Mega 180 Deluxe Card Reader

o_0Hi
I've a problem with my card reader, I can only use the CF Reader, the other one is bad. I've 2 drives E/F. When i installed XP, I enabled USB in the BIOS, was it right to do that?
Do you have any problem's with your's card reader's?
PS: The cards are OK....

no problems with memory stick card.i also have to new drives-it has to be like that
no special drivers needed (win xp included).optimized for "ejection" (not performance).
Maybe it's a technic problem .check all connections.
p.s. memory stick card has to be quite deep into the reader

MSI MEGA 180 Deluxe - Card Reader

Does anyone have any advice on getting the card reader to work?
It was working untill I installed all the software from the install disk. Then I rebooted and it had stopped working.
I have since done a complete fresh install, but still have the same problem.
Not really conversant with BIOS settings, so don't know what they should be.
Have installed all updates for the Mega 180 from MSI website, and also have ALL updates from microsoft. (All 110MB !!!!! Thanks god for broadband!!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to bios, and check in Itegrated Pripherals->Onboard Devices->OnChip USB.
This must be enabled. I have there V1.1+V2.0, and cardreader is working.
I was disabled this, when i installed WinXP, because cardreader start from drive C: and my HDD was like drive F:. So I disabled it, installed WinXP, and then enabled OnChip USB. Now i have A: (virtual drive) C: (Hard Drive) E: (DVD/CD-RW) F: and G: (CardReader).
Best Regards from Czech

Please help me! Mega 180 Delux

What not documentary feature has Mega 180 Delux?
1. Loses DVD Video without participation of a computer
2. Can be a point of access WiFi
3. Can broadcast video in a network
What variant correct? At me is not present 180 delux and to check up to me there is no place.

1. Loses DVD Video without participation of a computer
I don't get that one, can you rephrase?

2. Can be a point of access WiFi
Sure you can, as you can with any WiFi-equipped computer, google a bit for how to it.

3. Can broadcast video in a network
If you have the right software, sure. VLC is a good app.

Logitech USB30 Headphones and Logitech WebCam Pro 4000 vs MSI Mega 180 Deluxe

Hi!
I just found some problems related to the radio software/driver on my MSI Mega 180 Deluxe. I have installed all the latest software / drivers from MSI (including the bios) and i am using Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 installed.
The problem is that when i connect my Logitech USB30 headphones to this computer, and try starting the Radio application from MSI, i get an error mesasage saying there is no audio driver installed. And there is no sound at all. The USB headset is working 100% in all softwares like Windows Media Player and other sound applications (not related to MSI). I sent a support request to MSI, and they told me that this problem was related to my headphones. I did not accept that answere, because it does not make sense.. my headphones works perfect with any other computer and with any other software.
Then i connected my Logitech WebCam Pro 4000 to this computer (incl. the drivers) and the very same thing happened..The radio application told me there is no sound driver availible and the Listen Music application crashed by it self. The control panel now shows that there is no driver installed.. but when disconnecting the WebCam and reboot, the driver is ok again.. and the same thing happens when connecting the WebCam again.
Does anyone else got this problem, and did you solve it? How?

I don't have MSI radio installed, never have. However, does MSI Radio provide tuner capabilities? The ability to get radio stations? If so, then perhaps whatever is providing the tuner capability is maintaining an IRQ that conflicts with the USB Headset and WebCam?
That's just a hypothesis. Typically, when you have a IRQ conflict, you won't lose the driver in your Device Manager. However, since everything in the Megas are USB driven, then there's a possibility that you would.

MEGA 180 - Video Card Added

I've tried adding a Radeon 8500 video card to a Mega 180 system and when I add it, the system doesn't even POST, nothing. I know the card works.
If you have successfuly installed a video card into a Mega 180 please let me know exactly what you did. The manual seems to state that you simply install it and, of course, plug the monitor into the card. But no dice with this Mega 180. There is no place in BIOS to disable the onboard video either.
Help!!!

