MSI nVidia GeForce 4200 TI driver problem

Hi.. I really need your help guys..
First of all, I have Windows XP Pro.
Okay, I have this MSI nVidia GeForce 4200 TI card, and wanted to change drivers.
I had 50.xx, and wanted to change back to 40.xx, because it works better with Counter-Strike.
So, I went into Device Manager and went into the video card properties -> driver.
I pressed the 'Uninstall driver', because you need to uninstall the newer driver if you want to install an older driver.
Then my computer restarted, and when it was booting, a blue screen or something came up, with text about my computer was deleting and scanning some files(?).
I don't know what it was uninstalling excatly, but when I got into Windows I had to use a 'VGA driver' or something..
I tried to install the 40.xx driver, double clicked the Setup.exe but when it was begining to install this error came up: 'An error occured while launching the setup. (0x80040702)'.
I don't know what it means, but I can't install any drivers for nVidia?!
I tried the Device manager, and I can't update the 'VGA' ..
It's like my computer isn't recognizing the card or something.. I've tried 'Add new hardware' and everything.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance.
P.S. My PC specs:
Intel Pentium4 2.0GHz
Some IBM mainboard
512DDR
GeForce 4200 TI
Windows XP Pro

Generally for nVidia drivers for the VGA, is what I explained above by going to Add Remove programs in control panel and look for the entry for nVidia display drivers.
Since you are asking me this, I fear you may not be at the experience level required to do this as it can be somewhat of a nightmare if all the drivers are not removed completely. This is what you just experienced.
Look at the top of this forum and you will se an Important thread called driver cleaner, by Bonz and then the one above it by me. Go to the DriverHeaven Website and download the DC utility but make sure you read EVERYTHING and understand it before you proceed. If you are confused or not comfortable, then I suggest finding someone that is experienced enough to do it for you.
It should be pretty straightforward.
Good luck

Problem with MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) when playing 3D games

Games problem
I have bought a new MSI Nvidia GeForce 6800 LE (128MB) a couple of months ago and have been have loads of trouble when playing games.
In windows, the graphics card works fine. The computer never crashes and everything is speedy. Movies on DVD, Xvid, Divx all play fine without problem, the most I get is the occasional freezing and then windows will be normal again.
The problem arises when I try to play a 3D game. When I load up the game it goes into the menu screens ok, the computer will load up the 3D engine and it will play for around a minute nice and crisp then the screen will go blank and computer will lock up. Then all the drives will go quiet and the computer will make 3 beeps with the PC speaker. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL at this point does nothing, nor does the reset button. I have to turn the power on and off.
I really have no clue why this is happening, I have taken the covers off and kept it in a cool area, hoping that it was something to do with over heating, my computer is not overly cluttered and this has made no difference.
I have also unplugged the CDR, DVDR, USB ports, one Hard drive (storage) to see if it was something to do with the power no getting to the Videocard and then tried to play a game and the same problem arose.
I have two games that I have tried, Tiger woods 2005 and doom III, both of which crash in the same manner.
I have tried to be as detailed as I can with the descritopn of my computer below and the power details I'm not sure about so I posted a picture of the power unit to help.
Many thanks for your help in this matter, I'm desperately trying to get some worth out of this card and feel frustrated that its going bonkers only when trying to play games :/
Please tell me if you require further information about the system.

Firstly, thank you for all your prompt responses, I really appreciate it. From the sounds of it, the PSU is ****
antec
From what I have read, the Antec PSUs have good reliability and ratings. I looked around and saw this one: Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU for around £65. I also went read that article posted by Dr Stu, which then stumbled on more articles about PSUs.
I have a couple more questions….
The rating of my system (http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/Power_Supply_Calculator.php) with all the components running came out to be 422W. So do you think that the Antec NEOPower 480W ATX PSU would be sufficient for the computer considering I might add more RAM in the future?
Or should I buy the 500W+ one then?
Does anyone know if the Antec PSUs are quiet? My current q-Tec one makes me feel I'm in an aeroplane.
lucky I read the forum!
I was in Maplins (computer shop) at lunch and thought, that shiny 650W Q-Tec looks nice and there looks like loads of power, that much do the trick. i got to the counter and thought.....let me wait, till i get home from work and read some more on the forum about this PSU issue.
Thanks god I didn’t buy that S***. having read some of the reviews, i would have wasted loooots of money for nothing.

MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, 4GB 128-Bit DDR3 on my p7-1380t Desktop

I am looking for a new graphics card that will not require a new power supply and I was wondering if this one would work with my computer. I am not looking for any top of the line stuff and nothing too expensive either
MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 640, 4GB 128-Bit DDR3
This question was solved.
View Solution.

A-diddy, welcome to the forum.
If this is the video card that you want to buy, I don't believe that it will work with the existing 300W PSU. It has an additional power connector which means that it requires more that the 75W provided by the PCIe slot to operate properly. The specs say that it only consumes 45W. I don't know why they have an additional power connector. Your existing PSU does not have the required cable for the connector.
I suggest calling the manufacturer's Customer Service to verify the requirements are correct.

NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes Win 8.1 Pro

NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes/kills/shuts down Win 8.1 Pro, which also fails to start!
The previous version 340.52 worked ok.
Solution to get a working system:
1) let Win 8.1 take into use the previous working version (you may loose some app updates)!
2) let Win 8.1 pro update itself (takes a long time but its worth waiting!)
Note:
a. Ten points to Win 8.1 Pro being able to restore the previous working version
note: compare to Linux with eternal rest loop and "kernel in panic" state if you use NVidia's new drivers!!
b. Zero points to NVidia from this bug!
Continuation: waiting for a well tested new NVidia driver while using the older one

Hi, had exactly the same last night, on my relatively clean 8.1 64bit, GeForce Experience flagged up a recommended upgrade from 340.52 to 344.11 on my GTX650 ASUS card. Bumbled along for a while, then blue screened, reported kernel damage,
wouldn't even get far enough to restore, so had to use the 8.1 disks. Today, given its a completely clean system I tried again to prove the Nvidia was to blame, and again GeForce flagged up this upgrade, there's nothing on the system except
for Office and Avast, and again completely crashed and cycled the blue screen trying to boot. This time it eventually went into repair mode and restored right back to a clean 8.1 without the DVD's, but still had to reinstall my apps. Lots about
this on forums, seems this upgrade scrambles the registry big time. Anyone know what the actual cause of this was ?? Pretty fed up with Nvidia releasing untested crap like this.

MSI Geforce 7800 GTX with MSI Nvidia GeForce 7800GT in SLI?

Hi. I bought the MSI Nvidia GeForce 7800GT a few months ago with the intention of buying a second to run in SLI. Now i can't seem to find anywhere that sells it at a decent price. Originally i bought it from www.ebuyer.co.uk but they have discontinued it.
Could i buy a MSI Geforce 7800 GTX and run it in SLI? They should have the same gpu and the specs aren't that different.

I´ve being requested to force install Nvidia drivers, but since i have owned several NVidia (TNT2, Geforce 2 Gts, Ti 4800, Fx5900, 6600gti) display adapters, and NEVER i havent had to force install ANY drivers, i am wondering why i have to force install drivers for this display adapter? Why is it so with the Msi? I hope that this product isn´t that bad.
By the way can i have instructions for force installing drivers, if i have to do it. I hope that Msi will give drivers that will work with this card.
Yours,
Samuli

Yes, beta drivers worked for me also! It seems that Nvidia has some sort of bug in it´s latest official forceware release, it does not recognise 7600gs agp display adapter. But i think and hope it will be fixed in future release, before that i have to use beta or the older drivers supplied with msi card. Thanks Yoppy for the tip! By the way you reported that you have video problems with beta drivers, i dont have such problems, div-x and every video file has worked fine so far! So you have to wait for the next release of new drivers.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver for Vista x64

Hello,
I have an issue with my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 17" that was released on the 5th of June, 2007.
It has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT installed on it and I simply cannot find Vista 64 bit drivers for it.
I have tried the latest beta Vista x64 drivers (163.11) downloaded from nVidia's official website. I have tried several previous versions including 100.97 one, which contains drivers for 8600M GT model. But they don't work with me. All the driver installation programs allert the following error and quit:
'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit'.
I also tried Vista 32-bit drivers for 8600M GT. The driver installation program claims the operation system is wrong and quits.
Anybody has the same issue?
Does a working driver of nVidia GeForce 8600M GT for Vista x64 exist at all?
MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Windows Vista nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

There was one Apple's presentstion where they boot into Windows Vista. So if you claim you can do it why do you forget about Vista x64 customers? I reckon it is because of Leopard that is coming. But it's not an excuse.
I'm currently working in Vista x64 and everything is fine except one thing, I cannot find a working graphics card driver and it is manufacturer's responsibility to provide it. Apple knew there going to be customers who will install Vista x64 on their computers and they at Apple didn't care about it because I guess it's a lame war between you know who.
So why you don't make everything perfect to attract even more Windows customers but instead you hint that you don't care about Vista x64 as you are getting your own 64-bit OS soon. So now they are forcing me to wait having been announced that I can use Vista. But isn't that kind of lame that it's slightly tardy? Why I should wait for Leopard launch if I was insured that Windows will work on my Macbook Pro? Because Apple claim you can run Windows. And don't say it's not official. Who else if not Apple made it possible to run Windows on Mac.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just angry that I cannot find a working driver.

Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT Driver for Vista

Hi mac-world!
I'm using BootCamp to start Windows Vista on my Mac Book Pro. I recently bought a seperate TFT-Display from Belinea, which I connect to my Mac Book via DVI. This isn't a Problem while using MacOS, but in Vista I can't adjust the resolution of the seperate Display to more than 1024x768 px. I already installed the Belinea Driver, but that doesn't solve the problem.
I am wondering, if I maybe need a driver update for the grafic-card. Unfortunately, Nvidia doesn't provide a driver download, but says, I need to contact my Laptop-Vendor for this issue. I didn't find a driver-download section on this page. Does someone know a solution? Where do I get the new driver?
Thanks in advance
regards
Thorsten

In my case after going through normal Shut Down procedures, I
noted that after I go through normal shut-down-from-Windows, the machine does not power off. I can only turn off the machine by pressing the power switch for a few seconds.
When I do not press this switch, Windows restarts after about ten minutes;
after, however, I receive a brief report (which I never manage to read in full)
informing me that a software may not have been properly installed or that I
need a windows update.
This problem appeared long after I installed all the software that I use,
and I have checked whether I'm fully updated (I am).
Lately when I start-up after experiencing this problem, Windows indicates
that the problem is caused by an NVIDIA graphics driver and suggests that I
check for a driver update. I have tried the NVIDIA Website but there was no
reference to the graphics card installed in my machine, namely GeForce 8600M
GT - I only found a driver for GeForce 8700M GT.
I have since solved the problem as rerported in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1492731&tstart=0
However, I stll wonder why there is no reference to 8600 in the NVIDIA site.

Satellite P10-554 nvidia geforce fx go5600 driver update

Hi all,
I just tried to update to very last nvidia driver version 78.01. Running the setup I got an error message indicating that the setup routine couldn't find a driver that is compatible with the hardware installed. According to the doc the new update supports the harware installed.
Does someone why I can't update to most recent version?
Thanks in advance
Karl
BTW: I already uninstalled the current driver, rebooted the machine and tried to install the new version without success.

Hi Juan, hi R2D2
thanks for your answers. I found the driver on the german site as well as on the english one:
http://www.nvidia.de/object/winxp_2k_78.01_de.html
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winxp_2k_78.01.html
If you follow the link "Products Supported" on this page a list of the supported products is being displayed (I just noticed that the card supported is GeForce FX 5600 and not GeForce FX Go5600). May that's the reason.
The last driver on the Toshiba site is 4.4.8.5.
Since weeks I'm trying to pinpoint a problem that the turns off due to the settings of the power management. But I can't reactivate the display when moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard. So I try to find out if it's a software or a hardware issue, but without success so far.
Best regards
Karl

'Which is better quality?' EVGA or MSI - Nvidia GeForce GTX 760

Hiya
I am looking for feedback and suggestions on which manufacturer creates the best video card hardware particularly the 760 I am currently looking at two cards but am also open to other suggestions and feedback on cards
has anyone had any experience with MSI video cards?
these are the two cards I currently have in mind
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932
MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760 2GB
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745
does the MSI have any advantage over EVGA in longevity with something like solid state Japanese capacitors? I am kinda looking for a card that will last the longest with out warranty support ect
and do MSI cards have rust problems? I thought I would ask just to be sure when I made a account I saw this thread at top of forum with a picture that will surely haunt my dreams
forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171735.0

This is an MSI forum. Discussing competing brand's products is not allowed. The MSI card is a great one. Google it and check online reviews.

and do MSI cards have rust problems?
No, I'm using all kinds of MSI vgas for more than 10 years and have never seen anything like the pic in that thread. It's something the user did physically to this card as that doesn't happen just after time.

New Nvidia in Bootcamp XP driver problems

Hi All,
I recently installed the new drivers from Nvidia on my XP Bootcamp partition. All seemed well, and I noticed an improvement in performance for my game, Age of Conan, after installing new drivers and rebooting the system.
However, I get home today switch to Bootcamp, XP loads but as soon as it loads some Nvidia software ( I am assuming its a service here since I couldnt find anything in the startup folders) the whole thing freezes and I get a weird gfx error where the screen displays aload of crap.. which requires a reboot.
I try to boot up in safe mode to address the problem, but the keyboard and mouse are not active to select the various options. Although I am able to get into the options by pressing F8 as normal.. So i cannot select safe mode.
So I loaded up parallels, set the services I suspect are the problem to off, but it seems it still loads up the software thats causing the probs. I assume here that its using a different system startup from parallels.
I tried to install the old bootcamp drivers from within parallels but its using a different display system and so the driver setup wont work.
What is weird is I have used these drivers before, with no problems, to play eve-online on a bootcamp partition which I had to delete and recreate for disk resizing issues.
HELP!
Thanks..
EDIT: I can boot the bootcamp partition using parallels so its clear its a display driver issue.
Message was edited by: dynamostia

Okay so I have managed to boot from XP natively by using run in windows from parallels, and using msconfig to perform a limited startup.
No probs.. it boots fine.
However, when I try to install the offical nvida bootcamp drivers I get the previous message that I dont have the supported hardware. Ugh!
Any ideas?

MSI Radeon 3850 OC Edition driver problem

Hi! I have problem with this VGA. When I try to install driver, or Catalyst controll center downloaded from official AMD page, my computer stops responding.
