MSI Fx5900SP Installation question??

I currently am running a Geforce 3 with the latest driver 52.16. My new MSI card is still in route to my house but a couple simple install questions.
Should I assume that I can plug in the FX5900SP card with little hassle and XP pick up the new hardware and current 52.16 drivers or should I uninstall the current drivers and do a clean install with the card & MSI software bundle, Live3 update etc.
Are you guys using MSI software or just grabbing NVidia's latest driver updates. It seems that the MSI support site are still on 45.33 release.
Are there any of the MSI software bundles (besides the games) you guys recommend checking out? Currently using Creative Playcenter 3.0 and Nero 6.0 as far as media goes.
thanks...specs should show up in my sig.

All should be fine for your card. It's always recommended to do cleanly un-installation and fresh re-installation of the drivers be it the change of card or drivers.
Apart from the games... I've yet to try out on the softwares... .

MSI FX5900XT installation question

Hi!
Between two cards (MSI RX9800 vs. MSI FX5900XT) that were my candidates for replacing my FX5600 I chosen the nVidia one...
My question is:
Do I need any addtional driver removal tools for upgrading the card???
my current card is MSI FX5600-VTDR128 and I upgrade to MSI FX5900XT-TD128
Or do I just uninstall the old drivers, replace the card and install new drivers???
Please help cos my system is 100% clean and in top notch shape and I would like to keep it that way...

Removing the drivers from the add/remove programs panel is enough - unless you run into trouble don't go looking for any.
I had found out that the FX5900 would only install on my system if the AGP apature was set to 256MB (in the bios).
That is probably just a system specific issue, but keep that in mind in case of trouble.

MSI - FX5900SP-VTD128 - Need bios

Anyone got a MSI - FX5900SP-VTD128 with the original bios? I really need it...
Thanks

There are no up-to-date Performance BIOS Versions available for your mainboard. If Performance BIOS Versions ever existed, they were released in the early BIOS Development Phase for testing purposes. To be honest, I have not come across any Performance BIOS for your board yet and it is also highly questionable if such a BIOS would help you in any way (if it existed). Whatever problem there is (or not is) does not necessarely have much to do with the BIOS you use.
If you need help and advice on overclocking, please open your own topic in the OC Section of this forum, provide FULL system specifications (read the >>Posting Guide<< first) and post a list of your current Cell Menu settings for comparison.

Photoshop Elements 10 Installation Question

How can I tell if my software installed properly? The software came with three discs, and it only installed the first disc. I am new to Photoshop, and do not know if my software installed properly? Can anyone help?

Gautham K,
Thank you for your quick replies. I have checked,and my OS is indeed 64 bit. I have been using the 32 bit version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, since I installed it last evening. I have a few quick questions;
Will I loose any functionality if I stay with the 32 bit version versus un-installing and installing the 64 bit version from disc 2?
If I decide to un-install, and re-install from disc 2, will there be any software registration issues (as I have already registered the software)?
Thanks again for all of your help.
Jim

Installation Questions Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition

We are looking to install Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition and have the following installation questions:
When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?

When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
The typical installation scenario is to have 3 tiers - application (WAS), application (Documaker), and data. WAS tiers host web applications (Dashboard, Administrator, Interactive) as well as providing database connection pools and JMS queues for messaging - it is expected that the WAS environment is a clustered environment and that the applications are deployed to the cluster members, which can be physical or virtual. For the Documaker application server, these can be physical or virtual as well. It's recommended to install Documaker on single-purposes environments, however there's nothing to prevent you from doing otherwise. The Documaker applications are self-contained JVMs and can be tuned accordingly.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
The installation process (currently) writes the scripts according to responses provided during the installation process. The scripts can be reviewed/modified prior to execution.
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?
The official supported version of WAS is 7.0.0.27, however WAS 8.5 may be suitable (I believe there might be a fix pack requirement there - would recommend you submit a question to Oracle Support for verification).

MSI never answers questions

Our company have bought a lot of MSI boards over the years, but now we are going to start buying boards elsewhere.
MSI boards are usually good boards, but whenever there is a problem with a board, MSI never answer questions that we may have.
I understand that thousands of people are writing them emails everyday, but Asus, Gigatech, Epox etc. always answers our questions, even if it take a week or two or three.
As of this date we have never recieved 1 (not 1) reply from MSI ever, and that is not acceptable.
For instance - the last month we have tried to get an answer to why Adaptec RAID and MSI k7D Master do not work - but as always MSI do not answer.
My advice - do not go for MSI, but buy from Asus, Epox or someone else.

