MSI drivers installed?

How do I find out if I have any MSI drivers installed on my PC? I remember installing the card and installing Nvidia's drivers but I'm not sure if I installed any of MSI's before that.
Is there any specific files from MSI to search for on my PC? If I do find those files, is it ok to just delete them?
Thanks,
TaiBo

If you want to find out what drivers are installed on your PC, you can notice it by looking your video card´s Windows name. If it´s MSI MS-StarForce... instead of nVIDIA Geforce..., then you are using MSI drivers.
Also, if you installed MSI drivers, you should have 2 pages, one for overclocking and the other to check AGP and video card specific related information, but you cannot change anything on this last page.

Alternative to MSI drivers with overclock settings too! (UPDATED)

Hello all,
Well, this has been posted a lot and I just wanted it here plain as day so we don't have to keep posting with this same answer.
Many times, due to poor configuration. or any number of reasons the MSI drivers overclocking can be a bit on the buggy side, Coolbits is one of the best basic alternatives, and what you should be using anyway for overclocking and setting your card's options, however, in some cases the MSI drivers may be the only thing that works for your sytem, so this may not be for you, the only way to tell is to try it and see.
Of course there are other utilities like Riva Tuner and nVtweak, that can take settings to another level of tweakdom, but for simplicity purposes Coolbits is the basics.
Driver Information
Download the latest Drivers from the nVidia Website. Again, you may have to search the internet for a previous version that works better for your configuration. you can go to http://driverheaven.net where they have a whole archive full of previous versions.
Also, you can go directly to nVidia's FTP site and get all the past versions here ftp://download1.nvidia.com/windows
While you are at Driverheaven, download and install the utility called Driver Cleaner, or go directly to the site dedicated to the utility http://www.drivercleaner.net

QI have MSI drivers installed but the Tabs are still present in Display Properties, how do I remove them?
A MSI's clock tabs are controlled by msicpl.dll and will not removed, you will manually have to eradicate the file yourself. It should be in the windows directory but if you cannot find it just do a search.
Keep in mind that XP's System Restore can also complicate things, while I won't recommend disabling it, it's something to think about.
*Supplimental Information*
With the intoduction of MSI's DOT Overclocking DOT Explained utility, some of the guesswork is taken out of the art of overclocking your card, however, don't assume that it is safe. Overclocking in ANY case can damage hardware if not done properly. One must take proper measures in cooling, and become educated in the dynamics of overclocking in order to get the best results. Just remember that heat shortens the life of any component, overclocking simply accelerates it. Liken it to smoking, one will most likely have a shorter lifespan, or have health problems. Some may live a normal lifespan, but the former is usually the case.

Download the attached file and extract the .reg file to your desired location. Then, just doubleclick on the .reg file, this will enable the extra options including the Core and RAM settings for your card.

Windows 7 installer drivers vs MSI drivers - Extreme slow install

Problem: When I run the Windows 7 Pro installation CD, every screen take a very long time (from 10 minutes to 2 hours) to proceed to the next prompt.
Tried: First tired installing with legacy + UEFI and now reinstalling OS with UEFI which both produce same results. In fact, the worst part was reformatting the SSD to support a GPT partition. This is taking hours.
Considering trying: Gskill thread and vBios upgrade thread
Solution: After OS is running, I first apply drivers for on board network card, then install MSI Live Update 6 and update all MSI drivers.
Results: OS boots normal and normal response times on boots.
Question: There is a "Load Driver" option during the advance option when installing Windows 7 when you select the partition to install Windows. Before I try process of elimination, any suggestion on which driver could be the culprit?
After I finish this next install, I should have list of the drivers that MSI Live Update says it updates. I hoping this is a known issue, and I am just failing to find it on the forum.
Board: MSI Z97-GD65
Bios: Click Bios Version 2.2
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K HaswellQuad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150
Ram: Gskill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) CL 9
Vid: EVGA GTX 780 3GB
PSU: Corsair CX750M 750W (62A +12V single rail)
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 250GB SATA 6Gb/s TLC
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 250GB SATA 6Gb/s TLC
HDD: Western Digital 1TB 7200 WD10EFRX SATA 6.0Gb/s
OS: Win 7 Pro 64bit in UEFI mode
OC: Not yet

