  • MEGA 180: Full Screen Media Center Deluxe III

    Hi,
    When I am running Media Center Deluxe III in full screen I still can see to the right and bottom of the window some of the background picture of my desktop  . This is very annoying when I am watching a DVD om my TV. I don't want to see a glimps of Ireland watching Star Trek . Does anyone has the same problem? Did you find a solution to make it really full screen?
    Regards,
    Rene

    There was one really appealing suggestion regarding the MSI Media Center III, but unfortunately it did not intend to fix the MMC itself.
    It was rather about making you to feel better about what's going on

  • Logitech USB30 Headphones and Logitech WebCam Pro 4000 vs MSI Mega 180 Deluxe

    Hi!
    I just found some problems related to the radio software/driver on my MSI Mega 180 Deluxe. I have installed all the latest software / drivers from MSI (including the bios) and i am using Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2 installed.
    The problem is that when i connect my Logitech USB30 headphones to this computer, and try starting the Radio application from MSI, i get an error mesasage saying there is no audio driver installed. And there is no sound at all. The USB headset is working 100% in all softwares like Windows Media Player and other sound applications (not related to MSI). I sent a support request to MSI, and they told me that this problem was related to my headphones. I did not accept that answere, because it does not make sense.. my headphones works perfect with any other computer and with any other software.
    Then i connected my Logitech WebCam Pro 4000 to this computer (incl. the drivers) and the very same thing happened..The radio application told me there is no sound driver availible and the Listen Music application crashed by it self. The control panel now shows that there is no driver installed.. but when disconnecting the WebCam and reboot, the driver is ok again.. and the same thing happens when connecting the WebCam again.
    Does anyone else got this problem, and did you solve it? How?

    I don't have MSI radio installed, never have.  However, does MSI Radio provide tuner capabilities?  The ability to get radio stations?  If so, then perhaps whatever is providing the tuner capability is maintaining an IRQ that conflicts with the USB Headset and WebCam?  
    That's just a hypothesis.  Typically, when you have a IRQ conflict, you won't lose the driver in your Device Manager.  However, since everything in the Megas are USB driven, then there's a possibility that you would.

  • New MSI Mega 180: Some problems...

    I've just bought a new MSI Mega 180... and I've come up with some problems:
    I can't get the radio to be detected in windows... not sure why. When I load, radio webupdate, it comes up with: Cannot find radio module.
    I can't get into the Wireless configuration monitor. If you select Gateway or AP mode, and then hit configure, it comes up with a pw prompt, and I can't find what to put in there... that's driving me nuts...
    When I'm running windows, the front panel is compleatly black, should it be showing anything?

    The clock should be on or if you installed PC Alert it would show the CPU temp. and stuff like that. I think media centre 3 shows something on the display (I can't get it installed)
    Can't answer your other questions.

  • MSI Mega 180 problems

    Hello all, i'm quite stuck on something and need some help.
    I have recently purchased an MSI Mega 180 deluxe and installed an pioneer a07 dvd writer in there, for some reason it won't let me burn cd's in audio cd format from wav files, which i need for my music studio.
    Also i constructed an external case to put an internet pioneer a03 dvd writer and did the same process and believe it or not i was able to burn a audio cd, so not sure what the problem is, could the msi mega 180 dislike my newer model of pioneer, or is the pioneer on it's way out, which i find strange as it's newer and quite new.
    I use nero to burn most of my cd's or dvd's which had no problem with when the dvd writer was on another desktop, it seems to get up to 26% and just freezes there, which the buffer level not moving at all.
    Hope someone can help, thanks

    Sounds like all of your drivers are not up to date....
    Here's what M$ has to say about it (shamelessly copied and pasted from another different website/board post).
    Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.
    Interpreting the Message
    This Stop message has four parameters:
    Memory referenced.
    IRQL at time of reference.
    Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
    Address that referenced memory.
    Resolving the Problem
    For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.
    Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
    For more information about Stop 0xD1 messages, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base link on the Web Resources page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources. Search using keywords winnt, 0x000000D1, and 0xD1.  
    Update Drivers
    Updated and comaptiable drivers are very important when running XP. Check your hardware with the HCL http://www.microsoft.com/hcl  If you hardware is not on the list it does not mean it won't work it just means it hasn't been tested by Microsoft and they won't Guarantee it to be compatible. If it not on the list check the manufacturer's website fo an up to date XP driver, if they don't have one you may be out of luck. This goes for motherboards and the bios too.