Yes, I understand your frustration. Personally, I've had an ok experience with MSI so far. As it stands, I've had one board go bad on me and I had it replaced from the supplier no problem. It took about a week.
However, I can see why you're fed up with MSI. They have been nothing but distant in relation to the many suggestions that have been repeated ad nauseum on this message board, for instance, such as was the case with the PCI speeds. It took many months for MSI to even try to fix that problem. With BIOS 2.6, I hear the problem has been slightly corrected but still needs a lot more in order to join the ranks of other more worthy boards.
I too am disappointed in MSI. With the millions of $ they possess, you would think that they would set a decent customer help line with a bunch of English-speaking people. Instead, we are met with people who do not even understand one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and therefore cannot even fix whatever problems or conflicts arise.
Abit, Asus and other board makers have proven that the PCI bug can easily be fixed. However, MSI engineers have done absolutely nothing in good faith until now. After being a witness to their amazingly blatant indifference to the message board members' complaints, I have no choice but to agree.
What is more, Asus does publish beta BIOSes while MSI does not. So if one major bug is the process of being corrected, anybody at Asus can enjoy the fixes right away, while we have to wait an eternity ro reap the benefits.
Even though my personal experience so far has been good, I have to admit that I have not experienced the frustration you have unfortunately encountered due to the fact that I haven't used any RAID or SCSI cards. I did not see how poor the scores were or which improvements were needed. In fact, I don't have a single card plugged into my motherboard right now.
However, with my next upgrade, that will most likely change and since I cannot seem to rely on such a big company as MSI to correct the problems for which they are responsible on their own products, I can't see this as being an encouraging sign for me to spend more of my hard-earned money on faulty products that I'm beta-testing, as well as non-existent customer support and late or non-existent patches/BIOS updates.
It is never too late for a company to change its image, but in reality, MSI screwed themselves over by deciding to ignore the public, which has been paying MSI employees during all this time. It is sad that the state of certain company ethics is poor.
The differences between each nForce board were minimal at best. I will therefore see no problems with switching products. I'll definitely return to MSI if and only if they ever change their ways. For now, I'm disappointed and will be shaking my head in disgust until the situation improves to my satisfaction, if that ever occurs.
Harsh, yes. But also true.

OC'ing MSI fx5900sp VTD-256

I bought the MSI fx5900sp VTD-256 thinking that it was 400mhz core / 800mhz mem. After running 3DMark03, I find out that it was running @ 300/700. So I enabled coolbits and oc'd the card. The highest I got (performance 3D) was 423/814. Anyone else have this card? Is this the highest that this card is capable of?

I don't use the MSI drivers and I just use the coolbit's registry hack.
I let the driver interface Auto Detect the clock settings first, then run a benchmark and watch for anomolies in image quality. I will then tweak down the settings until I find stability. I often run a game for a while to see REAL WORLD perfomance, and adjust accordingly. Personally I don't overclock since with the last few cards I've owned I see no reason to yet, I just do it initially to see what the cards potential is. I do not remember my last settings for previous cards as I know that every GPU, RAM setup will deliver varied results from one card to the next even theough they are identical, also keep in mind the configurations available with all the hardware available.

