New MSI Nvidia drivers 41.07

Just noticed that MSI released it's new Nvidia drivers. They are using version # 41.07 and have a release date of 2/14/03. It's supposed to fix the incorrect memory bug in the MSI tab.
Now my question is, what drivers should I use? The Nvidia or the MSI? I recently downloaded the Nvidia 41.09 drivers and installed them, then did the trick to remove the MSI tab from the display properties. Why does MSI release it's own version of what appear to be Nvidia drivers? It really is confusing.....
I may try these MSI drivers because of the problems I've been having getting games to run with the Nvidia drivers. Games like Quake 3 freeze up after only a few seconds. Other may work for a few minutes and then die and rebott my sytem.

41.07 does not fix the incorrect memory size in the MSI
Tab, infact it is after I installed 41.07 that I first noticed the problem.
I'm using NVidia 41.09 which reports 128 meg.

[GeForce 6] What's that sw20.exe file in msi nvidia drivers ?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded et installed msi nvidia drivers for my NX6600 GT (agp and vivo). No problem. But i discovered this morning that a sw20.exe file was launched by the registry at windows start up. It took me a long time to discover that this file had been installed with the drivers.
So, here is my question : what's the use of this file ?
Thanks for the answers et sorry for my poor english.

New LiveUpdate NVIDIA drivers posted

MSI seems to finally have added versions 61.72 and 61.76 of the nvidia geforce fx graphics drivers on their "live update" software. But the download doesn't work (at least for me)...just gives a cryptic IP error. Anyone else seeing this?

How do you let them know?
I have somehow screwed up my driver. When it paints the screen, it studders. I had this problem bsck when I first setup XP and reloded driver at a friends advice and it solved problem. Went to do same thing and have misplaced my disk. I found MSI download site and got a zipped file but don't have a clue on how to install. It had a gazillion files.
thanks.

New Mixed Nvidia drivers sets

Availible at http://www.techconnect.ws go for the 3.16 set

I updated to the mixed drivers sets for the sound mostly,
using the 3.28 with the 3.66.7 sound driver now but on my (other) Nvidia board.
As far as Raid preformance that may not make any difference as I am using a controller card and has it's own drivers.
Waiting for my pro9800 256 to start doing some real benching, still setting up.

New MSI 6200 TD256 card in a KT4 Ultra (via) board,no boot, no page, help please

Hello.
just bought a new MSI Nvidia 6200 TD256 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127186) and I put it in my KT4 Ultra board (via chipset). I am using the newest bios (1.4) and Via 4in1 chipset drivers.
What happens is when I boot the machine, everything starts up, but I get no PAGE and the D-Bracket is hung at the "testing VGA bios this will print ..." (thats what it says in the manual).
Now, I've done the best I can to research this issue, but best I can guess is this is a bad card and I should just return it for a replacement... the card does look fine, I see no physical damage and it seemed to be properly shipped. I did read that kt4 boards don't support 3.3v AGP cards... but I'm not really sure what that means.
Anyways, if anyone has any insight on something I should try before I have to go through the return process that would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Cody

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.

New MSI 5900XT Owner - Which Drivers? MSI's or Nvidia?

Hi guys! I am a proud new owner of an MSI 5900XT card. But I do not know which drivers I should use. Do you recommend the MSI custom drivers or the reference Nvidia Drivers? Can I still use the MSI overclocking feature with the ref Drivers?
THANKS!

JRE 1.3.1_02 does not work with new Nvidia drivers - HELP!

I am a user and not a developer but this problem really does bite the big one. I have had installed JRE 1.3.1 and have used it to run LimeWire file sharing program for a long time (LimeWire is a java program from www.limewire.com) and also use it to see java applets on web pages in IE 6.
I have since upgraded my Nvidia video drivers to version 2.8.3.2 which is the latest official release at this time from Nvidia. Since doing this I have no java at all anymore. Limewire refuses to run at all and there is an error report generated in it's resident directory. If I go to http://java.sun.com, IE hangs and then dissappears, leaving a bug report on my desktop. It seems that JRE does not like the new NT OpenGL dll at all in the new Nvidia drivers and will not run at all. The dll that causes the problem is:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvoglnt.dll
I upgraded JRE to version 1.3.1_02 because Sun says this is the latest version and runs on XP which is what I have. Still java does not run at all anymore and I get the same bug reports. Has anyone found a workaround for this problem? This really stinks because now I cannot use LimeWire at all and if any web page has java on it, it dissappears right away and there is no more browser on my desktop. The only way I can even visit http://java.sun.com is if I use a Java blocking applet to filter out java applets on web pages.
Please address this issue in JRE development and release a patch for it or a workaround.
Thank you for reading this.

