MS-6545 (MSI 850 Pro 5) - PVR-150MCE - Windows Media Center - Help!

Hi, I have a MSI 850 Pro 5 motherboard, which is actually my old system and I wanted to make a Windows Media Center PC from it. So I bought a Hauppauge PVR-150MCE TV-card and put it in. Now the motherboard does not boot with this card into it. It doesn't even show anything on the screen: the monitor stays off...
It only beeps - one × long two × short. This means that I have a bad video adapter as I have an Award BIOS. Nonsence of course, it worked fine without the card into the motherboard.
I have a ATI Radeon 9600 video adapter. I wonder what's wrong? Does the motherboard see the TV card as a faulty VGA card while disregarding the real AGP card?
I use the latest BIOS. (1.07) Is there anything I should adjust in the BIOS settings to make my computer work with this TV-card?
Thanks for helping me out. (I hope)

You can try using a differant VGA card, possably it is the combination that is causing the problem.
I think it is the combination of motherboard and tv-card because other people have the Radeon 9600 too. And I can't find anything from google with search terms like pvr-150mce incompatible intel 850

Max IDE 300GB and MSI 850 pro 5

Hi,
I recently bought a Maxtor IDE 300GB HDD for my MSI 850 pro 5 but the motherboard just recognise a 131GB HDD.
Where is the problem: the HDD (I can still change it) or the motherboard (too old for supporting that HDD)?
OS is MXP SP2.
CPU is Intel P4 2,8 GHz
RAM 1Gb
Thank you
Giangui

You may not need to have the IAA installed, the EnableLargeLBA patch would just do for SP2. Anyway now you've solved your problem, congratulations!

*TERRIBLE* "Write" speeds w/2x Samsung 850 Pro Internal SSD (RAID-0).. HELP! ( pics)

[url]http://imgur.com/a/5p05u[/url]
Hello.. I was really hoping somebody could help me out with this, as I'm pretty much starting to lose hope..
I've attached as many relative screenshots as possible, to make it easier to quickly see what's going on.
I've got [b]2x brand-new, Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD's[/b] installed inside my MacBook Pro.. [b]One inside the hard-drive bay, and one inside the Optical Bay[/b] (SuperDrive Bay), using an OWC Data-Doubler..
I've got these drives configured using Disk Utility, into a RAID-0 striped configuration..
[u]The drives are rated @:[/u]
[b]Sequential Read:[/b] 550MB/s
[b]Sequential Write:[/b] 520MB/s
[img]http://i.imgur.com/sY83PX0.png[/img]
So "theoretically", I should be achieving approximately close to double these speeds (since that's the basis behind RAID-0 configurations)
[u]Both SSD's are connected internally via SATA-III (6Gigabit Link + 6Gigabit Negotiated Link Speed)[/u].. Both in the hard-drive bay, as well as in the Optical Bay (confirmed in pictures)..
I'm getting [b]*EXCELLENT* "Read" Speeds[/b], yet [b]*HORRIBLE* "Write Speeds[/b].. to the point that the RAID-0 software configuration is not even achieving *near* the "Write" Speed of even one of these drives.. let alone 2 of these drives in RAID-0..
[img]http://i.imgur.com/0jw9Z7l.png[/img]
I've tried contacting Samsung directly regarding this issue, but since they don't exactly get along with Apple, and even more-so, dislike anything that has to do with "RAID" configurations, I was left with practically no help on that end..
I've tried contacting Apple, who said that I'm pretty much on my own, in terms of support, since [i]they[/i] don't exactly get along with Samsung either.. and don't provide much of any support whatsoever, when it comes to third-party, hardware components that are not upgraded directly through Apple themselves.. (aka no support for user-end personal upgrades)
Both of these drives are [b]*Brand New*[/b] directly out-of-the-box, shipped from Amazon, as "new, un-opened" items..