X79-gd45 (8d) - Windows 7 Pro x64 installation questions

Hi,
I have a MSI X79-GD45(8D) board with i7-3930k processor that I am trying to install Win 7 x64 Pro on. I have a Sandisk Xtreme 240 SSD that I will be using as a system disk and 2X WD 1TB Black SATA 6GB/s (faex) drives that I will be using in a RAID 1 configuration for storing quickbooks and other data. This machine will run a quickbooks enterprise server serving 10 people
I want to get the installation right from the get go so that I can start testing it asap. Here are the steps that I will be taking to get this going. Could you folks comment on it so that I can modify it as needed. Thanks.
I have already installed the main board, 32GB RAM, Processor, fans etc and have setup the case. It does post without issues so far. Now for the installation, I have not partitioned the SSD (intend to make use of the full 240 GB) and leave the WD disks in a Raid 1 taking up the whole disk space (no partitions).
I am installing Win 7 x64 Pro on the SSD. Here I have several questions:
1. Do I set the SATA mode to RAID or should I just leave it at AHCI? I am assuming that this board recognizes drives in AHCI mode and installs Win 7. I ask this question because I will be using two WD SATA drives in Raid 1 for storing data later. Will the SATA mode be AHCI irrespective of that fact or should I change it to RAID after installing Win 7?
2. Should I install Intel RSTe iaAHCI or iaStorA (ver RSTe_Win7_8_64bit_3.5.0.1101_F6) with the F6 option for the setup I mentioned. I know the F6 installation in Win XP, but a little confused with Win 7. I ask this because, I have read some discussions of Intel drivers vs Microsoft's version for AHCI. Raid is confusing though. Please explain in detail if you can. Appreciated.
3 If I do F6 installation, do I install the AHCI/RAID drivers again after Win 7 is installed or does Windows properly load the F6 installation?
SSD, AHCI are all new to me with this build. I have tried to educate myself, but have some of the confusions that I listed above. Please explain how I can properly install it to the spec that I outlined above.
Your time, patience and help are all appreciated. Thanks

1.) IF you are going to be using the mainboads raid controller for the data drive. You need to set the mode to raid for the os install as well. Unless you are going to use the extra chipset for the SSD. (Ports 7 &8) You won't be able to enable raid later w/o re-installing the os.
2.) I put the os(Install) on a usb flash drive, I also include all of the drivers on this flash drive and load the newest versions even if it detects the drive right out of the gate.
3.)Once inside the OS, you would install the irst drivers there as well. (They are combined the raid bios / drivers and os drivers)
If this isn't going to be a very high I/o server, I probably wouln't bother with the SSD but since you have it you would just use it as a non-member drive of the raid. Have a fast drive for the os, isn't going to help the server all that much as most of the I/O will be on the data drive.
If this is going to be a heavily used server(high i/o) you may want to look at a raid 5 configuration for the os and data drives. As SSD's degrade over time and aren't really optimal for contant use like in a server. Raid 5 requires 3 drives minimum and is striping and mirroring so you get the best of both worlds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels
However, the board based raid controller isn't really the best for this set up. I am fairly loyal to Adaptec Raid controllers although you need to contact Adaptec (or whoever) in regards to compatiblity as MSI doesn't test server compoents on thier desktop products.
This is the one I last used:

Although it is probably overkill in your situation.
Also, look into the SAS drives as opposed to the sata drives. (if you use a raid card)

Crystal XI Runtime Installer Question

Post Author: kgmiller
CA Forum: .NET
Question:
Has anyone just created a VS2005 Setup Project that only includes the Crystal XI R2 2005 Merge Module and nothing else and had it install the Crystal Runtime? Are there any issues I am not aware of with this approach? Any information, experiences, suggestions would be appreciated.
Background:
I have a situation where I will need to install the Crystal XI R2 runtime on many PCs that will be accessing a centrally managed Windows application. The application software and Crystal Report files are only installed on the server and the PCs access them via a shortcut to the server. The runtime needs to be on the PCs as well as the server. I would like to avoid using the Windows Installer .msi file that comes with the product, for installing the runtime on the PCs, as it requires that the CD Key be entered during the install. I would rather use the Merge Module where I can embed the CD Key creating a VS2005 Setup Project process.

Hello,
please also see this link as we have documentation how the different deployment techniques actually work:

(GT683) Windows installation question!

Hello fellow MSI-owners. I just bought myself an MSI GT683 today, and I have two questions.
1. It came with Windows 7 pre-installed. But how do I do if I want to do a new/clean installation of windows?
2. If I want to make a full, new and totally clean windows installation. Is it ok to buy Vista or Windows 7 and simply install it. Or will I encounter any problems with partitions and stuff?

Quote
I am just reading in another thread that people are having problems with Windows finding the hardware after a clean installation of the GT683.
What is that about?
That is most probably just people who don't know what they're doing.
Windows 7 is pretty modern, and probably already includes most required drivers. After install is complete, just check Device Manager and see which devices need drivers, which can be downloaded from here:
http://eu.msi.com/product/nb/GT683.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064
Note that any devices such as bluetooth, Wi-Fi and webcam will need to be turned on before Windows will detect them.