Chuck,
I stumbled in here looking for help, I am a PC user,
not a coder or developer (How sad. <g>). I checked for
updates to the Nvidia driver (none), Windows XP (not
at this time), and DirectX 8.1 (not at this time,
these come on the XP updates page so far as I know.)
Not too suprising...
I have no idea of how to implement your suggestion on
how to disable the JMV use of DirectX overal in my XP
envornment. I guess that using Internet Explorer 6 to
see web pages with Java on them are pretty much out of
the question for now but I would be happy as a clam if
I could get my LimeWire application going again.
LimeWire is called via a desktop or Start menu
shortcut in this fashion:
Target Box: C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe -cp .
RunLime
Start In (directory): "C:\Program Files\LimeWire 1.7"
So it appears that java is called via the javaw.exe
file and passes a cp argument (whatever that is), then
there is a period separator (dunno why) and then the
"RunLime" statement that calls up the LimeWire
program.to implement the suggestion, simply add -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true between "javaw.exe" and "-cp" separating it from them by a space on each side. Your result should look something like this:
c:\windows\system32\javaw.exe -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -cp . RunLime
>
I cannot see any need for fancy graphic acceleration
or DirectX being called to play for this application
since it is basicly a file manager that shares.
Nothing fancy about it.It's not the application choosing to do this, but Java itself. Java GUI applications specifically those who use the Swing GUI classes (like LimeWire, if I recall) automatically leverage DirectX. This is really valuable for Swing applications since they emulate Windows (or Mac or Motif) GUI widgets rather than using them, making fast access to display buffers important to ensure best performance.
>
Do you have any idea of how to pass your
"-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" statement to disable
DirectX into the above call to start java and
LimeWire?See above.

Hanging by the edge of my seat, waiting for more input
on this. Thank you for your time and suggestions.

MSI Official drivers NVIDIA all GeForce series

Hello all,
I'm new to this forum & my question is -
I have an MSI NX6800GT-TD256 graphic card (mine must be one of the early ones - hasn't got a fan speed switch)
I am using the NVIDIA VGA Driver 82.65 for Win XP/2000 (Update Date 2006-01-16)
And I wonder if I should be using "newer" -
NVIDIA VGA Driver 82.12 (Update Date 2006-02-07)
This info can be seen at -
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=130&prod_no=728
You may be wondering what's your problem?
I was under the impression that driver version numbers went up not down.
I know that the "newer driver" is of a later date, but I still wonder.... about the version number also the download for the "newer" is smaller not larger.
You may also think why doesn't he go to the NVIDIA website & download much newer drivers.
Well along time ago when I bought my first graphic card - a Hercules 3D Prophet DDR-DVI (32 mb with NVIDIA GeForce 256 GPU) I was told by the manufacturer that although the standard NVIDIA drivers would work, I would get better results using the card manufacturer's version of that same driver. (It having been tweaked to run better with their card).
My son has the same MSI graphic card as mine (later version - with switch) & he tried a later version from the NVIDIA website & had problems, & he went back to using 82.65 & everything worked fine.
So after all the above waffle of mine, can someone who really knows the answer to my question tell me -
82.12 or 82.65 ?
Thank you for reading this & for any help you can give.

PS Please don't bother suggesting any Beta drivers

Don't want to look dumb, but I have no idea on how to flash from an USB key, could I burn a CD ISO and do the same? Also what are the exact settings of the bios posted in that thread you just told me? I might only need to set voltage to 1013, everything else seems correct.

Hi pacnow,
Re flash the card which comes with 823MHz with BIOS attached below.
How to:
Create a USB key bootable
How to make USB key bootable: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
Then get attached file, and extract & copy all files nvflash.exe, CWSDPMI.EXE and 103.rom
to the USB key.
Then reboot the computer and boot from the bootable USB key,
when you see A:\ or C:\ type:
nvflash.exe -b old.rom [ENTER]
Wait process to finish, this will backup/save your current VBIOS.
Then flash the new VBIOS with:
nvflash.exe -4 -5 -6 103.rom [ENTER]
Wait process to finish, then reboot the machine and you're done

lso what are the exact settings of the bios posted in that thread you just told me?

Older Mobo/Newer Nvidia Drivers

Having some weird issues with the newest nvidia ethernet driver (67.89), here is my system specs on this 2+ year old system:
MSI P6N Plat (BIOS 1.7)
Q6600@stock speed
4gig RAM@800mhz
Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
I decided to upgrade all the nforce drivers to the latest, and after the 15.25 installer removed the nforce ethernet, it rebooted and
continued the install with the newest drivers. Now I usually set the network connection to show when it's connected in the taskbar. When the computer boots into windows with the new driver, this icon doesn't pop up, and when I try to load a web browser, it acts as if
there is no connection. As soon as I open up the Network Connections or device manager areas, the icon will pop up and I can then connect. I have never had this much of a delay in loading this driver at bootup. If I sit at the desktop and do nothing, the icon/connection never shows up.
So I went back to the MSI site, and I see they currently list an older version of the nforce drivers for this board still, so I downloaded those, and only chose to install the ethernet driver (67.15). Now I'm back to having my adapter/connection load up right away, but this is with a mismatch of nvidia drivers. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this with the new drivers, or doesn't have these issues with the new nvidia driver. It may work better with a fresh OS install, but since I got it working the way it was, I'd rather not do a reinstall just for the new driver. I'm not having any other issues with the system.

