Msi k7n2delta and soundblaster audigy2

I am having this problem with my k7n2delta and my sound blaster audigy 2. I had a previous problem, but i figured out it was my ram so i just got that replaced. Now i figured out that my audigy 2 is causing my computer to run at 100% cpu usage when i press ctrl+alt+del. I knew the card/drivers was the problem because when i was installing the drivers i kept the cpu usage status window open. So during the installation i saw the usage skyrocket from 0-2% to 98-100%. I knew that was bad for my cpu so i just uninstalled those drivers and ripped the card out, so i'm using the onboard nforce audio drivers. The onboard drivers are good but i wanna use my logitech z-560 to its max, i'm only using a 2.1 system instead of a 4.1 because of the 3 ports the onboard gives me when i should have about 6 like the audigy 2 gives me. Anyone else having this problem?

I tried uninstalling the nforce audio drivers and putting the audigy in the 3rd pci slot. It was the same problem. I installed the packaged drivers because all the other drivers i dled from the http://www.soundblaster.com website wouldn't work. They were updates so i had to install the packaged ones first. But it would run so slow because of the cpu usage that i couldn't continue.

URGENT HELP: Notebook SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS -- some features not work on window vi

Hello?I've SoundBlaster audigy2 zs that work fine for karaoke, recording on window xp. I've another pc that have window vista. I download this soundcard dri've for window vista from creative.com .

Any help will greatly appreciateIf there is any better brain soundcard to meet what I need (karaoke recording), please let me know?Thanks in advanceTienNu2006

I have almost the same problem,
I'm going crazy on this, I have a long story of self built computers too...
Audigy 2 ZS "correctly" installed, but drivers details on "mixer", "midi" and all the codecs details are "installed but not working correctly".
I'm going to format and reinstall everything to see if it's due to previous drivers for an "onboard" sound card

Software for Soundblaster Audigy2

I bought myself a Soundblaster Audigy2 zs card for my laptop. I use it only for listening to my music. I don't do games and barely watch a movie in my computer.
On install I only installed the drivers since I'm happy with the software I'm using at the moment to play my music collection.
Now my question is: Do I need to install any of the software package that came with my card to take full adventage of my sound card features?
Like I said I only use it for playing my music, I don't have a surround system hooked up to my computer and really don't want to put more software on my HD than what's necessary.
Your opinion?

I do not know if these all can be found in XP installation but you can also use
- 'Sounds and Multimedia' setting panels (Start-Settings-ControlPanel)
and
- 'Creative Control Panel' (ProgramFiles_Creative_AudigyXX_Program_WDM_COMMON )
as substitute for Creative 'Surround Mixer' + some it's addons.
<i>If you can't find CTPanel.exe from your installation directory or from original
installation CD, then you need to download a driver update (for example
SBA2_PCWDRV_LB__84_55) to get the CTPanel.exe -file. Copy it into Creative installation
directory and make/send a shortcut to DeskTop.</i>

I Have An Msi K7n2delta-l

I HAVE AN MSI K7N2DELTA-L AND I LOST THE DISKETTE WITH THE SERIAL ATA DRIVERS (PROMISE 376/378 DRIVER) WHERE CAN I FIND THE DRIVERS FOR DOWNLOAD??? THANKS!!!

the L does not have the promise chip,you need the ILSR
to get sata raid

HT2305 I downloaded, and have two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens?

I downloaded 2 updates (download only), and there's two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens? How am I meant to do install these updates?

Sorry I forgot to mention I was doing this on a PC with Vista (the heading was Windows so I didn't bother to mention this). Anyway by trial and error I found that you can click on the .msi files to install them. The files were downlads of updates to iTunes and iCloud Control Panel.

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.

Cannot open msi clock and msi info

hi i am having some small problems with my
mx440-td8x.. when i open the properties for the card i cant open the options msi information and the msi clock. it says: error when the file f:´WINNITsystem32desk.cpl for the controlpanel was opening. what shal i do to fix it?

Guys,
You could go get the latest nVidia Detonator4 Drivers from the nVidia Website. Then you can delete the file msicpl.dll from your Windows directory.
For the extra features:
Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
Quote
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
"Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
"NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
Double Click on it and it will make an entry into your registry.
That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
Take Care,
Richard

Actually MSI does do some testing

MSI 6330 and AMD Duron 850mhz.