Adobe AIR installation questions

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of distributing an application with Adobe AIR and I've a few questions about the Adobe AIR installation process. Just to give you some background on the situation I'm in - if a user wants to use the service I'm working on, they need to install a binary application on their computer. We've a web site which communicates with this binary application. As the user as to install the binary application to begin with, we're beginning to look at AIR as a possible alternative to distributing the web content through a browser.
1. Adobe AIR installation requests that the user enters their computer password. Is there any way to retrieve this password from a separate installer? The binary application that we ask our users to install asks the user for their password and it would be nice to not ask the user to enter their password twice. Are there any possibilities for sharing this password between our binary application and the Adobe AIR installer?
2. If I sign up as a re-distributer of AIR, is the Adobe EULA which is displayed at the start of installation still necessary? I'm already displaying one EULA (with the binary application) and I'd prefer not to have to display two.
3. I'm assuming that there is no way to specify the directory into which I'd like the Adobe AIR runtime to be placed - can you confirm that Adobe AIR is always installed in the /Applications folder on mac and c:/Program Files on Windows?
This question goes out to Adobe AIR developers - If you have distributed your application with Adobe AIR, have you ever stumbled across the situation where a user has uninstalled the Adobe AIR runtime (either intentionally or unintentionally) and you are now left in a situation where a user cannot access your services because Adobe AIR is not installed on their computer. If so, are you aware of any usable fallbacks other than to tell customers that they have to have Adobe AIR installed to run the application?
Thanks
Sean

1: We are working on a method to use a local socket to communicate with an installed c# application on the users machine. The situation is very similar, however we store credentials encrypted and accessible to the installed binary. If those credentials do not exist the AIR app requests the user to input them and they are sent to the binary. These credentials are stored either per session, daily or forever per the user's preferences. We use this method to let AIR be the front end it was designed to be and leave all the heavy lifting OS / processor wise to the binary. Unsure if this would help but you can read a bit more on using local sockets here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7caf. html
2: The EULA is still required as the End User has to accept it. If there's a way around that, I'm not aware.
3: The installation directory can be changed by the user unless you are performing silent installs (available when you sign a redistribution agreement). I don't recommend relying on the installation directory never changing.
Try using nativePath to determine where your program location is: (javascript)
//application directory
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
//application storage directory
var file = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
4: I've faced the problem where the AIR runtime is not available, but we always fall back on the badge there. For what it's worth it's pretty handy at detecting requirements and getting them to the user.
hope that helps

Flash 10.3.183.10 msi - multiple installation failures

I started out with version 10.3.183.7 installed, according to the Adobe Flash version site, despite the fact I've attempted to install 10.3.183.10 several times.
When I attempt the install using "install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi," I receive only a "Repair" or "Remove" option, suggesting to me that the installer thinks it's already installed.
I chose "Repair" and got a successful installation message:
However, even after rebooting, the old 7 version remains. I've tried the install with all browsers closed and with them open.
Any suggestions are most appreciated.

Make sure you have the correct MSI downloaded. To double check, download the following ZIP file...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.10_archive .zip
If this still doesn't work, I would suggest uninstalling and then reinstalling. You can find the uninstaller here...

New Tiger 10.4.6 installation Questions

Just installed a new retail version of Tiger 10.4.6 today. I bought it from Apple. It's up and running and I'm using it now, but I have some questions and things I'm not sure about. When I bought the DVD the Apple rep told me it was not compatible with classic the way my old version of OS 10.1 was. He said the only way I could use OS 9 with it was to reboot to it ( I've already tried that and it works).
Today I installed Tiger using the custom option as I did not want to erase the harddrive. It would appear that Tiger, during the installation, went through what was on the harddrive, picked what would run on Tiger, and left the rest in OS 9.2.2. Yet, when you click on System Preferences there it is: "Classic". Now I wonder if I can use it?
It did not load any microsoft applications at all. I did find a folder named "previous system" on the harddrive which I assume is the archived 10.1 : It's a 750.4MB file.
I have not yet udated to 10.4.11 and I wonder if I need to?

When I bought the DVD the Apple rep told me it was not compatible with classic the way my old version of OS 10.1 was. He said the only way I could use OS 9 with it was to reboot to it ( I've already tried that and it works).
That applies to Mac OS X 10.5, not 10.4.
Yet, when you click on System Preferences there it is: "Classic". Now I wonder if I can use it?
You can. Some components may need to be updated.
I have not yet udated to 10.4.11 and I wonder if I need to?
If the new update contains features or fixes useful to you, you should install it.
