Mega View 566

Just wondering if this device is available yet? I've been searching but I havent been able to find anyplace to purchase it from.

The batterys are fine ,plus I used the power plug as well [you can use it plugged in as well ] . Lock switch on or off does nothing . My only chance maybe is I spoke to a electrical repair shop in Devon & they say try downloading the settings on my PC on a SD card and then put that in the mega view . Not yet sure how to do that and my PC does not have a slot for a SD card in any case .

MSI MEGA VIEW 566

Hi, I have tested the Mega View 566 for a while now. And I found out 3 days afther I buyed it that mine dosent have a menu called FM radio.
What is wrong???
And one more thing are there coming any Firmeware update to it??
It's a problem that you only do one operation at the time. For exampel play a song, and browse the rest of the mp3 songs you got on the player.
I also think the interface looks a little uncool, make some nice menu's like the ipod photo has...
Thanks Msi for makeing this Player.. Do some upgrades and it will be Perfect...
Hope you can make it better!
Daniel from Norway.

Hiya dude,
I have the same issue on ya line. Just wanted to tell you if u get any news bout the firmware upgrades or software upgrades please do lemme know.

MSI MEGA VIEW 566 - HDD ERROR MESSAGE A/V Recording

The message HDD ERROR displays whem I try to record Audio and Video!
It happens whem I'm using MEGA VIEW 566 in your belt case and a camera is attached in my helmet!
I can't understand why its happening.
HDD doesn't have cache?
How can I resolve this problem, or this problem is in the HDD?

The JVM had died in the GFX package.
I suggest you do a windows update and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers.
Failing that you need to get a new version of java when it becomes available. :)

Rubish mega view 588 and webcam

I purchased the Mega View 588. It is not working at all. After swapping, the quality is !! Then ask for another swapping or help. The technician this is the normal! FXXX. what this. Also the Web cam 370i, the colour is funny and not very nice. Do not purchase those! I can not believe MSI is going to be a doggy manufacturer.

if you had looked through the other posts here, you would have found this topic, which explains the reasoning for poor quality of webcam picture:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=90313.0
as for your megaview 588, i can't speak for that as i've never used one, but what do you mean by poor quality? the hardware or video? sure your videos are not just poor quality?

Mega View 588 stops playing video after 1Gb

I have recently started using Slysoft's CloneDVD Mobile to make DivX files of DVDs. So that I can play the DivX onto a TV I have chosen a large picture size. This has made quite large files, greater that 1Gb.
Playing these large files on Mega View 588 works fine until 1Gb of file has been read, then the player just aborts.
example: 1hr34min film is converted to 1.6Gb file. The film plays but then stops after 1hr. This equates to about 1.02Gb.
example: 1hr50min film is converted to 1.14Gb file. The film stops at 1:30. This equates to 1.02Gb.
Both films play to their ends on a PC.
I am using latest firmware, 1.0.26.1.
Is this correct behaviour?

Quote from: Tiresmoke on 30-June-06, 12:14:39
I will see what I can find that may be bigger. Not sure what I have to play with ATM.
yeah im not sure either so will have to look for something bigger to reproduce the problem.

Mega View 561

Can anyone tell me where to purchase an ac adapter for my Mega 561? Lost it and my online etailer-Buy.com- does not sell the
adapter alone. MSI USA is completely unresponsive. Tried after market products to no avail. Thanks...

In "Maplins" a UK electrical goods store. Full description is "universal switched adaptor for digital camera", manufactured by "Sunpower". Voltage settings from 3 through to 7V, 2100mA max. Comes with seven plugs (including a yellow +ve core one which fits the MV), plus UK, US and Australian wall socket fittings. You should be able to find something similar almost anywhere.
Charge time was identical with the supplied MV adapter (did not solve the problem I was having with a flaky microswitch on the MV 566 though, causing intermittent charging if the charge cable was moved. Waiting for repair or replacement from MSI).
Good hunting!

Mega View 588 - USB OTG facility

Well, finally, out of boredom, I thought it was time I gave this a try!
It works a treat!
Connected my Fuji FinePix 2200 and uploaded pics, using the USB plug/adapter - no problem!
Out of curiousity I also tried connecting a generic 9-in-1 card reader. Guess what? Works perfect. So now, as well as the little SD/MMC slot, I can add Smart Media, Compact Flash & everything else. Luvvly Jubbly.
I might add that I did look at the compatability list, and neither product was on it, but both connected without a hitch and also with fast transfer times.
Now I wonder what would happen if I tried to connect my Ipaq...............................

So far I've only tried a smart media adapter and card and a generic flash drive. No problems with back up and files easily accessed when the 588 is mounted as a hard drive on my PC. Would be great if you could selectively back up external media but hey, still useful as is.
There is a "cut and paste" option on the 566 which lets you move files between the PMP and a SD card but this seems to be missing on the 588. I do like the option to use your own photos as wallpaper as you can choose something that makes the black menu font stand out more clearly.

