since that you have Windows XP, you may want to try upgrading to firmware v2.00.02. NOTE: You will need to also download driver v1.672 from the MSI Website as this is the only driver that works with v2.00.02.   
    CARE: You may want to read the below topic first before upgrading to v2.00.02 as there have been some issues concerning driver v1.672 & v2.00.02.

    Plug your iPad into your computer, open iTunes, and click Restore. This will reset your iPad to factory settings, so make sure everything important is stored safely. Once the restore is complete, do NOT restore from your backup.
    If you still have problems, take the iPad to the Apple Store or another AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider). If you're still within warranty, any service will be of no cost. Check your serial number here or find your receipt.
    Hope I've helped!
    PS: This is a peer-to-peer forum. Apple generally doesn't pay attention here.

  • Why with Mavericks some folders just disappear and reappear randomly for just a few seconds?

    Why with Mavericks some folders just disappear and reappear randomly for just a few seconds?

    Hi Alinc,
    I find that this happens with folders that either have a lot of stuff in them, when there is a lot of large files on my desktop, or when my computer has it's RAM bogged down. I'm guessing it's just a benign performance issue, and so far it hasn't cause me any serous problems except for one folder that constantly take a while to load but I'm not surprised because that folder has 8000+ files and is over 25GB in size LOL.
    If this is still an issue for you, or you folders disappear for so long that it becomes an inconvenience, I would recommend trying the following things:
    1) Save your work and close any open programs, but don't close your Finder folders though. Click the Apple Logo  in the upper left hand corner of the screen, then choose Force Quit. In the windows that comes up select Finder and choose Relaunch. This should force all of your open Finder folders to get refreshed. Please note this is a very brute force operation so it might be the most elegant solution.
    2) A better but less potent thing to try is cleaning up you finder folders. If like me you have hundreds of files in one folder, or there is more than a gigabyte of data in the first level of the folder, then it might be a good idea to clean it up by moving some of those files into subfolders.
    3) This is my favorite fix to try, and I recommend it to almost everyone because it's super easy and has a reasonable chance of improving your computer's performance at least a little bit.
    3.a) Go to Disk Utility, and click on your hard drive.
    3.b) Go to First Aid, and click each of the following one at a time: Verify Disk, Repair Disk, Verify Disk Permissions, and finally Repair Disk Permissions. Each of those actions should take several minutes (3 to 30) to complete on a fast hard drive, so make sure you don't need your computer for any serious work during this time.
    3.c) Once those operations are complete click on your Macintosh HD partition (right below the hard drive you clicked before) and repeat step 3.b.
    3.d) If you have any other connected hard drives or partitions you can do this for them as well. BUT, I don't recommend doing this on any Windows formatted drives, like FAT or NTFS, or your Bootcamp partition — although the First Aid buttons on the Bootcamp will probably be disabled anyway.
    Best,
    Vlad

  • Question on Radio tuner and msi radio on getting it to work

    Ok Iv installed MSI Radio, also got the radio card muted with the msi media center uninstalled that thing is just evil, problem now is the msi radio is not talking to my radio on my msi mega 865 deluxe, the msi media center 3 works with it, but i cant mute the radio card on the audio settings. The radio card starts up when msi radio starts up but none of the tuner options work, i get the fuzz in the back ground but the buttions are not talking to the mega 865's radio card what can I do I want to avoid the msi media center 3 because I will not be able to mute my radio and will have that annoying fuzzy stuff running in the back ground that will annoy me to no ends lol
    MSI MEGA 865 Deluxe
    p4 2.8ghz HT
    1 gig of kingston Ram
    MSI Geforce FX 5700LE 256mb AGP
    MSI Mega Tv Tuner Card
    80 gig Segate Baracuda
    MSI 52x CDROM CDR/DVD Combo Drive
    Windows XP PRO SP2 With MS PLUS! Digital Media Edition