I apologize in advance if there's a lot of pictures to go through, however, I know how much of a pain in the *** it can be to troubleshoot these sort of problems, let alone, try to help somebody else troubleshoot these problems while not physically being there in person.. I tried to provide the [b]most comprehensive[/b] troubleshooting steps I've taken thus far, as to hopefully make this thread as fruitful as possible, and eliminate any unnecessary steps that have already been taken..
I've tried re-formatting and re-installing OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 several times now, hoping that maybe one of them would allow the RAID formation to work as it should, yet none so far have proven successful..
If you have any time to look through and read this thread, I can't tell you how appreciative I'd be for your help and any advice possible that you can give me.. I do large amounts of audio processing, producing, along with many other taxing system processes, so I'd really like to get this RAID-0 configuration working as it should be..
Please do not waste your time by bashing RAID-0 or writing an unhelpful, opinionated comment that does not move this process forward.. I understand the risks of RAID-0, I run [b]daily backups[/b], as well as having an Apple Time Capsule running in full-force, all day long.. My data is well backed-up, and I understand the risks.
If anybody has dealt with this sort of issue before, please, give me any advice that you can.. I tried to put in the most effort possible with uploading and embedding all of these photos, as to not waste your time and to hopefully make this troubleshooting process as smooth as possible
Thank you all so much in advance! :apple:

Will QuickTime Pro Decoders work in Windows Media Player?

I am working on a Notebook/Laptop with Windows XP Home. This machine does not play DVDs in Windows Media Player. I am considering upgrading to Quicktime Pro for all of its functions. I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Thanks...

I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Probably not. QuickTime Pro doesn't include a DVD decoder anyway; if you want to play unprotected DVDs in QuickTime, you need the MPEG-2 playback component, which is completely separate from and not part of QuickTime Pro. Protected DVDs require a dedicated DVD player application.

MOVED: MSI X58 pro and core i7 920 c0 overclocking help

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=131631.0

When your time permits, list 'all' your systems components, OS etc., including PSU +12V amps on the rail(s).

cannot even get it to post at 3.6ghz with manual voltage increases in all things, and auto doesnt help, is this normal?
Yes, when it isn't necessary to do "increases in all things".
Quote
Im not very confident with doing the ioh mod but im getting 90 degrees with no overclock
The addition of a fan to direct air flow at the IOH, will reduce the temp. The Antec Spot Cool works well for this. Aftermarket CPU coolers have taken away the engineered passive air flow the stock cooler provides (presuming you are not using the stock cooler). 90c is in spec, so RMA solely upon that is doubtful. Again, when time permits, include what OC goals you are looking for as well. Most OC'ing takes time, patience, & trial & error.

I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours. I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected. I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display. Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 crashing in Windows Vista - Need help

Hi,
I have installed Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 in my system which has OS Windows Vista with SP1 and everytime I open a pdf using my newly installed adobe acrobat it crashes.
The general trend it after 10 seconds from opening that pdf file, it just automatically closes itself. I checked the system process and didn't see the adobe process running after it closed itself. So I feel it just crashes for some unknown reason.
I have 1440 X 900 resolution. Don't know if that can be a problem, but I have tried reducing the resolution too but with no help.
Can anyone help me solve this problem.

Since this is a USER TO USER forum, not Adobe support, and as the
only way another user could reply is if they had that exact problem
and also had a solution, you may need to contact Adobe for help

MSI NF980-G65 Blue Screen during Windows XP Install - HELP !!!

