i installed Nvidia 64 bit drivers but i still run at 32 bit anyone now how to fix plz ??

Filip,
Set your Desktop to 16bit color. There is nothing on your desktop in 32 bit color. All it does is slow your comp down. Remember that when you play a game your comp is still rendering your desktop in the background, and 32bit color uses more CPU cycles then 16bit color.
Richard
P.S. The color setting of your desktop has nothing to do with the color settings of your game.

  • Msi S939 nf4 ultra sli pci-e live2 and windows SP2 ??? need help

    Ok so i just bought  Msi S939 nf4 ultra sli pci-e live2 and after i have installed the motherboard and everything went fine untill i installed Servise Pack 2. Does this motherboard even work with sp2? the problem is that when i boot my Pc it reboots before i can even get to windows, and giving an error that i can't read becose of that reboot, i have allso tryed to log in with safe mode but it does the same thing, what can i do? updating bios helps? i dont know what version i have, its the one that comes with the mb cd... PLEASE HELP ME !!!

    First steps:
    When opening a mobo from it box and before mounting it in your PC , clear cmos w/jumper (you never know whats stored on it in cmos from testing etc)
    Next boot directly to bios when having it powered and load optimized defaults ( this sets ACPI/MPS/DMA etc. in usable values)
    (some options are even not shown anymore , so make sure to load "Optimized Defaults" before continuing.
    Restart it a few times until update DMI pool is no longer dispalyed in post screen.
    Then proceed wit install of xp.
    Installing windows xp .
    To be "absolutely sure use F5 key when xp setup displays press F6 to load raid drivers .
    Then you can select the correct HAL for your system .
    With single core cpu select "ACPI Uniprocessor" and
    with dual core select "ACPI Multiprocessor" .
    This will ensure you have a xp installation and bios match for your system , and a troublefree win install.

  • MSI GeForce GTX 780 SLI question.

    Hi,
    I wonder if my MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming OC is compatible with the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning LE in SLI?
    Thanks!
    BR, Tobias

    as long as both cards are using the same GPU (GTX 780 GK110) and they both have the same amount of VRAM (EG: 3GB+3GB) then they will be able to be used in SLI as long as your PSU can power both of them!
    you can use SLI even with different manufacturers cards so long as its the same spec (GPU) as the other and the VRAM frame buffers match each other as both need the same amount!

  • Msi neo4 platinum + xfx 6600gt pci express card..

    This can be a stupid question 
    But i just builded a new system, with a msi neo4 platinum motherboard and a xfx 6600 GT pci express videocard.
    which runs great, but when i start my system i see the following line (form the bios)
    PCIe VGA LINK WIDTH   X  4
    And in my nvidia drivers i see this :
    Bus:   PCI Express X4
    Is this correct ?
    I thought it should say X16 or am i thinking the wrong way ?

    Quote from: syar2003 on 08-May-05, 20:56:12
    It should run with X16 lanes if the gfx-card is equipped with X16 interface .
    Anyway the difference between 4X and 16X isn't exactly whohaa in todays games/apps .
    http://www20.graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041122/pcie-analyse-09.html
    the videocard  is equipped with and x16 interface, and the motherboard must show X16..
    I asked a friend of mine, who has been playing with my machine yesterday en he says
    it did show X16 in the bios, when starting the machine...
    I did the following things :
    - Removed an replaced videocard, did not help.
    - Reset cmos, dit not help.
    - Checked bios for an option, dit not help.
    And also flashed the motherboard to version 1.2, dit also not work.
    Looks like the motherboard or the videocard is not working properly anymore...
    Anyone got an idea ?

  • PCI Express, K8N SLI Platinum.

    Hello everybody.
    Is there anybody out there who has tried this setup och similar.
    I'm about to get this MB K8N SLI Platinum with Dual PCI Express 16 slots.
    The first will be occupied by a standard ATI PC-express 16X Grafic card
    The Second will be occupied by the PCI Express 4X Promise Supertrak EX8350 8-Channel RAID.
    My Questions are these.
    1. Have anybody tried a similar setup.
    2. Will the Promisecard downclock to 1X while on the second PCI-X slot
    I will build a 2 TB Raid 5 on this controller but unsure if the MSI can do it.
    PCI-Express 16 should be backward(downward) compatible but i have read that some motherboards only use 1X when it's not a graphic board and this is a 4X card.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    AFAIK it's not possible. You can only use the second PCIExpress as x1(for other devices) or x8 (for GC)
    Right !?

    I'm not sure they have the lowest prices there though...
    (I just received one from them yesterday, so I know they did have them in stock, they're still labelled in stock)
    Before you do get one, check your PSU is going to do the job - There seems to be a comical PSU issue with the boards requiring a deprecated -5V line on the 24pin connector in order to power the onboard sound.