Hello!
I bought a msi 6330 and a AMD Duron 850mhz in May/01. Never had any stability problems... I only made on overclock to 901mhz increasing the fsb and the computer worked fine to me until now. I have a good cooler and my sys temp. after running Quake 3 Arena is 40/45ºC max. Some days ago the computer stoped booting at first time, i had to turn it of on the power unit and turn it on again. In saturday it stoped working... *puff* I have a d-led error: 1-0-0-0 -> 'Early Chipset Initialization', I guess... I've cleared the cmos, just like before... And it still doesn't work! I've took out everything, cleaned up all dust from the computer.. but it back again, and nothing! Gawd.. What can it be? Can I still use the waranty? I know that passed one year until now... It's not the first time that i have problems with msi hardware.. I bought an kt266 based mobo that didn't worked... An GeForce 2 mx 400 64sdr graphics card... I guess i'm going to change my mobos and gfx suplier! :\
I don't know what to do.. Can anyone help me or give me an advice? Thanks.

As you are going to look inside, please give all possible PC specs includding P.Su. brand and how much AMPS. it gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v. Most possible is a very cheap P.Su. and this can lead you to big problems.

wyles,
Download and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Delete the file msicpl.dll from your Windows Directory and the problem will go away.
If you want to be able to have the hidden functions, create a file with notepad and put this in it.

Save it as agpsetting.reg to your desktop or anywhere you like. Then run it and it will give you all the hidden options from nVidia which include extra Resolution settings for your desktop and overclocking for both the memory and core.

[VIA] MSI-KT4AV and PC3200 RAM

Hi guys!
I've got an MSI-KT4AV mainboard, an Athlon XP 1800+, and a 512mb 400mhz Pc3200 module. This is the problem: I changed the DDR module from a 512mb 266mhz module to the 512mb 400mhz module; the mainboard has always worked fine with the first type of DDR module, but with the second one, the PC doesn't boot up. I try to change the memory but there is the problem yet. I try also the DDR Module 400mhz on another MSI Mainboard and that mobo function but not the MSI-KT4AV!!!!! I'm sure that this mobo support the DDR Module 400mhz but I don't know why the system doesn't boot up. Another important thing: when I press the power button to switch on the PC, the Display is totally black with no signal but I can clearly hear 3 beeps from the motherboard: BEEP BEEP BEEP silence BEEP BEEP BEEP silence BEEP BEEP BEEP and so on....
Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much for Your reply....

Did you try clearing your CMOS? Look in your mobo manual if you don't know how. That should fix it. :D.
If it still doesnt, put your old stck of memory back in, go into your bios, and look under Frequency and Voltage. Look for Memory voltage/vDimm. Adjust it to 2.7 or 2.8v. Save settings and exit. Wait for windows to boot and shutdown. Then try your new ram again. =D

No MSI info and MSI clock speed flags in display properties

My problem is really curious. Several days ago I bought new harddrive and made clear instalation of Win98 SE. After that I installed VIA 4 in 1, on-board audio drivers, the new DirectX and then DetonatorXP drivers for my G4 Ti 4600. My problem is that in display properties I miss two flags descrabing my nVidia card - MSI information and MSI clock. System has detected card correctly. In advanced display properties I can adjust OpenGL and Direct 3D settings, AA settings, etc.
My system is stable in every game and benchmarks, so it means that card works correctly. Powerstrip detects core and memory speeds correctly, under adapter options in this program I see 128 MB video memory, AGP 4x enabled, fastwrites enabled - everything is correct.
But in display properties I do not see MSI information and MSI clock speed flags. Why ??? I have also reinstalled VIA 4 in 1 and Detonator XP drivers - it did not help.
Before byuing my new harddrive (80 GB Seagate,7200rpm) I had 30 GB IBM,5400rpm. Windows 98 SE installed on this harddrive detects card correctly too including MSI information and MSI clock speed flags. Now I miss it. Any idea ???
On both harddrives I have installed DetonatorXP 29.42 then I have updated to 30.82
My system:
MSI K7T Turbo 6330 3.0
1,33 GHz Athlon T-bird
512 MBRAM
G4 Ti 4600
80 GB Seagate BarracudaIV 7200rpm
Win98 SE

I installed the MSI Drivers from the MSI cd. All ok but the clock and info tabs were missing. I upgraded the driver from msi site to 3000 and no tabs.
X(
Before the GF4 i had a gf2 and i realized i forgot to uninstall the nvidia drivers before installing the new card's drivers. I uninstalled them and reinstalled the msi driver 3000. But no clock nor info tabs.
Can someone help me? Are those tabs needed?
I'm using xp pro, intel p4 1.8 on motherboard intel d850md, 1gb ram.
Also the 3d turbo experience gives me msivga.ocx initialization error.
Thanxs.
