MOVED: Windows 7 driver support for the Mega 865 Pro

This topic has been moved to Windows 7.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=128122.0

Nocture,
I have a T60p (8744-J2U) with Windows 7 (Build 7229) runing very very happily. I have 4 GB installed. All the key drivers you need have been released and should work fine on your system.
If you want a super clean install, refer to my post on Device Driver Installation Order thread.
Also, if you want a really stable laptop, DO NOT UPGRADE. Backup your system and data, VERIFY IT and then delete the partitions during install and let Windows 7 partition and format the drive.

12 Pages of info for the Mega 865

Found a great site that has a lot of info on the Mega 865.....12 Pages infact
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mobile/display/msi-mega-865.html
Hope this is useful in answering a few questions about this unit.

Eric,
I'm having exactly the same problems and have also tried all of the suggestions proposed on the forums/help desks ... nothing helps.
To answer your question directly: I haven't been able to publish without a problem when using iWeb 1.1!
iWeb 1.1, I'm afraid, is a shameful excuse for a web publishing application.
Apple has proven that they can deliver quality software and hardware, but iWeb 1.1 is not a good example in this area.
The real problem is that iWen has the promise of a great application from a great company, but I'm currently stuck, waiting for the next update, because I neither have the time nor the patience to deal with this ruin. Thank goodness that I have nothing crucial that depends on this application.
I hope that a future update will fix, not only all of the most obvious bugs, but also some of the other problems with iWeb.
1) Memory consumption is out of control. Just loading my site and looking through it sends the memory usage into the stratospheric 600-700 MB, in one case it went over 1 GB.
2) The User interface in some cases has a rather strange behavior. By this I mean: What is the deal with the 'Preparing to publish' window? Why does it pop on top of everything else?
3) Performance is appalling. Why does it take minutes before you even begin to publish the smallest of changes. (then have the publish process fail anyway)
Let's hope that the problems with iWeb are not indicative of problems with the web-services on the .mac side.
Regards and all the best.

Will there be driver support for the 8600m GT under Windows XP?

Hi!
I would like to run Windows XP on my Santa Rosa Macbook Pro. I know that with Bootcamp 1.3 you get drivers for the 8600m GT - the thing is, that those drivers do not seem to be optimised, for the 3dMark 06-test scores pretty low (no more than 10fps in most tests).
Nvidia does not develop drivers for their mobile graphic cards. So the question is: Will Apple publish XP-drivers for that card in the future?
Or do I have to buy Windows Vista?
And has anyone benchmark-results using Windows XP or Vista respectively?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the welcome!
I score about 2.780 points with 3dmark 06. 3dmark 06 didn't seem to recognize the graphics card, by the way.
Ran also Unreal Tournament 2004 and Dungeon Siege. UT 2004 ran better on my old Macbook (Intel Core Duo, 512 MB), Dungeon Siege had 20-60 fps (not impressive at all for such an old game).
So something seems to be wrong... hope it's the drivers and not the hardware.
Greetings!

Where can I find information if there is going to be Lenovo Windows 8 support for the W510?

Where can I find out if there will be a Lenovo software and drivers pack for Windows 8 for the W510?

'morning.
keep an eye on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT074688
right now, your W510 is on the 'supported' list. i wouldn't be surprised to see links added to the page pointing to model-specific win8 support pages once the os is generally available.

When will Firefox have support for the new MacBook Pro with Retina display?

The new MacBook Pro with Retina Display has a 2880x1800 resolution and is not going to work well with the current version of Firefox. I am running Firefox 14 Beta; is there any news on when you will update Firefox to be compatible with new display?

This no longer works on Nightly build 2012-08-14 :(

Advice needed on which processor to buy for a Mega PC Pro

Hello all, just registered,
Could anyone recommend which processor I should buy for the MEGA PC 865 Pro I just ordered? I can see a Intel Pentium 4 630 3 Ghz Socket 775 800Mhz 2mb Retail Boxed on Ebuyer for £124 which is my price range but I'm not sure why it's good. The only criteria I have is that I will be doing video editing and I want my PC to stay quiet so I suppose there will be a trade-off somewhere. I'm confused about why there are so many processors with so little apparent difference between the.
Also is Windows XP really the best software for a Pentuim 4? I prefer Windows 2000 but I read that XP takes advantage of Hyperthreading. BUt will I really notice any difference?
Thanks

richmitch, the thread you referred to is specifically for the Mega 865
the 865PRO is a slightly different kettle of fish
Win2K should work with no problems, not sure about the hyperthreading though, MSI just say that they only support customers with WinXP though; you can still get drivers for Win2K though
having said that, Win2K and WinXP are still very much the same. if its the graphical look of WinXP you don't like, you can always set it to the "Classic" look, and it looks and feels like Win2K anyway

FOUND: Mega 865 Pro Official TV Tuner (sort of)

Well after numerous emails back and forth to MSI's technical service deptartment, I have received the following answer:
"The S36-0000281-L49 is the correct [and only] tuner card to use with the Mega 865Pro PC in order to function under Instant On and Home Theater applications."
What is this card you ask, well if you type in the model number at msicomputer.com you get a description of the "MEGA 865 Pro TV Tuner Card". http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=MEGA_865_Pro_TV_Tuner_Card&class=gs
It has the same chipset as the TV@nywhere Master (Conexant CX23883). There is no picture of the card, link to purchase the card, or any support for the card (ie drivers, manuals). I asked MSI if this is a real card, or something that they intended to sell in the future and they responded that "it has been out on the market for awhile and since the unit has been phased out, you can contact our sales team for the card availability: http://www.msicomputer.com/company/Sales_inquiries.asp".
I ran a google on the model number and the name of the card which turned up one site apparently selling this card (different model number): http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=17418&vpn=MS-236-000028&manufacture=MicroStar
Apparently this is the elusive optional TV Tuner that MSI does not advertise anywhere on their websites. Does it work or even exist? Beats me.

