MSI Geforce 3 WDM and bios problem plz help!!!

Hi
I have a MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Pro-VT and when i install any detenator driver above 23.11 then the capture card wont work! The driver for the capture device says it wont start so i am stuck with 23.11. I have tries later WDM drivers and detenator drivers but they all give the same problem! I have also tried to flash the bios but live update 2 says Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function which it is supposed to have. When i go directly to the bios page and try to update it then the update fails. The flash program seems to think that i have a different card or something but my system information says that i do. This it the information:
VGA Card Manufacturer MSI
VGA Card Model Name MS-8850
VGA Card BIOS Vendor NVIDIA
VGA Card BIOS Version 3.20.00.18.03
VGA Card Driver Version 2311
Can someone please help me cause it would be nice to have the latest drivers working for the card.
Thanks
Nixus

I downloaded the bios files from http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/ and then downloaded NVFLASH.EXE and booted in dos and flashed the card i had to force the flash though it had some conflict of data or something but i knew it was the right bios and i had made a backup of the current one plust the card has dual bios so i wasnt too worried and it all worked out fine.
Goodluck with gettin all your cards workin
Cheers

MSI GeForce 9800 gt after updating the driver can't see the whole desktop

I have a MSI GeForce 9800gt, and I've tried to update the driver. After update I can no longer see the whole desktop, I have to move the mouse to the edge of the screen to see the rest, it's like there is a zoom or something.
The driver that came with the CD works fine, but any other driver give's me the same problem. I've tried with v.191.07, v.178, v.258.96, v.306.81 and a few other. I've also reinstall the windows but with no better results (I'm using Windows XP Pro).
Please help. Thank you.

Thanks for the quick replay, so :

Did you try to set the correct resolution for your screen after updating?
Yes, I've tried different resolutions, the only resolution where I see the whole desktop is 800x600. I even try to change the refresh rate to something lower then 60Hertz(I've read on a forum that a refresh rate of 51 or 59 might solve the problem) but no luck.

I've tried this as well, I even try with a fresh install of windows, I've bought a new SSD for my system disk, so I have reinstall the windows.

MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Driver Updates for ME

Why can't the drivers be updated past 44.03 in Windows ME?
Multi-boot two operating systems
Abit KG7-Raid
AMD Athlon XP 1800+
512 MB DDR
MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro:
MSI 44.03 drivers with Windows ME
Nvidia 52.16 drivers with Windows XP Pro
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
Cambridge Sound Works FPS2000 Digital Surround Speakers
NEC 97F 19" Flat Screen Monitor
Linksys 10/100 Etherfast NIC
Maxtor 30 GB HD
IBM 10 GB HD
Yamaha CDRW
Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro
Microsoft Intellimouse Optical
US Robotix 56K modem (until NOV. 20, 2003 when cable broadband available )
I run all my games on WME so that I have more RAM available for the game (XP is memory hog) and because my flight control setup (CH Force FX {14 programmable buttons}, CH Pro Throttle {20 programmable buttons}, CH Pedals) is not recognized in WXP.
I received HALO as a birthday gift. It loaded fine. I ran it and it continually locked up at the main menu screen of the game. The Audio part of the game continued to advance, but the video got stuck. My wife loaded the game and tried to run it and got the same results, she has only WXP for an OS on an MSI K7T 266 Pro 2 RU motherboard. She upgraded her MSI Geforce3 Ti-200 TD Pro drivers from MSI 44.03 to NVIDIA 52.16 and HALO then ran flawlessly.
MSI has upgraded drivers 45.32 and Nvidia has upgraded drivers 45.23. Both of these drivers locked up my machine each and everytime I installed them. My machine runs the NVIDIA 56.12 drivers without any problem on Windows XP PRO. I had to uninstall the MSI 45.32 and/or NVIDIA 45.23 drivers and reload the MSI 44.03 drivers to get WME to boot up. HALO will not run on the 44.03 drivers. One of the techs from microsoft called me at home the last two nights in a row to try and resolve this issue. Conclusion at end of night one was updated video drivers needed to be installed. Conclusion at end of night two was that there was a hardware problem with the the conclusion that video card was not accepting drivers above 44.03 for the Windows Millenium Edition Operating System. There was no listing at either NVIDIA or MSI video driver site for any drivers beyond 44.03 other than NVIDIA 45.23 or MSI 45.32 respectively.
The burning question is this: As with some of the previous NVIDIA drivers are the new releases compatible with all of the operating systems? I ask this because looking in the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers folder that gets extracted I see references in the read me file to W98,W98SE,WME. Why does the MSI Geforce 3 Ti-200 card accept the NVIDIA 52.16 drivers with WXP PRO and not the NVIDIA 45.23 not the MSI 45.32 drivers with WME (and I assume W98 & W98SE?)
Interested in the response.
Thanks.