  • MOVED: Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

    AFAIK, you shouldn't need a pinmod for a Mobile Athlon XP CPU to work in a nforce2 mobo
    did you have any other CPU installed prior to this one? if so, refer here to clear the CMOS: Clear CMOS Guide
    next, refer to your manual, or download from MSI, for location of the FSB jumpers; ensure J8 is shorted across pins 1-2, and J7 is shorted
    finally, enter your BIOS setup menu, and under Advanced Chipset Features, set CPU FSB to 133mhz (or even 166mhz if you have DDR333 memory). the only thing i can't see in the Mega 180 manual is where you set the multiplier...
    which is where the BIOS has limited overclocking features, and you might have a problem here
    i think i'll pass this over to the Overclockers forum, where someone may be able to give a better answer....

  • MSI Mega 180 USB 2.0 Problems?!?

    I have the MSI Mega 180, I have enabled USB 1.1+2.0 in the bios and also have installed Windows XP SP1. In device manager, I see 'enhanced PCI to USB host'.
    With all that being said my External HD refuses to be recognized as a Hi Speed Device. On another machine, the same external HD works with no problems at 2.0 speeds.
    Does anyone have any clues as to what I need to do to get USB 2.0 speeds? I get Hi-speed device plugged into non-hi speed hub?!?!
    any help would be schweet.

    I believe the "Enhanced" indicates the USB 2.0 because that's what I have on other boards with USB 2.0 as well.  Prior to XP SP1 and on Windows 2k SP3? my boards didn't have the "Enhanced" addition.  Also, as I don't think I mentioned, prior to playing with the bios I had problems with the USB->Serial adapter.  If I removed the USB-to-serial adapter, the system booted fine and I would replug it.  After playing with the bios, this is no longer a problem and I leave it connected.  The stall happened when I had the adapter in front or rear USB ports, so not a speed issue (hey, it's serial) but more a recognition issue I believe (my mouse is fine, and as mentioned above an external HDD was found fine...).  Try the bios settings I mentioned as well as checking each line of each subcategory and check that all is well.  Let us know if that solves it.

  • Poblem with software to msi mega 180

    hi, I have bought a Msi mega 180 with amd.
    i have installed the software. mega deluxe 3.
    Everything is working fine,but when i try to listen to music via, multimedia part, the program crash. when i press ctrl+alt+del i got the error program not respondinging.
    I have reinstalled the program 3 times but i still have this problem.

    Thanks for posting the link AtHoSsIcO. I still have the same problem, even with the new software. I have downloaded the lastest drivers
    Audio driver version 4.31 (WHQL)
    Audio utility version 4.31
    Ethernet driver 3.39 (WHQL) + TOT.nvu
    GART driver 3.43 (WHQL)
    MemCtl driver 3.38 (WHQL) + TOT.nvu
    SMBus driver 3.43
    WinXP IDE 2.5 driver version 4.12 (WHQL) + updated nvuide.exe and txtsetup.oem
    Installer version 4.31
    I have installed the latest version (45.3), but I still get the same thing, I click on music and 'loading' in green writing appears in the left hand top corner, then nothing loads and the program crashes and I have to press ctrl alt delete to get out of it. The green writing that appears is very similar to when I use special funtions on my logitech cordless keyboard, not sure if the 2 are related. Any idea what could be causing the crash?

  • MSI Mega 180 - Install of HomeTheatre software

    I've finally got the MSI Mega 180 kit up and working here.  However, when I go to install the Home Theatre it prompts me for a serial #.  I've went through the entire box for this serial #; and have yet to find it.  Any one know a way to get this serial #?  The kit kind'a sux without it.  

    Thanks for your help.
    Brent92663's suggestion about the memory got me thinking. I didn't have any other 100mhz memory (PC2100) so I kept my 133mhz (PC2700) memory in, but changed the settings in the BIOS so it operated at 100mhz, and it now works fine!
    (If anybody wants to know how todo this, let me know).
    Very strange....
    I have yet to try it with the normal settigns, but it is something todo tomorrow!
    Thanks a lot,

  • MSI MEGA 180 - Installing WinXP Pro

    I have been reading the various posts on the MSI MEGA 180 and it seems evehas had a lot of eperience with them!
    I have bought one, and have tried installing Windows XP Pro on it, and this is where it all goes wrong.
    I start the installatiuon process, go through the text-only bit, and get to the graphicy bit. Then, the process either just freezes, or comes up with the blue screen of death with a STOP error, usually IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    I have tried the MS Knowedgebase KB314063 which suggests changing the power settings, but have had no luck with that.
    Here is my spec:
    -MSI MEGA 180
    - W6796MS V3.3 121003 18.25.07
    -AMD Athlon XP 1800+
    - 1 x 512mb RAM PC2700
    Many thanks in advance,
    Nick.