    at least you're getting somewhere with this now
    what is this background fuzz you keep going on about? thats the sound of an untuned radio...
    if you aren't happy with media centre 3 (who is?  ) then make sure you fully uninstall it, and uninstall the mega radio program (for now)
    turn off your pc and unplug the power lead for a few seconds then reconnect.
    put into hi-fi mode and make sure radio is working - if it ain't working in hi-fi mode its not gonna work in windows. try tuning a few stations in, and then leave it set to a station you recognise...
    if all is ok, then power into pc mode (making sure you turn off hi-fi mode first)
    if you hear the radio playing when windows has started (as opposed to "background fuzz" now you have a station tuned in), open the windows volume control and look for the "Radio" slider, you might need to go into advanced properties (under options) and tick the box to show it. just tick the mute box, no need to adjust slider.
    now install the mega radio program (it is found on the Mega 651 downloads page for correct version). now when the radio program starts and closes, it should automatically "tick" and "untick" the mute box in the Radio volume slider itself

  • Recent Conversation with MSI and Neo4 overclocking "thing"

    I had a recent email transaction with MSI if anyone is interested. I tried my best to represent the group, and I know we all experience the problem a little bit different which is why it has been hard to explain and fix. I tried to give them the best info to duplicate the issue in the lab. It seems clear at this point that MSI still isn't duplicating the issue. They are using 166 Mem Clock Index, and the HT freq of 3x and still not understanding the issue, hopefully I have gave them a guide to duplicate what we have been trying to say. Yes I have explained this to MSI before but I really feel I am getting somewhere with my last 2 emails. Once we get them to duplicate the results then I think we will all have our solution shortly. Before anyone says anything negative, at least they aren't saying, oh that's an overclocking problem we don't deal with that. Also remember how long it has taken to get many people to see the issue, this isn't easy to understand so just stay cool, don't say negative sh-t if you reply and we'll see how this pans out. It was actully kind of hard since I am sitting in a hotel room 500 miles away from the motherboard but I was able to use modbin6 to view the BIOS and since I have done this about 7 zillion times I remember the settings LMAO. They have their Venice to 2750, not bad... 
    Hello MSI Engineer,
    The information you requested. The data you sent shows a Venice running at 166 Memclock index value at HT at 3x, the goal is to run at 200 Memclock Index and HT at 4x. In order to duplicate this issue in the lab here is my recommendation. It MUST be tried with a CBBID Winchester RevD CPU and a Venice Rev E CPU and the Gskill memory you have in dual channel. The issue happens everytime with a CBBID Winchester and less often with Venice.
    Starting with the Venice 3500+, Set the following in BIOS
    [Memclock Index] 200
    [CAS# latency (Tcl)] 3
    [Min RAS active] 11
    [RAS to CAS delay] 6
    [Row Precharge] 6
    [User config mode] manual
    [bottom of 32 bit] (default)
    [1T/2T] 1T
    [Read Preamble] 6ns (default)
    [Async Latency] 6ns (default)
    [S/W mem hole] Disable (default)
    [H/W mem hole] Disable (default)
    [MTRR mapping] Continuous (default)
    [High Performance] manual
    [Agreessive timing] Disable