Judging from the problems I and several other people on the forum have mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the nVidia 45.23 drivers and video. I get a grey screen with vids unless i turn down the hardware accel to almost nothing. Other people can get vid to show on their tv out. So if you havn't tried an older driver version yet, maybe you could use the good old xp driver rollback in the video device properties.

Win XP and updating the bios

Wich is the correct procedure to update the bios of my mb (K8N diamond)?
I have read the MSI information, but using Win Xp is not possibile to start the update from a boot floppy of win98. it can read the NTFS file system.

It is truly a mystery where this procedure originated from that uses a RAM drive for flashing a BIOS, given that DOS-based flash executables from AMI and Award have always required a pure DOS environment with NO MEMORY MANAGERS or other non-essential memory resident programs (and both BIOS companies continue to recommend this). It seems to be a method advocated only here, for reasons I cannot explain, perhaps originating from someone's own personal preference.
Physical RAM is much more vulnerable to power fluctuations and uncorrectable errors than modern fixed hard disks. Only high-end servers running registered ECC modules can detect and track defective RAM right down to the individual RAM chip, marking it as unsafe for use to prevent access to the defective chip (ChipKill). Hard disks can do this internally right down to the sector or block and have for years. Of course, if the power is interrupted, neither is safe.
Using a RAM drive is more complexity with absolutely zero advantage or benefit, and possibly will interfere with the flash process. Flash utilities typically balk at the presence of memory managers and other non-approved memory resident code.
Excellent fact/points. Up until several years ago, I only flashed from a floppy or directly from the drive. I've had a couple flashes go bad using a floppy, and whenever possible I would do it from the HD. When I'm faced with an NTFS formatted drive, then I'm forced to flash via floppy, until I had a disk go bad at some point after I had copied the files to the disk and possibly during the flash. I then saw this method using the RAM Drive here, and I've seen it on other forums such as PC perspective (formerly AMDMB) and a couple others I cannot recall. I don't know where it originated from either. I have several drives laying around, and I may consider abandoning that method, or at least using a CD, but I am not sure of that method, I would think it safer than a floppy in any case. I've been using the RAM Drive method ever since when I don't have a FAT partition available and haven't had a problem, but that only means I haven't done it enough times to experience the failure you speak of. I guess it's only a matter of time.

N560GTX-Ti OC freeze during CoD4 MP after update VGA BIOS with Live Update

What's with updating VGA bios? Is this necessary if your hardware is fine?

How much improvement does it do really? Does it make the images look better? Does the fps improve fignificantly, if at all? Does it make the card cooler? Some treat it like a wonder cure. Is it?

VGA BIOS update is only issued to address a particular issue, you should only update it if absolutely necessary!!
Updating your VGA BIOS won't make your card faster, run cooler, or make images look better. But if it goes wrong, it will make your card dead!

When updating vga bios nothing happens

Hi,
i've got MX440-8X on Athlon XP 1800+
I'm trying to update the bios using Live update. This could be necessary for the drivers to run under linux. (also problems there )
While running the utility everything apears to go well except the screen does not go blank like stated.
Afterwards it ask to restart the system, and when I run Liveupdate again it looks like nothing has happened because it offers the same update over again.
Does anybody have any idea what goes wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanx!

Is the BIOS Rev. of the card the same as what live updates has to offer. I bet that it is. Anyway there should not be any reason to update the BIOS on your video card unless you want problems. live update Suck's allways has allways will.

K8MM-V 7142 updated vga bios

i have a couple of system using k8mm-v board which has VIA/S3 UnichromePro IGP, recently we have upgraded most monitor to 17"/19" Wide screeen LCD, here the problem come, the onboard vga bios does not support those wxga resolution like 1440x900 or 1650x1024, google around found this is related to vga bios issue, not driver. i have updated those system to ver 1A bios, vga bios seems remain the unchanged. is there any service/beta bios available to fix this problem? tq.

these are only low end sempron powered (tats the whole point for all-in-one board) office station which only do basic office documents/spreadsheets work & internet browsing, nothing more nothing less. pretty no point buying new display card for this. even a 5 years old 845g onboard display driving the wide screen lcd without any problem (their vga bios updated with driver though).