I have a MSI NF980-G65 motherboard and it works great with Windows 7 but I can't install Windows XP Home edition 32 bit. Win XP checks hardware, then loads all initial files and when the blue screen with the license agreement should pop open I get a blue screen with an error message that says the computer was stopped to prevent damage to the hardware, that the HDD might not have enough room on it and/or the BIOS might need updating.
The HDD has Win 7 on it and it's a 250GB drive so there should be more than enough room on the HDD and the NF980 came with the latest BIOS v1.4
Anyone have any experience and a fix so I can install Win XP ? Thanks

Then the problem is elsewhere, as that was fixed with SP1.
Or his disk doesn't even contain that level.
However, when pre-partitioned to NTFS even without SP1 should install.
I doubt the problem is his CDrom.
What he needs to do is get http://www.bootdisk.com/ntfs.htm
Run NTFS4DOS and do a checkdisk.
Yes that will solve his problem, as Windows (from 2000 to W7) are to stupid to do a checkdisk when the disk is in a certain state.
And even a Windows bootdisk can't solve it and crashed with the error he has.
Only Linux or NTFS-DOS can do a check disk and restore the error M$-NTFS makes it failing too boot or reinstall.

Macbook pro + boot camp + Windows Media Center = can't logon

I just finished installing Media Center on my macbook and the install seemed to go fine. However now when I get the XP logon screen it prompts me for a password and no matter what password I use it gives me the following error:
"The system cannot log you on due to the following error:
The specified domain either does not existor could not be contacted.
Please try again or consult your system administrator"
Any Thoughts?

never mind, i blitzed the xp drive and reinstalled. 3rd times a charm

MSI K7N420 Pro + Adaptec DuoConnect + Maxtor 5000DV = USB 2.0 & FireWi

I've had my MSI K7N420 Pro for about a year and apart from initial teething problems it's been rock solid (BIOS v2.2). After much deliberation I decided not to upgrade the motherboard and purchased the Adaptec DuoConnect PCI card to add USB 2.0 & FireWire ports along with an external Maxtor 5000DV USB 2.0 / FireWire combo HDD.
A couple of frustrating days later I've concluded this motherboard does not like the DuoConnect and in fact it may be related to this nForce PCI write issue referred to elsewhere. Some tests I did include:
(1) the HDD works fine attached to the built-in USB 2.0 & FireWire ports in a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP
(2) the HDD works fine attached to the DuoConnect USB 2.0 & FireWire ports in a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP
(3) the HDD works fine attached to the built-in USB 1.1 ports in the MSI K7N420 Pro
(4) the HDD fails miserably attached to the DuoConnect USB 2.0 & FireWire ports in the MSI K7N420 Pro
In last case I would always get dialog boxes popup about a "Delayed Write Failure" and / or errors like the following in the event log:
Event Type:   Error

I have updated all software drivers etc to be the latest version. The only thing left is the BIOS, which I am very reluctant to flash unless others think it will help.
Has anyone else had these problems? Does anyone else think it is related to the nForce PCI write issue and will this ever get fixed in a new BIOS??
MSI K7N420 Pro (BIOS v2.2)
Windows 2000 SP 3
nVidia nForce drivers v2.0

Well I flashed to 2.7 without any problems... used /CC /LD switches to clear CMOS and load defaults afterwards.
The results are a mixed bag... the HDD works fine attached to the USB 2.0 ports! However attached to the FireWire ports it either fails to detect, or if I boot with the drive connected it detects but has an error in the event log and fails to show the HDD in the file explorer.
I did't expect different slots to make a difference as I'm using ACPI / IPCA (APIC disabled), but I tried 3 different slots anyway to no avail... the IRQs were always assigned to shared IRQ 11 as expected.

Windows 8 Pro volume license version does not have "Add Features" therefore cannot install media center.

As the title describes, Windows 8 Pro installed from the Volume License ISO does not have the Add Features wizard, and as such it appears to be impossible to install the Windows Media Pack.
I've consulted with Live Chat support who cannot provide an answer to this, they simply said it should be done through "Add Features" which does not exist.
A similar thread was answered by saying install from a Retail disc and upgrade. However this is hardly a solution, paying for an additional Windows license when you already have a volume license.
Can anyone, preferably MSFT, provide a proper answer on how Windows Media Center can be install on Windows 8 Pro which is volume licensed. If it can't be done can some reason or justification be given as to why it can't be done.
Please see previous thread here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itproinstall/thread/d63b46e5-c542-4dbe-be41-c46cda440723

