MSI MX460-VTP tv-out problems

I just buy one MSI MX460 with VIVO, but TV in/out only works with the supplied drivers (Detonators 27.20). Installing any other version only appears one cyan screen in the TV.
The same thing with video capture, installing WDM drivers 1.19 the video in don't works, only with the supplied drivers (WDM 1.11)
Please help me!
My system:
- MSI MX460-VTP 64MB DDR
- WinXP SP1
- AMD TBird 850
- Soyo K7VTA-B KT133
- Micron 512MB RAM
- SoundBlaster Live! 5.1

do you uninstall the drivers before installing the new ones?, if not try that as drivers can be picky at times

  • MSI mx460 vtp tv out problem

    Im pluging into my the with svideo (cable fine channel to video"
    Got the latest 30.00 driver.
    capture works OK
    tv out using nview gets the signal to my tv "the reason i can tell is my tv screen turns bleu as per winXP but the tracking is way off
    thats the only way how i can explane the lines
    i cant see any background or icon just bleu with line ...
    i need help please  

    Thanks for your reply.
    I got it to work after installing detonator version 28.32. The supplied driver which I think is version 28.90 didn't work. Very weird...   :(
    Anyway, since it's working now, I haven't tried switching the VGA port. The monitor is currently plugged into the inner VGA port (closer to the AGP port). I have no idea which one is VGA1 and VGA2...  ?(
    I just hope that nVidia will fix this issue with the upcoming detonators.

  • MSI G4MX460-VTP TV-Out Problem

    I just bought this card coz of the video in and out features. However when I tried to set the TV-out using Clone mode from nView, the TV only shows a light green screen. I have tried different drivers including the latest 40.41 detonator but still no luck. On some drivers the TV screen is grey with some artefacts all around the screen. The second monitor output works perfectly fine when I apply Clone mode. Another thing that makes me think this a driver problem is that when I used a program called TV-Tool, the TV out works but the primary monitor flickers.
    Anyone can help me? Here's the spec of my system:
    Celeron 566
    Abit BE6-II Motherboard
    256MB RAM
    SB Live
    Thanks in advance...
    Kind Regards,

  • MSI 5900U VTD256 tv out problem

    Where can I get the cables for the TV out from?
    Ive got the card but only recently went to use the TV out. THe people who supplied it to me never gave me the cables for it so I cant use it.
    Is there a dept at MSI where I can buy them as Im abit stuck without it.
    Its the breakout box I am looking for.
    The tvout on these cards isnt a standard SVHS connection.
    Its a 9 pin connector.
    Help..

  • Geforce 4 MX460-VTP vs ECS K7S5A

    Hi there - here are my current system specs.
    K7S5A rev1 MoBo with NEW BIOS update (as of today)
    Athlon XP 1700+ with Zalman Flower Cooler
    256Mb SDRAM
    Creative Riva TNT2 32Mb AGP graphics
    Creative Live Value Sound Card
    Creative Blaster 56K Modem (brand loyalty???)
    3com 10/100 PCI network card
    Hauppage WinTV card
    plus a DVD drive, CD-RW drive and two HDDs
    All powered by a Q-Tec 550W PSU
    I tried to replace the Riva TNT2 with a new (and tested) Geforce 4 MX460-VTP by MSI. I get 8 error beeps (VGA error) and fail to get the board to POST. Ive tried adding the new SIS AGP drivers (rev. 1.14), changing the RAM, removing EVERY component from the board and power chain (even the CPU cooler, as it doesnt need the fan) tried PCI graphics cards (which work - plus Im using an AGP card now) dropping the AGP down to 1x and nothing. I know the card works because it boots in three other machines (none of which have K7S5A boards) and I just cant get the board to POST.
    If ANYONE has any suggestions please let me know, because the Geforce MX460 is an impressive card (and I only paid £45 for it) and the K7S5A has served me well this past year, and I dont want to have to choose between them. Please tell me whats going on before the geforce ends up on eBay

    Well I changed my cards around abit and ended up with an IRQ setting like this :
    5. MSI MS-Starforce GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
    5. SIS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
    11. Creative AudioPCI
    11. Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast ethernet NIC #2
    11. SiS-900 PCI fast ethernet adapter
    12. SIS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
    Now the problem within #5 - is that "SIS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller" appears to be my USB ports, which are onboard and I can't just move them around like my Netcard and soundcard - my GFX I can't move either, since I only have one AGP slot.
    It still does the same freeze up however.
    Also, I would really like to know how to remove the fan on the GFX, since I can't really clean it properly if I do not remove it. (It's a little dusty, and it will decrease heating if I get it cleaned properly)

  • Gf4MX440-VTP TV-Out doesnt work.