How to update VGA bios in MSI live update.

Hi,
I downloaded MSI live update and i saw that there is a new bios for my card and i downloaded it.
when i go to the folder with the DL-FILE i see that different things are downloaded included nvflash and the rom itself.
Now is my question, can i install the new bios though the MSIsetup in that folder or do i have to do it a different way? I just want to be sure because i don't want to do anything wrong and probably brick my card.
Thnx in advance.

I just flashed the new vbios via MSI live update yesterday, but I have GTX 970, not sure if the procedure is the same or not between different cards.
I just pressed the "download and install" arrow on the right side of vbios size, and live update only allowing me to choose vbios update at one time. After the download finished, it auto executed cmd under windows, and remind me to remove graphics card driver and continue (I did uninstall when I flashing my first card, but for the next one I just closed the nvidia experience), after press twice "Y" in the cmd, the flash began and then system just auto restarted. When my pc rebooted to windows again, I checked the vbios version, it appears the new one.
maybe i should film a video if i got chance

MSI Geforce 4 Ti4400 woes and complaint

Well I have to say that I will never buy another MSI product as long as I live and will not let any of my customers (I'm in the PC bus). I have my third replacement card that I waited for over a month to come back to me that has lasted less than 12 hours. Same old video garbage issues that I seen others have adn my first two cards had. Before you all go talking about P/S I have an Antec 430 true power. During the month that I waited for the replacement I called each week for an update and no one could give me an ETA just that they were backordered. Tell me how a manufacturer can not know the status of their own supply chain, the last time I called they used the Port strike as a excuse. WELL MSI I have had it with your product and your support!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are were thinking about buying a video card from these guys LEAVE THIS SITE NOW and look elsewhere to spend your money!!

I went to my local computer store which is Best Buy and got a PNY :D maybe its your Motherboard??grab someones card and try it in your board, then you will know for sure Maybe something in your OS also. Drivers not completly uninstalled ?I have seen some threads where people have said there could be bad batches of cards. Check the serial number,
are they very close in number say 00005 00006 00007?

N560GTX-Ti OC problem after update VGA BIOS with Live Update 5 | SPLIT

Hello there. You people say the latest BIOS version for 560 OC is 201, but mine is totally different: 70.24.0a.00.00.
And I experience strange stuttering in all of the games. Maybe BIOS upgrade is needed?
S/N: 602-V238-16SB1101160663

Could you please give me the password for the attached file (201ti_Svet.rar)? I'm having occassional freezes with my GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr OC (system completely stops responding while display and sound freeze and it takes around 5 seconds for the PC to respond to reset button). This happens, for example, under Windows 7 in 3DMark11 Deep Sea Demo and in Windows XP randomly, but most often in web browser when watching Adobe Flash content with hardware acceleration enabled? I sincerely hope that BIOS update will help. Thank you in advance.

Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
MSI Geforce 4 - 420
Celeron 1.7 gig
Soundblaster Live
2 Network Cards
and the usual stuff.
I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen. Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

My system sometime freezes. Why ???

MSI GeForce FX 5900XT BIOS ROM

Hey
I have moded my MSI GeForce FX 5900XT to a 5900Ultra bios. It's been running stable for 4 months now and graphic card performance has increased by 35% average. but now im getting heating problems and some display problems, Do any of u people have the origanal bios for it. i did make a back up before i flashed but now it aint working any moore. plz anyone

mm cant find BIOS for your card. wonder how its possible when you revent(flash) to your original BIOS your video card doens work..?! somethink happed with a card or BIOS is corrupted...? try to flash again with your modded BIOS to see is card is working.. use other VGA Card PCI not AGP! Both VGA must be installed on PC. in BIOS Boot from PCI card must be set. then you can Compare adapter firmware: nvflash [options] --compare with flashed and your backup.
if the comparior say its queal with no diferents flash again with moded bios to see card is not blowed up already. if comarior report diferents reflash vga again with your backup BIOS. other way to flash is with machine "programator" dont know in english word. machine that flash eproms. also you may call to msi support to downloading your original BIOS and try flashing again. i cant find BIOS for your card. good luck