Mega view 588

have megaview 588 (which overall i LOVE) but am unable to get it to work with TV, either playing recorded shows TO tv or recording FROM TV - have correct cables, plugged in correctly but best i can get is audio only, no video... my TV has 2 input hook-ups (1 used for satellite rcvr, and use 2nd as needed for DVD which requires no add'l programming, just hook-up and go) as well as separate output (vacant) but when i switch DVD cable for PMP cable - nada...... and record does nothing either - as we are going on vacation soon and i wanted to use this to record new shows while we are out in evenings, would GREATLY appreciate ANY help/suggestions/ MAGIC to get this working!!!! thanx in advance -
ps - i am basically a dummy when it comes to getting too technical so please keep suggestions/responses simple!!!

Due to you can get the audio, thus I suppose your AV cable is no problem, maybe it’s your operation issue, please thoroughly read 5588 user manual from page38 to page40!!
Also, please follow MSI website descriptions to update latest F/W v1.0.26.1 and try again!!

Image Memory Leaks in AIR app

We are implementing an AIR application that loads thumbnails
from the hard drive and uploads them to a remote server.
When bringing in large images, for example, when importing
five 2MB files into Image objects:
Flex reports that it is using 55MB
Windows reports using 220 Meg (viewing memory usage of
adl.exe in task manager)
After deletion of these image objects, the memory stays
allocated!! It is released when the application is closed.
Two issues I see:
1. Huge memory usage for image objects (I understand that JPG
files are exploded into BMPs). It limits our ability to load 10's
or 100's of images.
2. Bad Memory leak
OTHER THINGS WE TRIED:
1. Displaying images as inline html IMG tags.. Same memory
usage!
2. Taking a snapshot of the image and displaying that.
Problem, used way to much CPU
I hope these issues will be fixed before release time or we
are hosed.
PLATFORM: Windows XP Professional, service pack 2

Hi
Have you tried the FB3 profiler to investigate why memory is
not getting deallocated?
You can use the loitering objects panel to track the back
references for the objects in memory. If you find that image object
is not being referenced by anything else. Can you file a bug at
http://bugs.adobe.com/flex
with a small test case.
Also as you know that jpg will be translated into bitmap. The
amount of memory required will be determined by the pixels in the
image. Each pixel will be 4K
Thanks,