    I've just buyed a dual gf4 mx440 with 64Mb and TV-Out, TV-In.
    When I installed it I began working with two monitors witout problems, but when I've tried to connect de TV-Out, it doesnt word.
    I've checked a hundred times the cable connecting, and it's ok because with my old graphic card I could.
    I tried to upgrade the BIOS with an unofficial version and it didn't work, I downdated to the original version of BIOS again.
    The graphic card detects the TV because it enables the TV-Out option in the configuration, but when I enable it I get a strange screen of one color on TV. The TV get's of a color brown or orange or something like that and I can't see nothing.
    I've selected my country format (Pal/B, Pal/G). I've also tried all other formats whitout any result.
    I'm running Windows 2000 Sp3
    My motherboard is a DFI AD70-SC (With AGP 4x)
    AMD Athlon XP 1.500
    512Mb DDR RAM
    I've tried all but it doesnt work.
    Thank you very much.

    Dunno if this thread is still going, but I figured why not
    Well, I bought the GF4-mx440 VTP (8866) back in october, but haven't actually gotten around to testing it until last night, and I ran into the same issues.
      For reference, the drivers on my cd are 30.00.
      It was quite frustrating, but I did a ton of research and here is what I was able to find out. THis information isn't terribly organized, but bear with me because it's hopefully useful
      TV-out on nvidia cards is not as simple as some may say.  (Ie. all those who say nvidia has way better drivers than ati ).
      Different detonator versions have WIDELY varying tvout support.  In Some versions it works, some it works well, some it works poorly and others it doesn't work at all. Quite shocking, but sadly this is true.
      Bits of info about the MSI-mx440 vtp itself.  The tv out is based on a Seperate chip, the Phillips 7108. This chip handles the tv in and out features.  (Geforce4 chips have themselves an "on chip" solution for tvout.  But typically when manufactures use a Video In chip, you let that chip handle video out also).
      Regarding the 440's bios.  There is only one version (as listed through the live update running win9x).  HOWEVER there are issues with this card and WinXP, to which the fix is to apply a bios update.  I have not tried liveupdate on winxp (I run 98se), but I think that this bios update is only available upon special request to MSI.  I'm not sure how it affects the situation(s) under win9x, but supposedly it fixes some winxp issues.  (I will be installing  XP in a dual boot config shortly, so I'l know for sure soon ).  So according to the MSI support FAQ's, there is a bios update to address issues in winXP, that you can only get through special request (assuming you have winxp).  I am not sure what the affects would be on  win9x system, but since I am giong to dual boot soon, I'll probably have to apply the new bios and find out.
      Okay, so how to find out if it's a software (driver) problem, or if it's hardware (a broken card that you can return).  Here's what you do:
      Unplug all monitors (vga connections) and plug in the TV out (I dont' have any s-vidoe tv's, so I just use the composite (RCA) jack) to a tv, and make sure the tv is on.  Now boot your computer.
      If you get output to the tv (usually the post info from the motherboard, followed by the win98 startup screen) this means your hardware works fine.  (This is what happened to me).  Strangely, it made it all the way into windows (on the tv), but typically what happens is that once windows loads you end up with the messed up   pinkish brown screen.  (I've never been able to have it boot into windows on the tv since then, heh).
      SO if you do get picture during startup (before the os loads) then it means your card is fine, and it's a driver issue.
    *Note: One thing I've noticed is that your tv-output is affected by  which VGA out port you put your monitor on. For me, when booting with both connected (vga and tvout) if it's plugged into one socket, I see both monitor and tv, if it's plugged into the other socket, I don't see tv at boot.  Not a big issue, but worth noting*
      Okay, so now if you did see otuput on the tv during boot (before windows), you know your hardware is working.  So you have to find a driver version that works for you.  I'm going to list my own experiences.
      MY cd came with the 30.00 MSI drivers.  These gave me that icky pinkish brown flickering screen.  Tv-out didnt' work with them.  Tried the 31.00 MSI drivers, same thing.  This was odd I thought, as the two most recent MSI drivers didn't work.  So I tried the MSI 28.90 drivers, same thing with them too.
      Finally I tried the MSI 27.20 drivers, and voilla, tv out worked!  I was able to extend the desktop, and clone it, was even able to tape a downloaded episode of 24 on my vcr .  
     Of course using year old drivers is less than ideal (especially for 3d gamming).  However, these are the ONLY MSI drivers that have tvout working.
      I decided to move on to the nvidia detonator reference drivers, ideally you'd stick with the manufacture MSI, but what can you do.  Here is what I have found so far:
    27.20 MSI - Works with tv out
    27.20 Nvidia - Works with tv out
    27.30 Nvidia - This one is interesting, tv out works in extended desktop mode.  BUT there is no tab in the options for cloning (the 'nview' tab is missing).  So you can't clone, or overlay, only the extended desktop.  So it's an "extended desktop only" driver.
    27.42 Nvidia - Works with tv out (works same as 27.20s)
    28.90 MSI - NO tv out
    30.00 MSI - No tv out
    31.00 MSI - No tv out
    30.82 - Most resent 41.09 Nvidia  - Tried them all, no tv out for any of them.
      I have yet to try all the 28-29 nvidia reference drivers, so dunno if tvout works with them.
      So what does this all mean?  FIrst off, check if your cards hardware works (boot only with tv on and tvout connected, NO VGA).  If your hardware works, then you have to find drivers that work with tvout.  Give the ones that worked for me a shot, see if they work for you. (I typically plug in my vga and tvout at same time, so a see the POST in BOTH of them. Boot the computer with everything on, and then go to the settings and try to enable tvout).
      This situation is less than ideal of course.  It looks like you have to pick your drivers based on 3d performance, or tvout. But not both!  Either use the most recent drivers for the best 3d support (but no tvout!), or 1yr old drivers for tv-out, but not the best 3d support.  I'm an avid gamer personally, so this situation sucks.
      What I find odd, is that MSI's own drivers (28.90, 30.00, 31.00) have these issues.  They are privy to the peculiarities of the MSI cards, so they should be able to address it.
      What the pattern (some drivers work, others don't) suggests to me is that MSI cards aren't fully compatible with the reference design.  Possibly an issue with the bios.
      I will try and get a hold of the bios update for the WinXp issue, and see how that affects the situation in win98se.
      Hopefully this was helpful