Look, do what most of us have done, by a hybrid digital analogue FM/ or dual digital tv tuner card and forget about instanton and home theater
use MCE 2005.
using XP Hibernate is just as fast as instantOn anyway

Win XP installation failure on MEGA 865 PRO

I'm fighting with my MEGA 865pro, Celeron D 341,2x256 RAM, HDD Maxtor 200GB SATA , DVD-RW LG.
Everything went ok up to the XP installation, i.e. I installed instant-On on an empty disk (it runs and works). Then I boot a Win XP install CD, and it hangs a second after displaying the initial message: "..detecting hardware....". The HDD access led stays on. The same for XP SP1 and SP2. Any BIOS tweaking does not help.
After XX tries, I found out the SATA HDD is the bad guy, as the XP setup goes ok if I use my old ATA disk, or even if I use both the SATA and the ATA disks.
Interestingly, Win 2000 installs *without any problems* (but then InstantOn does not boot)!!! Gentoo and Ubuntu linux work as well.
I'm trying to install the absolutely standard and ("only") recommended configuration, so what ... :(
I've seen few posts about this here and there (e.g. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85690.msg616103#msg616103), but no solutions so far :((((
Thanx

Dunno if you allready did, but you need to have the latest BIOS to run Win XP SP2 on the MEGA 865 Pro. When i bought mine, Sp2 wasn't out yet and things worked fine. When i tried installing SP2, everything went fine, untill i boot. Black screen and nothing, after a while MSI released a new BIOS fixing the problem, newest BIOS i think is 1.30

Booting Xp with wireless set to gateway on Mega 865 Pro

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how I can set the wireless card up to automatically switch to Gateway mode after XP has booted.
It goes into Station Mode by default but I can see a setting to say I want it to start in Gateway mode.
Any Ideas?
Danny

Printer Driver Support for Computers Running Windows 8 Release Preview

Printer driver support for computers running Windows 8 Release Preview
HP is working to help customers have the best experience with HP printers connected to PCs running the final release of Windows 8. The pre-release time is a development period when HP develops and tests printer driver solutions. HP’s current plan is for Windows 8 compatible printers to be available when the new operating system is released to the public. HP is working with Microsoft to include drivers in the Windows 8 operating system for HP printers introduced in recent years.
There may be a variety of sources for a printer driver/solution for your HP printer on a computer running Windows 8 Release Preview.
inOS:
An in-Operating System (inOS) driver is a basic driver that is included within the operating system. You do not need to download or install any software from HP. Windows 8 Relase Preview contains several inOS drivers. If an inOS driver is available for your printer, you will have at least basic print capability with USB and Network and basic scan capability with USB only (if your printer supports scanning).
Windows Update:
There might be a more functional or more up-to-date driver available for your printer through Microsoft Windows Update. If Windows Update is enabled, then the Windows Update process activates automatically when you connect (USB and Network connections) the printer to the computer. It searches online for the most recent print driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more functional than the currently installed driver in Windows 8, the computer downloads and installs this driver.
HP Supplied Printer Driver/Solutions:
Although HP does not formally support any pre-release versions of Windows Operating Systems, including Windows 8 Release Preview, we may supply some full functionality drivers* prior to the official release of Windows 8. These drivers may be supplied as a courtesy to our valued HP customers through this Support Forum, though no formal support will be available otherwise. We welcome feedback within these support forums. Please check back for further updates as the official release of Windows 8 approaches.
* Full feature drivers provide full product functionality, plus valuable software to help you get the most out of your printer.

Windows 7 64bit driver support for GX623

Hi, i have GX623 laptop (CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo P8400; RAM: 4GB ), i am interested why there is no Windows 7 64bit driver support for this model ? I really would like to run some 64bit software on it.
If my laptop hardware support it why MSI don't release drivers so my software can also support it. In some 32bit drivers there are some 64bit drivers but still not all for complete functionality.
On some older posts from 2009 I see responses that windows 7 64bit is very new so that's the reason for no driver support but in 2011 surely that is not the case.
Can we expect 64bit drivers for Windows 7 in near future or support for 64bit software isn't planed for this model?

So is it officially GX623 supported for Windows 64bit install because I still don't see any drivers for Windows 7 64bit or maybe Windows 7 64bit don't need any drivers?
Hello anybody here? Anybody working here?

Windows 7 driver support for T60(p)

Hello all
Im a happy owner of a Thinkpad T60P, 2007-8LG model. However, im getting much tired of Windows XP and want to use the upcoming Windows 7 OS, but im a bit unsure if there will be any driver updates for the T60 models.
I've seen the Windows 7 beta drivers page from Lenovo, but this only includes drivers from T61 and up. Can anyone confirm that there will be drivers released for T60(p) models as well (or in case the product line is ditched).
Thanks in advance
Solved!