Actually, not for me. For a customer who requested this barebones speciifically. You're correct, the machine has been a NIGHTMARE. In fact, I had to RMA the first box I had. I built it, installed the software and proceeded to let it run for a few days before I delivered it. Well, the USB bus just up and died during this burn in period. It totally disapeared from Device Manager and no voltage was present at any of the USB ports.
It cost me $35 to send it back to MSI and it took 6 weeks for me to get a new box from them. Now this box has fried a few sticks of RAM on me and I'm having this $*&% driver issue and the system locks up and won't boot if I install a video card.
UPDATE: Today I tried a brand new Radeon 9600, no dice. Even after I blasted the AGP slot with compressed air. The machine won't even POST. I'm starting to think that the driver issue and the machine's inability to accept a video card are the same problem - the motherboard's video subsystem may have failed.
I build computers for a business and I've built a few hundred machines over the years. Generally, I only use Asus boards, AMD CPUs (love the A7N8X-E Deluxe, Geil RAM, and I prefer Radeon based graphics cards but I will use an nVidia card if need be). If I'm building an ultra cheap box for someone, I'll load the free OS, Knoppix, on it.

Mega 180 TV Card---the straight scoop...

There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what TV card and what TV card drivers work well in the Mega 180.
After a whole bunch of trial and error----here's what seems to be the scoop. the dope, the real deal----to the best of my knowledge.....
---there is a mixup with TV Tuner Cards----two versions of the 8606 card
8606-10---Regular card----with an FM tuner---not really made for the MEGA----and....
8606-40 MEGA TV card----without the tuner (cuz your Mega already has one) and made especially for the MEGA
Further confusion:
If you have a Mega 180------ONLY use the TV Tuner drivers on the Mega 180 Install disk----NOT the regular drivers that are included with the MEGA TV card as this card will also work on the older Mega 651's and those drivers are basically for it.
In other words---DON'T use the Win Cinema Install disk that comes with the Mega TV Card if you have the Mega 180...
AND---guess what----those TV card drivers on the Mega 180 install disk only become visible in the main install menu when you have the card installed----they don't automatically appear so you know you need to use THOSE drivers vice the ones included with the card.
AND---the drivers only seem to work in conjunction with Media Center III!
It would be nice if MSI put out a little help sheet with some of this info....
Help----and a good manual-----what a concept......

I terminated everything I could via task manager and Media Center III still crashed. I'm pretty sure I have all available updates.

I've also tried removing the Radeon 9200SE but that didn't resolve the problem. Next I suppose I'll try some other capture/viewing software to see if it runs stable. Thanks for the help so far.

MEGA 180 Wireless Card Cannot Run - No Resources

Well, I FINALLY got the MEGA 180 to recognize the built-in wireless card, but the card will not run becuase the system is telling me that there are no available resources for the card... huh?
Does anyone know what this means and how I can get my built-in wireless working? I currently have an external USB wireless adapter working, but I'd really like to remove it and try the built-in one.
Thanks,
Matt

Nice little update to report.
When I had my MEGA 180 open to lap the heatsink and reapply the Arctic Silver, I decided to check the Mini-PCI card to make sure everything was ok. Sure enough, it was not fully seated in the socket. This would explain why my wireless card would never work.
I pushed it in firmly, and when the system started back up, voila! I had built-in wireless.
Horrible quality control out of MSI to let a system go from the factory like this, but I'm glad it was something small.

Psu of mega 651 and card reader

Hi ive got 2 quick questions i need help with
1/ I've got these components in my mega 651
512 pc2700 ram
120 gb hd maxtor
2.8 p4 processor
64mb geforce 4 mx440
Pinnacle Tv card rave
I want to upgrade my graphics card to ati Radeon 9200 128mb, and put in another stick of 512 ram. (same brand and speed)
Just wanted to know if the mega 651 psu, could handle these changes and run smoothly?
2/ I cant seem to install the card reader, its never been reconised in windows xp with the "new hardware detected", i've tried pluging and unpluging it from the motherboard, but that doesnt work. Is there settings I need to change in the bios, and what should the card reader be under in device manager?

as for your card reader problems, i fear you may have a faulty unit.
There should be two devices listed under "Disk Drives" in Device Manager:
OEI-USB CompactFlash USB Device
OEI-USB SM/MS/SD USB Device
and in My Computer you'll see two "Removable Drives"
The other possiblity is that you are running an old version of Windows XP without Service Pack 1 installed, which has a USB patch included. Do other USB devices work?
Its possible that the devices are not being recognised because this patch is not installed. Visit Windows Update to download the latest updates.
Lastly, make sure that the USB controller is Enabled in the BIOS settings.
Thanks for the reply, I'm using windows xp with sp1 and updates, all the other usb ports seem to working ok, so i think it just may be a faulty card reader