Root Cause established!
Well mostly...
First, I did as suggested.
1. I bought a USB 3.0 drive and made a bootable image of the Windows 7 install using UEFI. While there, I read up on Windows Automated Installation Kit and building a custom WIM to install drivers. We do this type of thing at my company all the time, but it has always been the responsibility of others.
2. After taking all night for the OS to install, I methodically install each driver manually and waiting the dreaded long reboot to see which fixed the issue. Installing the SATA driver made the Starting Windows work faster, but I noticed I was having all kinds of issues with the Western Digital HDD formatting and I still was not impressed with the boot time. Following the next suggested solution to start with only the SSD. THEN!!!! The POST, Bios screen, Starting Windows and login were incredibly fast!!! I was logged in less than 10 seconds. Now this has been my expectation all along.
3. I tested moving the HDD to other SATA ports, but the problem returned. I will try another cable, but these were the ones provided by MSI that came with the motherboard. I will need to purchase one as I used all 4 that came with it.
At this point, the HDD is out of the computer. I plan to search the WD forums to see if anyone else has had this experience.
Thanks you for those that committed on my post. As a result, I have my system now booting with UEFI instead of legacy mode. That in and of itself was worth the effort.
Once I find out more about the HDD issue, I will update the forum. Hope this helps someone else.
Thanks,

MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD won't work

Hello, I've just purchased the parts to construct an entirely new computer, and I've chosen MSI Z77A-G41 motherboard. I put everything together, and I loaded Win XP on, and my plan is to upgrade to Win 8 during their special offer. I needed to go into Setup and change the SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, so that I could install XP. Once I had XP up and running, I inserted the MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD to load all of the drivers. However, when I put the disc in, it auto-runs, the driver/utility screen is shown 'blacked out' and I immediately receive a Windows error message: "DVD Setup Application" error. I went in through Windows Explorer to the programs on the DVD, and found DVD setup. By trying to run this from within Explorer, it takes me to the same error as when I auto-run.
The only thing I can think of is that I need to change something else in Setup, to run Win XP because it's so old? I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with the new DVD burner, because I've used it to install XP, and also to extract and install Service Pack 2 and 3 (which I downloaded on another computer and transferred on a CD). If I knew exactly what needed to be installed from the MSI DVD, I could try doing it from within Windows Explorer. But, I'd still like to figure out what the Setup Application error message is telling me.
Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

A further note before I head off to bed. I was able to install Win XP service packs 2 and 3 using my new burner, and I've activated with Microsoft and downloaded and installed 117 updates. I have now used this same DVD burner that won't recognize or work with the MSI driver/utilities DVD, to install all of the drivers for my video card---that DVD auto-ran just fine. So, after doing some searches on Google about the "DVD Setup Application" error, not a lot of help but most people say that if another DVD will spin up and load things OK---it must be the fault of the DVD that won't load. In other words, I don't think that there's a problem with anything in the Setup on the motherboard.
So, if anyone has any further ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to contact MSI tomorrow and see about a replacement DVD. Thanks.

FX5600 Drivers Install Problem

I finally got the FX5600 128 working after tossing out the old MSI MOBO, which only had a AGP4x, and replacing it with a GA-7N400L running a high end Athlon and 1G of dual channel RAM. After all, it is Christmas - Using WinXP/ SP1
Anyway, here's the problem:
Drivers install fine. PC does a restart, all is well. The FX5600 does what it is supposed to.
But when I do a COLD START, the installed MSI/nVidea drivers disappear and I'm back to the defaul Windoze VGA drivers.
Essentially, if I switch the PC off and then cold start I need to re-install the FX5600 driver software.
Any ideas for a fix out there?
TIA

Msi drivers

this may help alot of you who install msi drivers for msi graphics cards..
once you have installed these drivers you get extra tabs which allow you use DOT if your card is 5200 upwards also it allows you to change the 2D AND 3D MHZ of the card ..HOWEVER if you try to uninstall these drivers you will still have the 2 msi tabs and the only way to completly eradicate these tabs is to wipe your drive and re-install your os and install NVIDIA DRIVERS.. the problem is that msi drivers leave behind a DLL which is damned elusive..now its obvious that someone out there in msi land knows about this issue and has removed the dll safley(not the 2 tabs in question do any harm) and really should divulge the way to do it to us in general

In fact, I've gotten so good at removing all traces of MSI drivers from my system, that now I can't remember how to get the MSI D.O.T. tabs to stick around after I've removed the MSI drivers! (yes, I've read that string...) I'm sure I'll figure it out...no worries.
Have you tried uninstalling the drivers and running driver cleaner 3 in safe mode?
or you can go into the windows services menu and "disable all non-MS services upon startup" that way nothing non-XP will be running in the background to disrupt your install/uninstall.
Ok that's about as good an explanation as it gets, it's really pretty simple
The most overlooked step in the procedure is often going to the Control Panel and removing the drivers from there via the "Add Remove Software" applet.