    [Dynamic Overclocking] Disable
    [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 200
    [HT Frequncy] 4
    [HT Width] 16 up 16 down
    [CPU Spread] Disable
    [SATA Spread] Disable
    [PCI Spread] Disable
    [PCIe Clock] 101
    [SSE/SSE2] Enable
    [CnQ] Disable
    [CPU Ratio] 11x
    [Adjust CPU VID] 1.45
    [Extra CPU Voltage] your choice for stability
    [Mem Volt] your choice for stability
    [NF4 Volt] your choice for stability
    Now boot into Windows. Using Clockgen, increase HTT to 250. This should be stable based on your screen shot and your RAM modules. Now having a CPU 2750Mhz, RAM at 250Mhz, and a HT of 4x250(1000). Test for stablity with Prime95 or other Stress Testing tool. Now we can say motherboard is stable at 2750Mhz CPU, 250Mhz RAM, and HT 4x250(1000). Now return to the BIOS at set the following
    [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 250
    This reults in a no POST condition for me and others. Now install the CBBID, except you will have to set a lower CPU max speed based on CBBID overclocking potential. In the BIOS, Return [Adjust CPU FSB frequency] to 200, Perhaps [CPU ratio] of 10x or 9x but a [Memory Clock Index] 200Mhz. Boot to Windows and use Clockgen to raise HTT to 250 again. Once you find a [CPU Ratio] that will have a STABLE overclock with a 250HTT. Return to the BIOS and set [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] to 250. Try and POST. Try this experiment with the 3.1, 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS's. For the CBBID and the 3.1 BIOS you should be able to change the [HT Freq] to 3x, 2x or 1x and get a POST with [FSB Freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and a known stable [CPU Ratio] you found in Windows. The 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS have made this work around not possible. Why does [HT Freq] 4x work in windows but not at POST time?
    As a side note. The 1.3 BIOS for the 7125 works with the Venice, and the 1.4 and 1.5 do NOT. So somewhere between the 1.3 and 1.4 MSI created the issue on the Venice. Perhaps that is where you can find the answer and solution to the problem.
    Here are some articles that describe the issue on a ECS and Chaintech board that were remidied by a BIOS update. So the problem is not uncommon and should be able to be fixed.
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/chaintech-nforce4_6.html
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/ecs-kn1-extreme_9.html
    Here is some other users data of NF4 SLI and Ultra MSI Neo4's if you want to see some other BIOS settings.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81364.0
    Here is a screen shot of my Neo4 Plat SLI (MS-7100) 3.1 BIOS and CBBID Winchester(The Venice will NOT POST at all above [Adj CPU Freq] ~219-229 under any situation but is stable in Windows at HTT 250 with Clockgen). The system is stable and POST's when [HT Freq] is 3x, it will NOT at [HT freq] 4x which is stable in windows but won't POST.
    http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbidMSI2501.jpg
    Here is another screenshot of the Asus A8N Plat SLI with all peripherals the same. Only changed the motherboard. This is POSTing at [HT Freq] 4x. This is just as a reference that the components do indeed POST with [Adjust FSB freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and [HT Freq] 4x. This board will POST both my 3200+ Venice and Winchester CBBID at the settings described above.
    http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbid250asus1.jpg