MSI Mega 180 Deluxe: "No Audio Device" problem

MSI PC 180
AMD Athlon XP 2600
2 x 256 Mb DDR 333 Kingston
MSI TV Card
1 HD Maxtor
1 LG DVDRW
Windows XP SP2
Norton Antivirus 2004
The computer workest fine until today: now there is no sound.
The device manager show
- NVIDIA NForce Audio Codec Interface
- NVIDIA Nforce MCP Audio Processing Unit
Correctly without yellow o red marks
However in Control Panel , Audio Devices appear: "No Audio Device"
When click in Nvidia Mixer say that there are no audio device
I upgrade to the latest Nvidia unified drivers with the same result
What happen? How i can have sound again?
Regards,

Thank to everybody for the answers
I have reset the clock and the problem continue
I have uninstall the newest drivers (downloaded from nvidia web) using Add/remove programs, and reinstall using original CD from MSI, and the problem continue
The problem is not temperature. The sound is disabled after hours of computer is off.
I unplug the power and the problem continue
Now i have the following audio drivers:
- Nvidia Audio Codec 6.14.348.2
- Nvidia MCP Audio Processing 6.14.348.2
The problem is: The Windows XP detect the integrated NVIDIA sound card and install the drivers but in Control Panel show: No AUDIO DEVICE. And the sound is off...
My conclusion is MSI PC 180 is very weak: the integrated components are very unstable.
I'm computer assembler and i discontinue to sell this MSI equipment.
I'm very annoyed with MSI quality.

Day 2 installation advice for Mega 180 delux

Now that i got past the DMI Pool Problem, and have XP installed. I have 2 problems with the system.
1: i can't get connected to my lan via ethernet. lights are on at both ends of the cable and nobody appears to be home. have run the wizzard a number of times. lan connection is not bridged
1a: after fighting the ethernet connection for a few hours, moved the pc to my office, checked ethernet with a different cable etc, no luck. since it was now sitting next to my wireless hub i figured what the heck maybe this will work.
after down loading and installing Ralink driver update (thanks forum) and changing my netgear hub to channel 3 (thanks forum) i am connected via wireless. eventually computer is destined about as far from my home office as i can place it (kids) so need to get ethernet working. sound familiar, any suggestions?
2: In control panel the audio device is showing yellow question marks, doesn't look like drivers have installed, do i need to install the MSI Media Center to get sound out? looks like Media center has been the source of lots of grief.
3: Now that i am online, should i upgrade the bios, system came with 3.3. reading the postings i am not sure i want to introduce any more variables into the equation, but if it will help with 1 or 2...
4: From reading the forums it looks like xp sp2 is working well for most people, comments? i am running sp2 on 2 other machines and it is very stable. wireless management is also much improved.
thx again.
Amd Sempron 2400 proc
Segate 120G Drive
Sony DRU-540 DCD+-RW/+-RCD Drive
Corsair 512Mb (2 DDR-Dims)
XP Home unpatched, Bios 3.3

I would reiterate both Stu and Normunds advice.
1. Only update BIOS if you have to
2. Get the latest Nforce2 drivers from Nvidia. That should make a number of things work better. Hopefully sound and ethernet. If you're using onboard video also get the latest Nvidia display drivers from Nvidia.
3. I installed MCE 2005 which is XP SP2 + a front end. It is very stable. I have very few OS related problems. But I would turn off automatic update for XP. They are constantly wanting to update stuff that I don't even use.
4. For your ethernet problem are you getting an address assigned from DHCP ? Have you tried the repair connection thing from MS or wntipcfg.exe release/renew ? Does the machine address show up as connected from the router ?
If none of this stuff is working I would suggest checking for a router software upgrade. This happened to me about 6 months ago. XP was using some newer protocols that was confusing my router... and nothing worked.