GF FX 5200 blink screen randomly with msi drivers

After fresh install of windows xp (no sp, sp1 and sp2), I have no problems with nvidia original drivers, but when I try to install msi drivers, sometimes the screen blink once and the screen doesn´t refresh the information, have to do it minimizing the active window. This problem only happen´s with 2D (normal usage) and when I click on video files, no problem with DOS programs, when running games (no problem with PSU) or videos.

Hi,
1) Use Add/remove to delete your current VGA Driver. (do not reboot at this time)
2) Delete the C:/nvidia folder
3) Reboot
4) Run Driver Cleaner (Download Driver Cleaner 3 from driverheaven.com to remove all traces of your nvidia driver - read instructions)
5) Delete msicpl.dll (you may need to Search your PC for this entry (This is the MSI tabs)
6) Empty Recycle Bin
7) Install latest nvida drivers from nvidia.com
Good Luck,

Removing MSI drivers.

How can I properly remove the MSI drivers properly?
I uninstalled them and then used Driver Cleaner but when I installed the nVidia drivers the two MSI tabs keep coming back in disply properties!?

Read the stickies up top or do a search in the VGA forum here.
Use keywords MSI Tabs

Windows XP hangs on 'spash' screen after video drivers installed on K8N Neo4-F

Hiya folks - got a MASSIVE post for everyone here... Sorry but I think it's necessary... Here goes:
I just upgraded everything in my computer except for the HDD. New case, power supply, etc. I started by copying all important data from my original HDD to a portable USB 2.0 drive. My data is safe, and intact on that drive. So... I formated and repartitioned the oroginal hard drive (1 partition), assembled the system and everything runs perfectly. The problems come later....
The Windows installation is insanely fast and smooth... and the system boots into Windows with no problems after installation is complete. I didn't even need to install the nVidia RAID drivers because windows detects my single SATA drive fine. The First thing I do upon seeing the desktop for the first time is: Install nVidia chipset drivers, then AMD Athlon 64 driver (both latest releases). I then restart and the system boots fine. After Windows starts, I'm asked for display drivers. I click 'cancel', as specified in my ATI installation guide, open up the ATI CD and install the drivers via the ATI autorun setup. At this point, there are no further drivers for me to install and NONE of them have an "!" near them. So I figure everything is A-Okay and restart... BAM!! - Windows hangs on the splash screen. The blue bar moves for about 10 minutes, then stops for 2, then moves for 2, and so on... This will go on FOREVER.
So... I boot into safe mode and uninstall the ATI software/drivers with the help of some other third-party programs, schedule a disk check with CHKDSK and reboot. I startup in Directory Services mode to allow the disk check to complete. No errors and the system restarts on its own (supposed to). Now the system boots in normal mode again, but no video drivers installed. So I download the latest drivers from the ATI website and install them. I restart, and WHAM! -- same problem. At this point I'm thinking "bad video card" so again I go into safe mode, remove drivers, schedule disk check, etc.... restart in Dir Serv mode... "one or more errors found" this time... but that's okay.
After the auto-restart I shut down the computer and unplugged EVERYTHING but the video card, HDD and one stick of RAM... then reset the CMOS, checked battery and PSU outputs (all fine) I then went back into the BIOS to ensure everything is set to 'as safe as possible' and restarted. Again I tried the latest drivers, and again the same problem after restart. So I then booted into safe mode, but left the drivers intactthis time. I scheduled another disk check and restarted again in Dir Serv mode. After system restart I shut the computer down and switched to my other RAM stick and booted... same problem. now I'm DEFINITELY thinking "bad video card" so I plug everything back in the way it's supposed to be, reset CMOS and restart with the Windows CD the drive. I again format the HDD, etc... and install Windows.
Now, with another fresh Windows install, having read multiple tech articles, I thought this could be an issue with the NV SW IDE drivers, so I installed the driver pack minus that driver. I restarted and the system boots fine. Next, I again tried installing the latest ATI drivers, restart, and SLAMMO! -- again the system hangs on the splash screen. So, rather than waste my time with disk checks, etc... I did ANOTHER clean OS install. This time I decided to try installing video drivers BEFORE the chipset drivers... no such luck. I restart and Windows hangs in the usual spot.
NOW, I'm REALLY getting upset and can hardly contain my fists of rage that crave to desimate the computer case and all its internal componets. Time to RMA the video card. I exchange the card for the same type, thinking this will solve my problem, I drive happily home with the new card. Wouldn't you guess it... SAME PROBLEM, on ANOTHER clean OS install!!! Now I'm thinking "bad mobo"? - I don't know because it boots fine and runs fast without video drivers, but it seems to be directly linked to the video card. So... I figure "okay maybe these nForce boards don't like ATI cards"... so I return the Radeon X700 and exchange for a BFG GeForce 6600GT. Yep, you guessed it, STILL the SAME problem!!!
I 'm pretty-sure the problem has got to be with the mobo but I can't be too sure. It doesn't seem too likely because the system boots and runs fine with basic Windows VGA drivers. Also, if I were to try and boot to VGA mode after encountering this problem, that would not work at all either, in any situation, other than after removing the ATI drivers or installing windows without them initially. Right NOW, as we speak, I tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers/software via safe mode, I ran disk check, etc... but the system will no longer boot in normal mode or VGA mode even without the nvidia drivers installed. I've formated the hard drive and am ready to reinstall again if I can find a solution to this problem.
If ANYONE can help me it would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED! I'm not a dummy when it comes to computers but this is pure MADNESS!!! I couldn't even BEGIN to fit everything else I tried into this forum. I had to sum-it-up, but I will gladly answer any questions from you 'brains' out there and will monitor this site daily. I won't ask the question and disappear never to tell of the solution I may or may not find...
Thanks in advance,
Eilios

