MSI A58M-E35 Motherboard, Theres NO Vista drivers!!

Just bought a MSI A58M-E35 motherboard and Theres NO Vista drivers!!
Win7 drivers dont work, gonna have to exchange for one of your competitors, that makes me very unhappy...
Did msi forget that vista existed?

You are reading it wrong.
We have consumer products, i.e. the versions that consumers buy and which is supported under the Mainstream support.
Then there are Business and Developer products will and they will receive at least 10 years of online self-help support.
Your license will determine which category you fall in.

Extended Support is not offered for Consumer and Multimedia products.
We have just been through the XP fiasco. Its still supported for the industry, but consumers get no more updates.
Mainstream support ends Jan2015. That's the one that consumers are entitled to.
Maybe so, but I can't see how...  Here's another link to the same chart:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/default.aspx?LN=en-us&x=8&y=13
Note the heading for the chart:
Phases of the Support Lifecycle for Business, Developer, Consumer and Multimedia Software
To me, that says that the consumer versions of Win7 go to extended support in 2015, in which the only updates people will receive for it until EoL in 2020 are security updates.  Exactly the same thing was done with XP, IIRC.  The only updates WinXP received for the past several years were security updates and regular updates for the XP version of MSE.  Why should Microsoft treat Win7 any different? As you see in the chart, paid-for support is in a different category from security updates.  You can get the same paid-for support in Windows 7 in the extended period that you can buy right now for Win7 in the mainstream period.  The only service carried forward into the extended period that will continue to be free of charge are the security updates as hotfixes, patches, and feature updates for Win7 will be discontinued when Win7 support shifts into extended support next year.

  • Satellite A30 - Are there any Vista drivers?

    Hello.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A30-504 laptop for 5 years now, which came with WinXp preinstalled on it.
    I want now to change it for Windows Vista, which I have checked and can run on my system.
    The only thing I now need are drivers. I've checked the site and I can't find any... But I've read that people +did+ install Vista on their A30 Satellites... Do you know where I could possibly find the drivers?
    Thank you.

    I understand you but in the whole story you must be a little bit realistic. You probably know that Microsoft has for Vista usage defined some rules (hardware specification) and notebook manufacturers must offer hardware that will work with new hardware components.
    In the whole story sound chip was very interesting.
    Anyway support for one specific notebook model is not so easy because all drivers, tools and utilities must be created. So you must understand that Toshiba has offered so many models after your A30 and it is logic that Toshiba has made a kind of dead line and older notebooks as model xy will not be Vista supported.
    The same is with other notebook manufacturers.

  • A78M-E35 motherboard not booting!

    Hello! I have problem with MSI A78M-E35 motherboard. I installed CPU, one memory stick and GPU, plugged all wires (ATX 24 pin and 4 pic for CPU), also front panel connectors.
    Board: MSI A78M-E35 (S/N 601-7721-150B1401110990)
    Processor: AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz/4MB FM2+
    Video: NVidia GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB 128 bit
    DIMM: Kingston DDR3-1866 4096MB PC3-14900 HyperX FURY
    It's start spinning fans, but no boot next. Just a black screen. Please help, what version of bios my motherboard have?

    without a supported CPU installed you have very little chance of being able to flash the board unless its done VIA a SPI flash programmer hooked upto JSPI1 on the board near the BIOS chip!
    so you only have 3 ways to get it fixed:
    1: RMA the board to MSI to get it reflashed
    2: find a shop near you that can do a SPI flash of a board
    3: borrow a supported CPU to get it to post so you can perform a flash
    (if you can make a USB stick with the updated BIOS file on it and place it into a USB 2.0 port on the board it may be able to blind flash to the newer version but its not very likely to work but you could give that a go!)

    Hello welcome to the forum,
    nForce3 isn't supported in Vista.
    And this is the wrong section of the forum to ask for Vista drivers, see the Vista Section.
    Change the power profile to minimal, that should enable C'n'Q. If it doesn't, get the driver from from AMD.