  • X-Fi Fatal1ty PCI/-Express - All Hardware Acceleration Crashing, Significant R

    Hello,
    I've made a few posts on the forums recently about various topics to help me isolate the issue I am having. At this point, using the latest stable drivers for either a PCI or PCI-E X-Fi Fatalty, any hardware acceleration of sounds is causing my system to bluescreen, freeze or crash the application. Some games give me no option of not using hardware acceleration (ie. Rainbow6 Vegas 2), resorting in my having to change my Sound Acceleration down to Emulation Only. This setting greatly eases off on the sound latency buffers, resulting in sounds that are delayed an entire second. The good news is no crashes and sounds actually sound correct.
    A few things to note about my setup,
    ) I am an extreme computer professional, programmer and developer. My Windows XP SP2 installation is incredibly streamlined; I only have 6 services running and all non-essential drivers removed, resulting in only 69MiB commit charge at startup across processes and ~950 threads. Suffice to say, my system is baby-cheek clean, and I aim to keep it that way.
    2) I have been using this setup for many years now. I have been using NVIDIA video cards for the past 5+ years, currently I have a GTX280, and all of them have behaved perfectly with my streamlined setup. I even unregister every single one of NVIDIA's DLLs and stop all of their services, and the 3D Settings Per Application and Color Control Features still all work. Suffice to say, NVIDIA's drivers, although a trite on the large side, are written well enough to keep drivers away from OS services (as it should be).
    3) My other hardware is not at fault. I have tested the X-Fis against multiple PSUs, different video cards, multiple fresh installations of Windows and more. I don't use utilities to clean my drivers; I do it by hand. I know exactly what's on my system and what I want removed. Though it may be egotistical to state, I'm pretty much knowledgable of every component my system has running.
    4) As a result of this knowledge and my desire to keep my system clean, I ONLY HAVE INSTALLED the drivers necessary for my X-Fis to work. I DID install Creative Audio Console, but the application seems to have too many dependencies on OS Services, since it never runs, either reporting that my audio device cannot be found, or the application simply does nothing and a bogus error is written to the event log. I have enabled DCOM to make sure it wasn't dependent on that, and it still does not work. To summarize, yes, I have tried enabling every service I could find that it might depend on, and none worked. Creative Audio Console is, to me, a piece of ill-written software. In comparison to NVIDIA's excellent control panel which works no matter how much stuff I remove, Creative's Audio Console fails.
    I do not have the Creative Audio Licensing Engine, I do not have the Creative Audio Control Panel, I do not have the Creative Labs Audio Engine Service, I do not have CMSS or any other OS-level services that normally get installed. Remember people, drivers are NOT TO BE DEPENDENT on OS services; they are protocols defining to the OS how to communicate with the hardware. Any necessity of additional "service" software is way past the acceptable standards of drivers.
    5) That being said, I had no issues with stability using older drivers on my PCI X-Fi Fatalty cards. These drivers were dated early 2007, and did not install all of the X-Fi Effects, Utility Effects, 20x Effects, etc. drivers. Mind you I preferred these drivers since they were much simpler to track, as they only had a few .sys files.
    As it stands, I want to use my PCI-Express X-Fi Fatalty, but I want to use it without all of Creative's bloat. I want streamlined, driver-only installation that does not NEED external applications to reinforce its stability. Creative, IS THAT POSSIBLE? Can someone, by definition of the Windows Driver Management signature system, just use your drivers alone for stable gaming? If not, you're violating standards and should never have received WDM cert. on any drivers. I highly recommend you do NOT spit back, saying that for proper functionality, performance, stability, etc. you must install all of Creative's supplemental software. These requires are in violation of the ethics behind software drivers and receiving Digital Signature Certification from Microsoft on your drivers.