Hi,
If you only have one Serial ATA Hard Disk, then you don't need the nVidia RAID Driver. This driver is only needed when you set up a Serial ATA RAID Array or a Parallel ATA RAID array. For this you must have two identical hard drives in your PC, for RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays.
nVidia SATA RAID drivers supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD. When you install at least two Hard Drives, prepare your mainboard to use SATA RAID and
set up the RAID Array style you want to use.
Then you will need to install the nVidia RAID driver, to allow Windows to "See" and use the drives correctly. This is done by pressing the F6 Key, inserting the nVidia RAID Driver disk , and "telling Windows" where to find the driver it needs, at the very beginig of the Windows XP setup process.
However if you install a RAID driver with just one SATA Hard drive, or two SATA hard drives, (this last scenario not set to be used in an array, but as two different use drives, lets say one for OS and one for MP3 Storage), then Windows begins to load, it will load the RAID driver, but since there's no RAID Array, Windows will keep "looking" for an inexistant RAID Array, and if there's no such RAID array, this will take forever.
That's why installing nVidia RAID Driver may hang your system (which as you saw is not really hung), at the Windows Splash Screen, it is just trying to find something that doesn't exitst.
NOTE: nVidia RAID Controller, supports RAID Arrays into both, the Serial ATA channels and the Parallel ATA (IDE) channels too. But for both options, you always need to have at least two identical hard drives installed to build up and use a RAID Array, which can only be seen by the nVidia RAID Driver, for both Serial ATA hard drives and Parallel ATA (IDE) hard drives.
NOTE: JBOD stands for Just a Bunch Of Disks = In this scenario, you can combine hard drives of different brands and/or capacities into one big drive that will be seen by Windows as one drive only.
NOTE: Even if you don't have any RAID array, you must install the nVidia nForce 4 Drivers. You can just leave the nVIDIA SATA Driver check box empty.
Hope this helps
I did not have any RAID or SATA drive in my system, actually these were disabled in BIOS. I had the similar experience though. BTW, why NF4 chiset driver is very important to install if Windows XP drivers can get the job done? Look at my link in the previous post.

Tried to update iPod, failed, no new drivers installed. Now iPod does not show in my computer or in iTunes.

Anyone know how I can update/unbrick this iPod? It's useless. It's stuck on the screen that says connect to iTunes. iTunes doesn't know it's there. My computer doesn't know it's there. It's not the USB port.
Please don't direct me here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - already tried, no results.
Last time it was a missing driver for iTunes but iTunes says nothing new is needed. Help appreciated.