  • MSI Mega 180 Suddenly died

    Hi!
    Last night I was using my MSI Mega 180 as normal, and shut it down after use, and got to bed.
    The next day, the machine refused to boot. When I pressed the power-on-button the pc the fan went round once then stopped and it didnt boot.
    The HIFI-mode and clock still works, but dosen't start the PC at all. I tried to connect a normal ATX power supply to the machine, and everything was working again (except hifi-mode of course)
    Can anybody explain this ? Is the quality of the PSU THAT bad ?
    I am VERY dissappointed. I guess i have no warranty, as I have reversed the CPU fans (and some other modifications, like removing the unused HDD-tray).
    Where can I get a replacement PSU ? Is it worth it, or should I stay with my "external" ATX 350W (And much cooler and less noise than the orginal MSI MEGA 180 PSU)
    The only downsides with the external PSU is :
    1. I have no Linux webserver no more (Took the PSU from there)
    2. No Hifi-mode or clock
    3. Dosen't look as good as the original.

    I think all mega 180 units comes with 2 years manufacturers guarantee...
    even if it's over 2 years, i have seen someone in this forum said that the psu from msi is only 35 quids?
    I think you should try resetting your bios  by jumper to see if that works

  • MSI MEGA 180 Media Centre Full Screen Button

    I have a MEGA 180 with Media Centre III and was wondering if there was a button on the remote that does full screen instead of having to start the item you wish then trying to navigate to the button and pressing ok?
    This is for the sections such as MP3 mode for the visulisations or Video Clip mode for full screen home movies.
    I have tried all of the buttons but none of them seem to work.
    Any help would be apprecitated
    Cheers.

    That makes the MCDIII run in full screen, but the video (etc) still runs in a window inside the MCDIII App. The only ways I found were to set the settings to auto maximise the display, or to press the button to the bottom right of the picture. Also I found there was no way of getting back to menu mode without using the keyboard (unless you were prepared to navigate the buttons without seeing them!!!).
    This made MCDIII totaly unsuitable as a remote controlled application, and hence I binned it. I now use MediaPortal which works well. Just need to find a better way of getting the DVD filters to work.

  • MSI 180 - Problems with Media center III

    Hey,
    I have a problem with the Media Center III. When I want to watch TV I have to make a automatic scan in both Cable and Antenna. It seems that nearly all of my channels are found under the Antenna scan (strange I have Cable).
    Well my problem is that eventhough I set the TV source to Antenna every time the Media center III software have been shut down I have to go into TV -> settings -> change the TV source from Antenna to Cable and back to Antenna to get the channels.
    Anyone had the same problem.
    Please help, how do I get the software to remember the settings......
    best regards

    Some of the Jet and MDAC files of your operating system may be corrupted. Use a MDAC repair tool from

  • MEGA 180 Remote/LCD API

    Hi,
    I've just built a new MEGA 180 system, and while I like the hardware, I'm less than enthusiastic about the software. Frankly, Media Centre III stinks!
    For one thing, I'd like to be able to use the MEGA 180 for MP3 playback without having to turn on the monitor (which is a projector in my case, that takes more than a minute to start up).
    The first step would be to program the remote and the LCD display so that you can use whatever MP3 player you want, in my case I would write a WinAmp / MediaMonkey plugin.
    For that I need some way to access these devices. I found some dlls and a WinIRX.ocr on the CD but I have no idea how to use them. Is there any API description I can use? Even a simple .h and .lib file for the dlls would suffice for me.
    If you've heard anything about such a description, please let me know. Or maybe the adress of somebody at MSI I could contact to get it?
    Thanks!
    Martin.

    I've been looking into the dll's as well; there are a few that looks promising. They can't be referenced from Visual Basic though  , so someone with more insight into C++ should have a go at them. PC Alert 4 also installs it's own dll's for writing sys- and cpu temp to the LCM, so there is plenty to choose from. Can't help out with any API descriptions though...
    We should keep in mind however that the 180 and 865 are new products for MSI, and not only are they occupied with fixing the numerous problems users have reported, but they will probably try to develop other applications that take advantage of the remote and LCM. From what we've seen so far that is obviosly something they should leave to other, more suited, developers!
    I too think that MSI would benefit from releasing a SDK, thus increasing the overall useability of the Mega, thus attracting more users. Leave it to the endusers to decide which mediaplayer/s we want to use.
    For the moment I'm putting my hope to a Girder-plugin for the remote, since that seems the most plausible solution right now.