    are you using coolbits 1 or 2?
    I heard that coolbits2 is the one for our later cards
    Good question - coolbits 2.  I happened to take a chance from this website and downloaded this file...ran it up against my antivirus and antispyware software and it looked clean.  I simply ran the program and viola, coolbits functionality automatically added to the winxp registry.  I cleaned out the msi DOT drivers first before I loaded this program.  Even though I have tweaked on occasion the winxp registry to speed things up and make winxp shut down quicker, this was too complicated for me to do on my own.
    The highest overclock with the MSIs DOT is 11% at 555/1100.  My MSI card is actually very stable at 580/1160 for a 16% overclock.  I have gotten it to 600/1200 but I usually run the coolbits stability program a few times and it has never failed at 580/1160.  I am sure if I had a better cooling system than the stock fan it would probably go to 600/1200 or higher.  At a 3DMark05 of 4133 (and much higher if I could get it stable at 600/1200, I would be bumping up against the stock speeds of the 6800s vid cards.   
    EDIT: Of course, if you download this coolbits 2 program you do so at your own risk...I take no responsibility for the download.

    btw, I have ordered more stuff from ZZF than newegg...they seem cheaper (but dont always have the stock of newegg) and the stuff gets here 1 day sooner usually (west coast to east coast USA). 

  • After AMD X2 3800 upgrade MSI Radio causes stop error

    Hi!
    First of all sorry for by bad English
    I have an MSI TV Anywhere master card for about two years now.
    Until now it was running fine, using the updated drivers from MSI's site
    This include the main driver, and the new WinDVR 3.0 and the updated MSI Radio
    With these AMD vs Intel price wars, I've upgraded my Athlon Winchester 3000+ to a X2 3800+
    The CPU is running fine
    However, MSI radio immedialy gives a BSOD since I have changed the CPU
    I have even got as far as reinstalling XP SP2 from scratch, and it still BSOD's :(
    I get
    STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
    How do I solve it?
    Any other users having trouble with TV Anwhere Master with an AMD X2
    CPU has run for several hours PRIME 95 and some heavy games with no crashes whatsoever
    Just click on MSI radio and the mouse cursor wil freeze, followed by a BSOD and a reboot
    Every time this happend
    The only time when I could lauch MSI radio was when I booted Windows XP in safe mode
    Thx in advance
    Steven

    Hi Stu!
    Followed you advice, I looked a little more at the processor AMD procesor driver program
    I already had installed the latest version, but it crashed too :(
    However you suggestion had led my to try this:
    * Removed the normal AMD processor driver
    * Installed the AMD Fix for dual core processors from the AMD site
    It worked!! Now MSI radio no more crashes!
    knock on wood
    I'll report back when there are errors
    This is the page I got the utility from:
    http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
    It's the first tool listed
    From the desc:
    "The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction"
    Hope this helps anyone who has an AMD X2 an has similar problems
    Actually, with the new drivers from MSI I'm quite happy with my TV Anywhere Master
    Greetings & thanks everyone

  • Random Crashes with MSI x48c Platinum

    Hello everyone.
    After crabbing some new hardware and putting it together, Im having trouble with these annoying random crashes. It does not happen often however, maybe a few times in a day. The screen turns black and the sound just loops forever. Then I have to restart it manually. Sometimes it will boot right up again, but other times I have to restart twice, because I dont even get the POST screen up, the screen just stays black.
    Motherboard: MSI x48c Platinum
    Graphic Card: Asus EAH4870
    RAM: OCZ DDR3 4 GB Platinum XTC DualChannel (PC3-12800 2x2048MB 1600MHz.)
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz 1333Mhz
    PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU 750W
    OS: Windows Vista x64 Ultimate
    I have a clean installation of Vista x64 and all the drivers are updated.
    No overclocking, everything is running on default (Except I adjusted the graphic card fan, because it was hitting over 80 freaking Celsius when idling..!)
    The temp for the CPU is 35-50c, and with the fan fix for my graphic card, its running on 50c. So overheating shouldnt be a problem.
    Im really out of ideas here.. However, it does not say that my RAM is compedable with the motherboard in the manual, but doesnt that just mean its not tested with it? I think a new card like x48c should be able to run it just fine..
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advice.

    Still having the same problem, but it seems to happen more frequently now though.
    I set the following options in BIOS to:
    Clock speed: 1066 MHz
    Voltage: 1.57V
    CAS# Latency(CL): 9
    RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD): 9
    RAS# Precharge (tRP): 9
    RAS# Activate to Precharge: 24
    It was something like, 7 7 7 38..
    Is these the right settings?
    When I run CPUZ again after the changes, its still saying 7 7 7 20.. Also went into the BIOS again, and the settings were set to 9 9 9 24, am I missing out on something here?
    Here is a screenshot of what the menu looks like; http://www.xbitlabs.com/images/mainboards/msi-x48-platinum/timings.jpg (Not my screen)
    I also had to disable STD to get those menu-options.
    So I tried to flash my BIOS instead, but the problem still remains. I used BIOS version 2.4, located here: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1392 (I used the forum tool btw, works great, thanks alot for that!)
    Also tried to reset the CMOS, run default bios settings...
    By the way, since I'm using DDR3 ram I had to use slot 1, and 3. Because the motherboard supports DDR2 as well.
    (Sorry for bringing this old topic up, but its getting really annoying now)