Let me try this again. My computer said my iPod needed an update. I clicked ok. iTunes said it was doing the update. I browsed the internet. I came back to it after it was done, and it said update failed, no new drivers installed. Now my iPod touch is a brick. I cannot use it for anything. You know that screen that shows the usb cable, a white arrow, and iTunes? It's stuck there. No amount of pushing the sleep/wake button and home button will convince it to go to any other screen. When I go to 'My Computer', it does not recognize that there is anything there. It is not the USB port. Everything was fine until the update tried and failed.
I am not installing iTunes (piece of crap software that it is) on the other computer in my apartment.
I have exhausted the articles that sort of go with the problems I am having. They all assume a non brick iPod. Mine is a brick and therefore those articles, including the one you linked, are not relevant.
Not meaning to be rude, but I came into this not caring much for Apple's business model. I've had my iPod for .. a week? Maybe two, and nothing I've seen has convinced me to feel otherwise. Apple's products are supposed to just work. I am not finding that to be the case. Anyone with anything helpful please?

I'm not new to using SCCM, but i'm VERY new to setting up and managing it. I have just laid it down for the school district that I manage, and i'm loving it. Imaging is going great, all but one thing now...drivers installing.
Let me tell you what I've been doing, so hopefully a kind soul out there can tell me where my logic of the driver "injection" process is lacking and might can fill in some gaps.
I downloaded all drivers pertaining to the 7-8 series of computers we have in our environment currently, and imported them based on a criteria such as this:
x86.LenovoEdge71.Desktop
x86.DellOpti755.Desktop
so forth and so on
I created packages based on the same exact naming scheme. I update my distribution point at the end of the import, and all the drivers/packages/categories are in place. When I go to Monitoring/Distribution Status/Content Status, all of my packages
show up , but under targeted it says 0.
My thoughts from reading online, is I upload all these drivers and during my task sequence where it says it's "applying device drivers" it's set to "install only the best matched compatible drivers" and "consider drivers from all
categories". I also checked "do unattended installation of unsigned drivers no versions of Windows where this is allowed".
so correct me if my thinking is incorrect, it should search through all series of the computers we have in our environment and grab the best drivers from the overall database. Is this not right?
The reason I ask this, is we have a few hundred HP 6000 Pro desktops. WHen I image them, it comes up with 2 unknown devices. OF these, I can manually point them at the folder from which I uploaded the drivers for this series/category and it installs
100% successfully...MANUALLY. What's the reasoning behind this?
I can't help but think there's something missing in my process / logic and I need to be set straight.
Can someone out there tell me what i'm doing wrong? We're planning a district-wide re-imaging before summer's over, and the clock's ticking...but the drivers being installed are all that's keeping us from starting our migrations.
Any help on this is GREATLY appreciated, thank you very much!

You have setup everything correct, but for your desired result you need to use "Apply Driver Package" Task rather than "Auto Apply Drivers".
Auto Apply drivers will install the best matched/compatible drivers for only the PNP devices.For more info on this:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680990.aspx
Whereas "Apply Driver Package" would install all drivers you have in the package and hence you don't see the unknown drivers in device manager. For more info on this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680403.aspx
If you have multiple models, create this task for each model individually and then associate with a WMI query condition under Options tab to check the manufacturer/model
Example: Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Manufacturer = "HP" and Model Like "6000%"

Possible to Have Multiple Graphics Card Drivers Installed?

Is it possible to have both the nVidia propritary, nVidia legacy, and ATI open-source drivers installed all at the same time, because I have set up a portable Arch Linux system, and I want to have want to have 3D acceleration on all of them.
My computer has an Radeon X1300, and I'm using the open-source driver for it, and this one has a Riva TNT2 Model 64. I think the comps in the tech lab also have nVidia cards, but newer.

nvidia and nvidia-xxxx conflicts with eatch other, so no. As said, only the drivers that comes with X.org play along with eachother. Welcome to the beautiful world of closed software.
You can have them both as packages an install 'em/uninstall 'em as needed...
You could make a nice simple script to run at startup so you can choose which xorg.conf to use, you could easily have many and just symlink them to xorg.conf as needed... all you kneed to know is some bash scripting.
I'd try and use a DAEMON aproach by creating and rc.d script, but you could try as you like