    Infinity7,
    I do not want to sound arrogant, but the list of options you provided me with is the stereotypical laundry list of system configuration information for any piece of hardware. I'll address everything though.
    ) No, I'm not using an NVIDIA chipset. I'm using an ASuS Maximus Extreme, just like you said, which uses the X38 chipset.
    2) I'm using Windows XP 32-bit, SP2. I have 2 GiB of memory and do NOT have PAE enabled.
    2) I don't have onboard sound; our motherboard has a PCI-E sound card which I do not have installed.
    3) I don't have any spyware. I don't browse the web on my system. I know every program running and have no rootkits. Nothing is hiding from me.
    4) I don't use antivirus programs. I've been on the internet for 5+ years now and have never needed an antivirus program, since I know when I have a virus and I remove it manually.
    5) I have the latest version of DirectX, June 2008 Redistritutable. Note that most of the post DX 9.0c revisions are meant for D3D, and have nothing to do with DSound.
    6) I've tried every PCI-E slot I have, including both PCI-E x slots and both PCI-E x6 slots. The card is currently in one of my x6 slots.
    7) Any 998+ system is going to have IRQ sharing. Between ACPI BIOSes (more IRQs), Windows XP and drivers, IRQs are rarely in conflict, aside from occasional USB device IRQ sharing. To answer your question, yes, currently both my video card and sound card are sharing IRQ 6. I have done enough work to isolate that IRQ sharing is NOT the issue, though, especially through my testing of the PCI card and the PCI-E card experiencing the same issue.
    8) The output sampling rate of games is not always configurable, and never makes a difference. The X-Fi always upsamples everything it gets as it is, though I guess there is some validity to the sampling rates that are streamed into the buffers.
    Now, to address the rest of your suggestions I say read my post. I specify that changing acceleration to emulation results in perfect stability and sounds that sound correct, however the relaxed latency results in sounds? that are easily delayed by second. This is unacceptable for gaming, obviously.
    As for your ordering of driver installation, it really is through lack of knowledge that people state what order drivers must be installed in. Even NVIDIA's drivers probe for any change through the interfaces they use when the system starts, so any chipset drivers that drastically change the devices in Windows will be detected as changed by other drivers. Be that as it may, I didn't even have the X-Fi in my computer when I installed this latest version of Windows. Only after I had installed everything did I begin to install the Creative Drivers (whilst avoiding all bloatware).
    Most importantly, note that I determined when the crashing started occuring with my original PCI version of the card. After I installed the drivers that started including the additional .sys files (X-Fi Effects, 20X effects, etc.) the crashing occured. As far as I know I cannot use older drivers with the PCI-E model, so rolling back to those previous drivers is out of the question.
    Lastly, for my system specs,
    Motherboard : ASuS Maximus Extreme X38 Chipset, BIOS 0907
    CPU : Intel QX9650 (OCed from 3.0GHZ to 3.6GHZ, stable through Orthos testing)
    Memory : (2) GiB Corsair Dominator Sticks, 4-4-4-2
    Video : eVGA GeForce GTX280 FTW Edition (PCI-Express)
    PSU : Thermaltake Toughpower 200W (backed by UPS)
    Sound : Creative X-Fi Fatalty PCI / PCI-Express (tried both independently)

  • PCI to PCI express converters...

    Hi,
    Just wondering if there are converters for the G4 that you can plug into a free pci slot and give you a pci express interface... which will mean that you can then say install all those pci express cards that are out there into your mac... as long as they have mac drivers.
    thanks

    There are adapters that let you plug a PCI card into a PCI-Express slot. These are useful if you buy a PCI-Express computer and need to use a card from your old PCI computer (or need a function that is only available in a PCI card), and don't need to close the case (the adapter will make the card poke up).
    There is not much use for an adapter to use a PCI-Express card in a PCI slot. Any function of a PCI-Express card should be available in a PCI card, unless you need the extra speed of PCI-Express, and you wouldn't get that extra speed if you are going through a PCI bus.

  • MSI GeForce 6800 256MB PCI-E , NX6800-TD256E

    I have seen this card for sale and it costs about 100€ less than other cards from the 6800gt series.
    http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.asp?sku=305437&cks=PRL
    (swedish site)
    and ive seen this card on many other sites as well, and they say that this is the specifications:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produ...ail.php?UID=624
    so it is a 6800gt card? doesnt say "gt" on any of the sites...
    i need to know why its so cheap and if it really works with SLI.
    the modelname: NX6800-TD256E matches the modelname on the msi-site.
    I dont understand why it is like this...need to buy a graphicscard soon and I want it to work with my new motherboard with pci-e sli.
    can u guys help me out with this?

    I see no indication of it beeing a GT, looks like a GF 6800 (non ultra, non GT - plain 6800 with 12 pipelines).
    I believe the page they are linking to on the MSI website is simply the closest thing since MSI haven't posted the specs for that card yet.

  • [MSI-K8N-SLI-FI] Primary PCI-Express slot dead ?

    Hi,
      Early this year with 8800GT plugged in the primary PCI-Express slot would fail to output the video, so I had to revert to my old 6600GT and it worked fine till now that is. I had verified my 8800 GT on different system and it booted just fine.
      Now all of a sudden even 6600GT failed to output the video. So, I tried another slot (courtesy SLI) and the system works fine.
      Issue: PCI Express width is shown as x1 instead of x8/16 ?
      Is there a way to repair the first slot or force x8 on second slot.
    regards,
    Prashant