  • Vista drivers problems Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Noteb

    First thing to do: haveyour systemchecked out, if windows says the hardware is failing there may really be something wrong with it.
    If the SB card works in an XP machine there may be a problem in the the PCI slot or controller on the motherboard, either way have a tech shop look at it. If thehardware allchecks out: before putting the card back in completely delete the old driver and software, download the new one without installing it, then put the card in and windows should try to auto-install with the new driver.P.S. the platinum version is the one with thecontrol panel that slots into a dri've bay, if you have one of those, it's a platinum, if not, it's a regulHi all, how are you
    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ430N/B notebook, and I'm trying to install Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook on it (Unfortunately, the notebook came with windows vista business from factory).
    This notebook has a Texas Instruments PCMCIA controller.
    Under "Device Manager" the PCMCIA controller is described as "Texas
    Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus Controller", but on Sony's
    webpage the driver that seems to be related to it is "Texas
    Instruments PCI74 Integrated FlashMedia Controller Driver".
    It is kind of all in one solution from Texas Instruments (PCMCIA
    controller, Memory Card reader, and Firewire controller).
    Please, may someone help me to answer the questions bellow
    1)Are there any kind of compatibility problem between this notebook PCMCIA controller (described above), and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
    2)I've already brought this notebook to Sony's support service, so they could verify if there is any kind of hardware problem with the notebook. Sony's technician wasn't able to find any hardware problems on it, but I'm experiencing the problem described below:
    2.)Every time that I plug this sound card on my notebook, and I try to install Creative's latest windows Vista drivers(Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series Vista Driver 2.2.0002), thus It leads me to a Blue Screen during the driver installation process. Please, Does somebody know what could be this problem root causeIt is very weird, even if i try to install this sound card on clean windows vista install, then it leads me to blue screen. Besides, I have another PCMCIA card from another manufacturer, and I was able to install its windows vista drivers with no problem.(It sounds that Creative labs' vista drivers is the problem root cause as I've tested this sound card on a different notebook with windows xp and It worked fine).
    3)Does anyone know if creative is planning to release a windows vista driver that allows the users to use all of this sound card featuresSo far the latest driver available doesn't support even DVD-Audio. Have creative labs discontinued this product
    I appreciate any help you can give me,
    thanks in advance,
    Rogerr ZS.

    The best advice I can give is to fully remove ALL Creative software.We've compiled a list of entries that will cause problems here. It's very important before installing newer files.http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/Then install some better drivers and see if that cures your issues. The 2.2.0002 drivers are really, really awful, 99% of people I've spoken to had problems with them. I personally like 2.5.0002 Hope this helps.

  • Vista Drivers - Please read here first before making a new post

    We all want drivers for Vista as soon as possible. However no one here can predict when a driver for a given product will be released. This is a User to User forum so there is no one here from MSI to ask about when or if a driver will come out. We all want the same thing but please be patient as it may take some time for MSI like any gear maker to complete and test any new driver. Watch the MSI product page for your gear to see when the driver is uploaded. Vista has a lot of built in drivers but we realise that this may not cover some of your gear. We do understand your frustration at having to wait on certain drivers but no one here has any part in how fast they will be completed or tested.
    We ask that you refrain from posting a bunch of topics about Vista Drivers that are not out as there is little we can do here to find any answers for you. We are only users like you who are also waiting like you are now.

    if you really cannot wait, the first place to look for Vista drivers is the chipset manufacturer themselves (for peripherals, look on the device manufacturers' website). look through their download sections and you may find Beta (use at own risk) or even final release versions
    many hardware manufacturers are slow at releasing new drivers, it took several years for some hardware to eventually get stable Windows XP drivers (my Mustek scanner is running with hacked Windows 2000 drivers because there were never any official XP drivers released), and for some older hardware you may never even see new drivers
    Download hardware chipset manufacturers' drivers

  • Qosmio G10-133: Where to find NVIDIA GeForce FX Go6600 Vista drivers

    I have a Qosmio G10-133 with the upgraded motherboard which I believe has the Nvidia GeForce FX Go6600 graphics chip, not the older motherboard which had the 5900 chip.
    I am trying to find a recommended driver for this chip when using Vista as an operating system.
    I know Toshiba no longer support this discontued model and certainly do not have the drivers on their website.
    Anybody got any ideas where I can obtain a suitable driver, or even if there is one.
    Nvidia's website just states that invidiual laptop manufacturers adapt drivers for their chips and don't provide a driver.
    Any ideas?

    From my understanding the Toshiba doesnt support any Vista drivers for the Qosmio G10 The Vista seems to be supported since Qosmio G30 series
    I have read several threads about the compatible graphic drivers for Vista OS and the _www.laptopvideo2go.com_ website provides some nVidia drivers.
    But note; these drivers are not tested and therefore you can install and use it only at your own risk
    Best regards

  • MSI H67MA-E35-B3 S/PDIF internal connector

    A quick question before I decide on buying a new motherboard... Does the MSI H67MA-E35-B3 come with an S/PDIF out connector/bracket for its internal header??
    Thanks.