    Problem is that I have just built this computer installed windows and all MB drivers and everything is fine I then install th Graphics card drivers and I get a blue screen upon the restart that is to quick to read and the system just reboots to the safe mode selection screen this is an ongoing loop if i select start windows normally. If i select safe mode the system boots up in safe mode.
    I also noticed after I had taken windows back to last known good configuration that windows had not recognised my card and just showed VGA adapter with the yellow exclaimation mark. I have tried another graphics card and that worked fine.
    windows installed it etc automatically
    How can I read the blue screen or what is on it as it flashes up so quickly and what do you fine people think my problem is I have disabled 8x agp in bios
    The TI4200 came out of my previous MSI KT400 Ultra
    Please help

    Doesn't matter if the old PSU ran your old system. That's not the case now. We need the make, model, and specs of your PSU.
    We can't help you if you don't give us the info we requested. Obviously, you have a problem and you can't find it, so you're possibly overlooking something. Read my article on PSU's at the top of the forum. Total wattage rating doesn't guarantee a thing, and many PSU manufacturers intentionally deceive their customers.

  • TV OUT Problem this is how I solved.

    Well, first of all I cannot  guarantee if this will work for all people with tv out problems. TV with PC I think will always be a BIG headache .
    How I did fix my TV OUT problem. Since I live here in Brazil, people have a problem with the system that is Pal-m. But this is easy to set up, since you just have the screen working on your TV.
    The first thing that I did is to remove completely the most recent NVDIA drive (not the one made for MSI) that is 30.82. I also removed the WDM driver. Since Im using XP I didnt have to reboot 30 times just 20,   , yes 20 reboot times to see if everything was all right, it took me about 1,5 hour of work.
    The second thing was that I started to install the driver that came with my MSI Card (Geforce4 MX-460 TV OUT).  The version was 27.50. The TV out problem was gone. I got a really nice image from the screen.
    Than It came the must boring part.  ;(  I tested all nvidia drives from 27.50 to 30.82. Look the results I got concerning just the nview situation(dual monitors):
    Nvidia 28.32. work with nview.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2835 work with nview.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2880 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2890 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2911 doesnt work with nview. Not all parts from the driver was updated, someone belongs to 28.90.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2920 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2942 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2960 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia win-xp-2k-2980 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia Win2k-xp-29.90 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia W2K_XP_V29.90 doesnt work with nview
    nvidia Win2k-xp-3020 doesnt work with nview
    nvidia Win2k-xp-3030 doesnt work with nview.
    nvidia Win2k-xp-3082 doesnt work with nview.
    I got all this drivers from a really nice site: 3dchipset .
    Of course most of these are beta drivers and due to my limitation knowledge, I dont know why the nview display stopped to work at version 28.32.
    And the last. The driver 28.90 driver did a really fatal crash on my PC when I was using my web camera and the nview together. It just shut down my PC, at once.  X(
    That all folks