I would like to pile on here and say "ditto" to all of the above. you have a licensed product and they don't even support the MSFT version of a DVD player. Nah, no one EVER has to play a older technology in corporate America due to training or presentation
(A funny clip of a movie before a ppt)? Nah.
But, I'd like to add a warning to MSFT senior management. I know you want to force everyone to use YOUR cloud just like apple did to theirs. Wont' work. Some of us refuse to sign onto a web site and let you track all of our moves... some
distrust the cloud (Target anyone?) etc etc. All good points, now for the out of the park. The Harvard Business Review some years ago did a study on long term profitability of a company (you have to have a profit to stay in business). The
most highly correlated factor: Customer Sat. Sorry, but I don't see customer sat in all of these entries.
IF you made your product easier to use and NOT have to have a IT support person to move from a small workgroup to a server configuration (and PS, what in the heck to you get from a workgroup? File Replication, Remote access to outlook files as one
does via exchange? Really, every computer is in a workgoup any more, so there is ZERO value add in a workgroup on a MSFDT platform, however there is great value, even with a couple of users, in an Exchange/Windows Server Platform -- so why so you make
it so damned hard to implement one... Difficult for one to implement in an SMB environment (so lets just kill SBS) but growth from small business is where your growth is... just like IBM did before you, MSFT only appears to be listening to Fortune 500 it execs,
but I really digressed) This is just one more pain in the butt to use MSFT in the small environment. So what is the rational business decision? Yes one can pick MSFT but with Zero value add in the workgroup, why not them other guys (who may
be apple, or android or even some Linux platforms)
SO you want to continue to mil the cash cow, listen to your forums.
One more note on the STORE. Lets say you do pick a competitive product in the windows store. Have them been verified they don't contain malware like MSFT products? I believe the answer here is "NO" So this adds another layer of complexity
and security risk on the corporate problem of "How do I play a DVD on my laptop" I am sure none of you has ever played a movie on your laptop flying for business?
So, MSFT management, let me paraphrase the posts above: "WHY don't you support our business needs"
And remember, people buy to have their needs met..... (IBM Planned Sales Call)
If you don't meet small business needs, someone will... and that too is fraught with risk.
(For example of how to make computers easy to use in SMB I reference SBS, the Systems Management Interface tool in IBM Unix, or best of all, the AS/400.... something even Ellison couldn't kill, though he tried.

Puchase of Win 8.1 pro Media Center 64 bit and received 32 bit How do i correct this mistake ? Microsoft made it?

My system is Win 8.1 PRO 64 bit. I tried to run a a dvd movie and was told to purchase Win media Center for $ 9.95 and I did Microsoft sent me Win Media center with 32 bit ? Is this compatable with the 64 bit operating system ? Jim Young

As I know, most 32 bit programs can work fine on a 64 bit system.
Regarding to
“Microsoft sent me Win Media center with 32 bit” what did you mean by this sentence, a key?

Adding Media Center feature not an option on Win 8.1 Pro

Found the instructions below most helpful in terms of adding a Windows Media Center upgrade key to my Windows 8.1 pro (full, clean install) and the option "add features to Windows 8.1" is not an option listed...(The only option showing is "turn
windows options on and off")... Therefore, the path for purchasing or adding this feature seems impossible to find.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/19680.adding-windows-media-center-to-windows-8-1-pro.aspx
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/feature-packs
Two questions:
1. Should I be able to use the older Windows 8 Media Center Pack product key, if able to get to that point?
2. Why am I not able to find the "add features" option, having looked from multiple directions?

You don't say that you attached the iso to the VM. The easiest way to do
that is to connect to the VM and then on the console, pull down the
"Media" menu, Select "Insert Disk", then browse to the ISO and select it.
Then under the "Action" menu, select "Reset".
You can also mount an iso in the settings for the VM.