you already started one topic, no need to start another one

Things to know before (and after) building a Mega 865

As I am seeing a lot of the same questions regarding the Mega 865 I created this document,
29-Oct-2004 Added Northwood benefits
29-Oct-2004 Emphasized NOT to use live update for bios update
Processors in general
Start with the processor, I would say get something around 3 gighz (give or take) which is quite affordeble. If you are going for a prescott, make sure you upgrade your bios to 1.3 (see below).It will run a bit hot (understatement) otherwise.
If going for northwood any version is ok I believe. When I chose mine I let $$$ descide, and the prescott was on sale. (If I would buy a CPU for the Mega again, I would most likely go for a Northwood this time). Before buying your processor make sure your processor is supported, you can find the supported processors here;
http://cweb.msi.com.tw/program/products/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
Harddisk
As for Harddisk, I would suggest anything goes but take a serial ata since that is becoming the new standard nowadays.
When buying a HD larger than 130 Gig, make sure you install from a Windows XP SP1 CD (or higher) or divide your HD in smaller pieces. Otherwise you will not get a bigger partition than 130 Gigs.
DVD/CDROM
As for DVD/CD player, there is a special thread (see below) where everyone states if their DVD/CD player is working with the mega (there are some issues with some drives in HiFi mode, EVEN if they are MSI)
Mega PC barebones optical drive compatibility list
Memory
As for memory, get at least 512 Mb or 1024 Mb if you want to sit cosy. two sticks of DDR400 (a.k.a 3200) will do. Get a a-brand like Kingston, Samsung or look around on the forums what will work.
Installing Windows XP
Before installing Windows disable your USB devices, if you fail to do this you run the chance of not installing Windows XP on your C: drive (harddisk) and this will cause you trouble later on. After installation is complete you may enable them again.
Prescott processors & full size AGP cards
As for the GPU (Graphics card), this depends on what you are going to do with it. If you wanna try out at showshifting, and viewing get one with integrated TV tuner. Or use the on-board (some people are quite happy with it) and add a separate PCI tv tuner. If you wanna do hefty gaming (Doom3, Far Cry ... etc) you may want to get an better one. I'm quite happy with my Radeon 9800.
Please note; According to MSI, Prescott processors in combination with full-size AGP (add-in) cards are not supported. This is most likely a power issue since the full-size cards use a lot of power to run. Some forum members, stuborn as they are, are running with a full-size card.
Also note that you are installing a full-size card on your own risk in combination with a Prescott processor.
To calculate your estimated power supply take a look here;
http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
The following graphics cards seem to be working (please add to this thread if you have tested a full-size card with a Prescott processor so I can add it to this document)
Club3D Radeon AIW 9800 PRO
ATI Radeon ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 XT
ATI Radeon 9800 SE
AOPEN Aeolus 5900XT 128 Mb
Wise words from Stu:
If you do not want to take chances, go with a Northwood processor. Apperantly there is little perfomance difference between a Northwood and a Prescott processor, and the Northwood runs slightly cooler too.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 & Bios Update
When installing Windows XP with SP2 make sure you have the latest Bios version loaded (1.3) or install a Microsoft work-around fix. SP2 will not install without it, and you will have a hard time getting your system to work.
The Microsoft work-around fix can be found here;
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885626
The latest bios version can be downloaded here;
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=547&kind=4
To install the latest bios, I would advise against using live-update. Use one of the following options instead;
1) Burn a bootable CD-Rom also containing the bios and flash software, (note some of the original Win98 CD's are bootable to MS-DOS prompt)
2) Create a bootable USB-memory key
--- Download the HP util to create one
--- http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/20306.html
--- Then create a bootable floppy on an other system or download from
--- http://www.allbootdisks.com/
--- (I used the Win98SE No ramdrive )
--- Then use the HP tool (on an system with an floppy drive) and enter a: as the source for booting,
--- and use the above created floppy.
--- Then copy the rest of the files from the a:\ drive (like autoexec.bat, config.sys etc) to the memory key.
--- ... and ... voila one bootable USB
--- make sure in the bios that the boot order of the USB key is before the Harddisk and your set to go.
3) Attach a floppy drive to the Mega 865
Bios update failure
Some people still manage to goof-up their bios, by doing the bios update from windows (winflash, live-update). I think there is only one road to travel when this happens, you have to attach a floppy drive to your mega. Then follow the following instructions (Award bios)
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/boot.htm
Good luck !
PC-Alert
Do not use the PC-Alert version from the MSI website as this does not work together with your Mega 865, instead only use the one on the CD-Rom that was supplied. In general even the supplied PC-Alert has caused a lot of grief (Taking up resources, reboot problems ... etc). If you choose to install PC-Alert, at least remove it from your start-up folder where it is installed. You can always start it manually from the MSI menu in your Start menu.
A good alternative to Pc-Alert is Speedfan, this program should be able to spot your 2 temeperature sensored CPU fans. You can then connect these fans to the CPU temperature sensor and be able to tweak the RPM's according to your need. Speedfan 4.17 can be found here;
http://www.almico.com/speedfan417.exe
Temperatures
As these tiny PC's have very little space, it is quite normal for them to run a bit hot. Do not be alarmed to see CPU temperatures around 60-65 degrees when running on load (depending on your processor of course).
Wireless Network adapter
As for wireless internet, the mega865 has a built-in mini-pci nic (network card). which supports only the 11 Mbps data rate. I think you have to try it out and see how it goes, you can always upgrade to 54 Mbps. I would suggest to get a 54Mbps access point, so you can always upgrade if needed (54Mbps will also work with 11 Mbps) Some forum members have succesfully replaced their Wireless Network adapters with a 54Mbps one. The following network adapters seem to be working;(please add to this thread if you have tested a wireless 54Mbps network adapter so I will add it to this document)
Intel PRO/Wireless BG Network Adapter
6 Channel sound
I recently bought a 5.1 set from Soundblaster. You can connect the 3 connectors to the back of your Mega, then in the Sound util set it up for 5.1 surround sound and you are ready to go. Definately worth it !
Reboot problems
When you run into problems when the Mega reboots suddenly, watch out for a couple of things.
Always check your event/log viewer. It is in your configuration management, but the easiest way to start it is to enter the following in your Run or Command line entry
eventvwr /s
Check if you see red-dots in your application section or system section. Google the problems before dropping them on the forum ! (As most problems are not Mega related IMHO)
One problem I had was caused by BITS 1.5, I had to upgrade to BITS 2.0. (I think it was recently released by Microsoft-Update but I mention it anyway). Bits 1.5 caused my Mega to reboot.
LCD Display / Sound problems
If you have any problems where your front LCD display is not working or your on-board sound is 'missing' first try unplugging your mega from the power outlet (so completely powering down) for 2 minutes. If you still have problems, drop them on this forum.
LCD API ?
Alas, no external programs are available to 'drive' your LCD display. Nor will MSI release an API/Blue print on how to control it.
If you find anything missing here or have additional tips, please add them to this thread and I will update this document.
Good luck with your Mega !
Raymond

rkoppen i salute you
a truly glorious summing up of the main points asked about the Mega 865 in particular, although many points will invariably refer also to the other Mega series
if i can add my tuppence worth, anyone considering going for a powerful graphics card can always shy away from the prescott
i was reading an article just when the prescott core cpus came out and the review basically said that there wasn't really much performance wise between the new prescott and the older Northwood cores.
obviously newer prescotts have higher clock speeds now (3.2? 3.4??), but surely a 2.8ghz CPU is still going to be powerful enough to play the latest games!! (in conjunction with a top graphics card obviously)
is the extra temp increase surely worth the extra couple of hundred mhz?