    Yes, that's how iMessage should work. Try this. Sign out of Messages on both devices. Sign back in on your phone and wait until it activates. Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. Make sure Start New Conversations From is set to our mobile number. Then sign in on your iPad using the same Apple ID as you use on your phone. Once it activates, verify the settings. I've got iMessage syncing across my iPhone, iPad and MBA. Every once in a while, there's a glitch but rarely.
    Best of luck.

  • MSI 6967 or PC2PC license problems!!

    I have 2 MSI 6967, also known as PC2PC.  The drivers on CD are erratic, but I previously managed to get it to work fine with a upgrade to a newer 1.3.x driver.  Now with 1.4.x the damn thing is asking for a license key on install (I was unable to retain the compressed driver file that worked, regrettably).  
    So I went to the slightly rubbish web form to get these, and I entered the correct BD address for each of my devices (I know this to be true, as I when I try to re-register these the web service gives a 'rogue registration' response, so it must store the registered BD's), and obtained a 32-digit key for each.
    When it asks for one of these keys on install, I give it, and it seems ok.  That is, until it has finished, whereupon the bluetooth system tray icon remains red (inactive, or problem), and only the option to 'Start using Bluetooth' is given on right-click.  Naturally I tried this, but it says:
    "Your bluetooth software license does not include use with this Bluetooth device. [6]"
    When I click OK, it then tries to get me to point it to a new, valid license file.  The only one I can see is in the unpacked files that came with the driver download.
    I entered the BD correctly on registration, and it must have been valid as I got a 'valid' response i.e. the web form authorised it as an MSI bluetooth device with that address (presumably the whole purpose of the form, apart from spamming you to high heaven).  I can't do anything else now as it won't let me re-register these BD's anyway.  I can't find the mysterious older driver that worked now, as you can only download the latest (i.e. ) one.  I can't even verify the BD's now, as it doesn't give me the option to go to configuration of the device (although surely they are fixed identifiers anyway, like MAC addresses?).
    Come on MSI, this is POOR service!!  I own these devices, I paid for them, you let me use them for a while and now you have told me to shove it...  If there is no way around this insanely crap rigmarole, please make a driver history available.
    I recently ordered a new-build pc, and I specifically avoided MSI motherboards and other components because of this specific problem I am having with my 'legacy' MSI bluetooth omponents.
    Can someone please let me know how I can get my stuff working again?

    hi
    i bought the adapter today and it was shipped with the old 1.3.1 drivers that didnt work on my w2k pc *EDIT*(bttray say no device, but w2k devicemanager say device is ok and drivers are running)*/EDIT*. so i tried to get the update and ran into the same stupid problems (wrong license file message) :(. the only positive think is that by reading in this forum i find out that:
    1. im not alone with my problems.
    2. if msi was thinking when the talk about 'link to the future', that i have to read lots of rather old postings, that only states that msi didnt care about the problems, or simply can't fix them. and the only solution ist to go to the darkest corners of the internet to get a crack for something that i already payed for.  i think its better for me to stay in the past and never again buy parts from msi, not for me nor for any of my customers (i'm nearly 15 year's in the pc/network troubleshooting bussines).
    3. tomorrow i have to go back to the schop where i bought this useless pice of hardware and give it back. then i wait that the acer adapters are available again. (i use already one on my notebook and was fully satisfied with it, and had mostly no problems at all, at least not such stupid ones).