     If they don't come with one there are other brackets readily available that will work on it. Those S/PDIF brackets rarely come with a MB.

  • New Vista drivers for my £210 X-Fi Elite plea

    built a new rig P5E core 2, Geforce 8800 gt, The sound card which came with the motherboard, a pcie version no less, was like listening to sound with ear mufflers, so I decided to get a Fatality xfi sound card, it did sound better but not as good as my old audigy 4, so in a moment of madness I spent money on the xfi elite pro. It sounded great, better than the audigy 4.
    With Asio plug-in and foorbar in content creation mode, mp3 and wave files sounded as good as or even better than some high end cd players. I thought this was the perfect card, but when I plugged in my microphone, I started to get very bad feedback noise. The recording port at the back of the card has got some expensi've ADC doing the work. So why was I getting the excessi've interference noise when recording sounds with my mic. I was going to return the thing but due to the good sound quality I decided to keep it and pull out the mic. I am using a webcam mic for online chat. It doesn't sound as good but it works without any problems i.e. no hiss or feedback.
    I decided to upgrade to windows Vista sp, everything is running much faster than xp. I have 4g of ram and windows Vista's superfech really speeds up everything when there is 4g of ram. Creative Xfi drivers for Vista suck compared to Xp drivers. The sound quality had changed big time. Everything sounds dull, and no Asio support.
    Creative can you please update the Vista drivers for my Xfi elite pro, which cost me ?20.
    In the past I have spent a lot of my money on creative sounds cards: SoundBlaster li've, Audigy , 2 and 4. Mainly because at the time it felt like creative were bring exciting and innovating technology out on a regular basis. But now it has been more than 3yr since creative has released any new high end hardware and there driver team seems retarded. If creative doesn't release better drivers for the xfi elite pro card by the end of the year, I will never buy another creative sound card or any of their other product again. That is a promise.

    I also got the X-fi elite pro, cost me a lot of money. You'd think there will be some good support with that. In XP everything works great but i'd really like to make the step to Vista.
    I really don't get how there current top model sound card isn't fully supported by the more and more populair Windows Vista, that's just stupid. Never had any problems with Creative before this, but the last few days have really been an eye-opener. If they don't release some proper drivers soon (or at least say they are working on them) i'll be done with Creative too.

  • MSI P55-GD80 Motherboard Problems

    Well i got the MSI P55-GD80 but the mobo was bad(so said the MSI representative i spoke to) the Intel Matrix Storage Manager is for SATA RAID and AHCI mode for the mobo drivers, wouldn't open it just kept saying an error has occurred and that the window needed to be closed, also when i turned my PC on, the white formating loading bar appeared everytime i turned it on(not that it was formating though), than the normal windows loading bar would load next as normal, the control center for the overclocking was kinda messed up too seance there is like 4 OC choices and they kept going crazy every time i would chose a mod, when i chose "cooling", power just shut off for the mobo, when i chose "game mod" PC just bluescreened me but only with the OC control center, also when i went on standby the HDD would be the only thing going on standby and the mobo(heatsink, fans, lights etc..) would stay on, eventually when i pressed the mouse and then the keyboard the HDD would boot up. The rest was fine, it even booted my 4GB ddr3 ram at its 1600MHz frequency and I'm using Windows XP-32bit, the ocgenie only got to 3.54GHz eventhought i have the Nirvana NV120 Premium from Zerotherm which is awsome for OC(temps were a constant 33*C idle when oc genie was on and 27*C Without OC-Genie) also the liveupdate would freeze on me on the third file and there was a total of like 8 update files didn't remember the names but it was for the mobo drivers. If anyone else has problems or issues with the MSI P55-GD80 motherboard please let me know.. or comment on this thanks... 

    Please post your full system specs and PSU spec amps. >>Posting Guide<<
    Have you tried reinstalling Windows?
    Do not use Live Update for updating of drivers, go to MSI site to see if you really require the updates, which are not a must most of the time. Also uninstall Live Update from your OS as well.

    Exactly how do i RMA the board? Can I just send it back from where I purchased it?
    Hold up there buddy, dont rma it yet. I have the same board, had the same problem straight out of box. MSI sent out a batch of those boards with the wrong jumper settings. Look on your motherboard near the rear  ios inputs. look for a header labeled jusb-pw2. flip that jumper to the top two pins and clear the cmos and you should be good