Mega 180 Newbie

Hi first post and some questions
Am looking at buying a Mega 180 Deluxe as a replacement for my Panasonic DVD home theatre and my VCR
Can you use it for general PC work (was going to install MCE)
What is the problems with Temps ?
Can I connect my Sky+ to it and record on the DVD recorder
Is it easy to connect to my existing wi-fi network, so i can surf on the TV
Cheers
am sure I'll think of a few more

Thats basicaly what I want it for, to archive programs recorded on Sky+ and burn them to dvd. Does the 180 come with a video in or do I need a capture card ?
I know I could buy a dvd recorder and just plug it into the sky, but £130 for something that would only get used a few times a month, doesnt seem worth it.
I like the idea of replacing my Panasonic home theatre dvd and vcr with a Mega 180 or a 400 if you can get them
I've sold the missus on the idea she can use MSN via the wi-fi :hypecrite:
What does Lapping the heatsink mean ????

Mega 180 doesent boot

hi,
i ve just finished installing my hardware into my new mega 180 deluxe, and every time i switch it on it just switchs back off after a few seconds. Hardware:
amd athlon 2200
maxtor dimond max 80gb
2 x twinmos 256 pc2700
time cd/dvd
does anyone have any ideas on how i can fix this

Try fiddling with the memory (re-seat, take one out, etc) and any expansion card you may have. It may sound stupid, but it works on this board....sometimes.
Also as soon as it boots go into BIOS and check out the PC Health for temps.

MSI Mega 180 problems

Hello all, i'm quite stuck on something and need some help.
I have recently purchased an MSI Mega 180 deluxe and installed an pioneer a07 dvd writer in there, for some reason it won't let me burn cd's in audio cd format from wav files, which i need for my music studio.
Also i constructed an external case to put an internet pioneer a03 dvd writer and did the same process and believe it or not i was able to burn a audio cd, so not sure what the problem is, could the msi mega 180 dislike my newer model of pioneer, or is the pioneer on it's way out, which i find strange as it's newer and quite new.
I use nero to burn most of my cd's or dvd's which had no problem with when the dvd writer was on another desktop, it seems to get up to 26% and just freezes there, which the buffer level not moving at all.
Hope someone can help, thanks

Sounds like all of your drivers are not up to date....
Here's what M$ has to say about it (shamelessly copied and pasted from another different website/board post).
Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.
Interpreting the Message
This Stop message has four parameters:
Memory referenced.
IRQL at time of reference.
Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
Address that referenced memory.
Resolving the Problem
For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.
Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
For more information about Stop 0xD1 messages, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base link on the Web Resources page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources. Search using keywords winnt, 0x000000D1, and 0xD1.
Update Drivers
Updated and comaptiable drivers are very important when running XP. Check your hardware with the HCL http://www.microsoft.com/hcl If you hardware is not on the list it does not mean it won't work it just means it hasn't been tested by Microsoft and they won't Guarantee it to be compatible. If it not on the list check the manufacturer's website fo an up to date XP driver, if they don't have one you may be out of luck. This goes for motherboards and the bios too.

Re: S3 state.
S0 ~ S5 are the various sleep states on a computer. This ranges from no sleep [fullly on=0] to full sleep [ System off=5]. This is based on the Intel/Microsoft whitepaper describing the various states of ACPI. S=3 is supposed to be equivialant to "Suspend to Ram". So after suspend resume, max fan, until controlled by PC Alert in XP. Hope thats clear?

Mega 180 card reader / sony duo 2gb card

Hi, can any one help? I am unable to get my Sony 2gb duo cad recognised by the mega 180 card reader, I have tried the live update option and reinstalled the drivers but to no avail, can any one point me in the ricght direction.
With a laptop I have I had to update the driver to get the card reader to recognise the lager size memory card. but have seached and searched for one for this card reader but no luck so far can anyone help please?

Hi
Thanks for this, I have been using a memory stick Duo adaptor, so in appearace it looks and acts like a conventional memory stick, in my other equipment
I have also tried using a 512mb Duo card and that also will not recognise, I have a SD card that goes into the same front slot and the 180 reads that one OK.
It is frustrating as the main reason for purchasing the 180 was to use the card reader to exchange info.
Is it possible that another reader will fit behind the panel?
Thank-you