  • MSI G4MX440 VTP & Windows 2000

    Oh god someone please help me.....
    I am running win2k pro and purchased an MSI G4MX440-VTP yesterday. I have been on the net for hours and have not been able to find a solution to my problem. I have seen mention of a registry hack on other boards but I have not been able to find the actual hack.
    My problem is that when I maximize a window it psans accross both monitors, the taskbar also does the same thing. When I was running 2 seperate cards I had no problem confining a maximized window to ONE monitor and the taskbar only showed on one as well.
    In addition to that my display properties only show ONE monitor, as does my device manager. I am running Dual 18.1" NEC LCD's on the card and the only way I can use both is to enable nView.
    I just want it to work like it used to!
    Or at least look like it is!
    Please for the love of god help me! ;(

    Jeez you would think that someone from MSI, the company who makes and sells the damn cards would have an answer. I guess customer support is not in their business plan. Too bad. Even though I have finally got this card to work properly I won't buy another product from MSI.
    Since nobody here was nice enough to offer a solution, one that I am sure someone must have known about I will post what I found to work.
    I went straight to nVidia and dowloaded their drivers (ver. 30.82) which you can find here : nVidia Drivers
    Followed the instructions and then went into display properties> settings> advanced> GeForce MX 440>
    Then click on the additional properties button, go the the desktop utilities tab and at the bottom you will see and option to "treat multiple outputs on an nView-capable board as seperate display devices."
    This option allows windows 2000 to see both monitors and work in "native" multimonitor mode.
    You then follow the steps as you normally would to set up dual monitors in windows without using nVeiw.
    Thanks to nVidia :] , thanks for nothing MSI.

  • MOVED: MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

    A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did.  When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
    It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
    Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
    If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life.  Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine.  Start with CPU and memory?
    Good luck.

  • MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem

    MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem, need help please!!!
    1st instahttps://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172016.0ll-  internet works- but when I tried to do the "test" in the control panel for KillerNetwork, it failed to load, it said that I needed to install flash. I closed out that window that popped up for running the speed test and got a message that says that in order for the killer networking to work correctly I must perform the "speed test". So I went and downloaded the latest version of "flash player". tried the test again and got the same results. How the heck can I do that if it doenst see that I have "flash" installed....Grrrrr  btw-Flash has been verified and works on the web page where that "test" resides if I go directly to the site, just not via this dialog box that the control panel uses.
    So I deleted the control panel and driver and reloaded them.
    Went to do the "speed test" and got a repeat of the above, so I left it alone and tried to play a game...the lag was horrible, the worst I have ever experienced - unplayable, so I guess that message about the speed test is 100% a must!!
    I have tried everything I can possible imagine, I even reinstalled windows and all the drivers again....still nothing works with this "speed test dialog box"....What to do??
    Thanks in advance-Rob

    Thanks I will try that, if not, it seems the adapter may have an issue beause the internet is jacked up on it right now.
    On that control panel program, I wonder why they wouldnt just program it to take you to the site via the browser and not try to keep it embedded inside that pop-up window<-------hey!!! that just gave me an idea- I wonder if the problem is that it is a type of "pop-up"!! Dang I will have to wait until tonight to try that - "enable pop-ups" ....never thought to try that since it wasnt inside the Chrome browser window itself...maybe its the fix!! "ummm" maybe!!! naaa it cant be that simple ...can it?? lol
    I realy hope it is, well either of these...that lan adapter was the whole reason I went with this MSI board!!

  • MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

    About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
    So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
    What ive done to come to this conclusion:
    - Reinstalled Windows twice,
    - Replaced CMOS Battery,
    - Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
    - Moved CMOS jumper,
    - Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
    - Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
    - Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
    - Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
    - Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
    Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
    The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
    PC Specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
    Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
    PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
    Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
    RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
    HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
    HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
    HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
    I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
    Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

    Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
    HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
    Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
    The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
    The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
    It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
    My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
    P.S.
    A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.

  • Time out problem in BPS

    BPS friends,
    We have a planning function to copy Versions based with some filters. The copy function takes 5 hours and times out after that. The function is reaching max buffer size as recommended by SAP so we cant increase the buffer size anymore.
    We are on BW-BPS 3.5.
    How can I solve this time out problem? Please respond to me.

    Hi Pat,
    How many record did you copy ??
    Could you restrict the copy in not 1 package ??
    Package per package ...
    I suggest you ..
    e.g. you have restriction by a 0CALMONTH / something ..
    Then,
    You can copy e.g. for January to March, then March to August, etc.
    You can automate it by planning sequence.
    Hopefully it can help you a lot.
    Regards,
    Niel.
    thanks for the points you choose to assign.