Yes, I was hoping not to break anything, but the risk was low (lower than a BIOS update for sure). Usually when issues do arise, the first thing someone asks is "Do you have the latest drivers?". While nothing was broke, my main hope was for slightly better performance than before, which we are all trying to get out of our rigs.
I was wondering if anyone here with the same motherboard might have run into this too. I guess I'm more worried I will end up doing a fresh reinstall one day a few years from now and only have access to the latest drivers, and wonder what the issue is. I'll probably be installing a different OS at that time anyways.

MSI GT70 2OD Nvidia Drivers

Is there a reason why MSI GT70 2OD owners are unable to upgrade to the latest Nvidia Drivers for their 780M?
Other brands with the 780M seem to be able to upgrade (Alienware, Clevo etc), but the drivers won't work with the MSI Laptop.
Will we only be able to get drivers from MSI for this laptop, or in the future will we be able to install drivers from Nvidia?

Quote from: Svet on 04-July-13, 18:49:08
nvidia should add support for MSI's as well with next updates.
Svet is 100% accurate with this.
When the GT70's originally came out with the GTX6XX cards in them, they didn't have support from NVidia for a few driver releases. I expect that within the next few driver releases, support will be added.
Most likely, it should be possible to make the new drivers work if you did some INF editing though.....

[GeForce 6] problems overclocking my NX6800GT with newer nvidia drivers

Hiya guys,
JUst wondering if anyone else is having issues oc,ing there 6800gt with the newer nvidia drivers?any driver newer than the 71.25 version causes freezes and corruption and does not matter what speed its at even does it at 360 1050 but at default 350 1000 everything is fine.
BUt oc,ing with the msi 71.25 and below drivers it runs without error at 400 1100 temps are at 52c load 45idle,
Have installed fresh winXP pro,thought it may have been a power problem so i ripped out my 420w thermaltake psu and replaced it with a nice new Enermax noisetaker 485w psu with dual 12v:18a rails still no go,have tried every driver availible only drivers 71.25 and below will oc,all driver up to 76.50 will not,also have tried coolbits,rivatuner,powerstrip etc..and still no go.
Has anyone come accross this?? feel free to share.....

wow - this is my story also... I have been up and down the street with my MSI 6800GTs (in SLi) and they do not OC worth a damn... I am pretty bummed out due to the money, time, blood, sweat, and tears I have shovled into this rig and I only get stock... essentially... I have tried all the OC'ing utilities, different power supplies, volt modding... and I think it's got to be some bios setting or maybe the one piece GPU memory cooler design... the GPU and memory both heating this thing... I don't think it works that well... honestly... I have been around the net, on many forums... and the only peeps who have /any/ luck with OC'ing these MSI 6800GTs are water cooled... anyways... I have spent soooo much time on this and for that reason alone I doubt I will be buying MSI products in the future, but I would still like to find a solution which allows me to push my $900 worth of video cards to ultra speeds. I am really considering going with water cooling... but I really don't want to deal with the hassles of it right now... what I would really like to find or buy are some 6800 Ultras reference design coolers to install on my GTs... I think a lot of this inabillty to OC well is heat related... I know I can get 10mhz more out of my cards when my room is cool.... I have a LOT of air on these cards... and good ventilation... I have my system stats in another post on this forum entitled "nx6800GT OC issues in SLi" or something like that. Good luck man, and I will let you know if I find a solution for this.

Overscan missing from new Nvidia Drivers - Mac MIni 2010

So I was able to install new Nvidia drivers on my Mac mini 2010, however, there are no overscan options.. and my tv is connected via HDMI. Is there any workaround for this?

The final version of Appleworks 6 does in fact work on the Intel Mini under Leopard -- but Apple doesn't support it, nor ship it with the new Minis.
A free office suite that is MS Office compatible is NeoOffice:
http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/maindownload.php
a similar alternative is OpenOffice:
http://www.openoffice.org/
There is no office suite that is directly compatible with Appleworks files, but if you install AppleWorks 6 on your Mini, you could export files in formats that other office programs can read.

For this new bashing about nvidia i personally have another view of this. But first i must say again that i use the nvidia drivers only on 2 pc (7500 and 4600) under arch linux and not on a laptop.
The story from my view is that the kde4 developers make a intensive use of a functionality which has never been used before in this way under linux and which was no problem for the original xorg drivers. I don't know what you works but if i would be the supervisor of the linux developers from nvidia than i would say that they have to test the driver even for the newest kernel and the newest xorg version but don't take a look for every beta or preview version of other applications which includes kde or gnome too. Employees don't works for nothing and so you have even to decide what you will do with your non-endless manpower. And if you look in the forum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14) you will see that nvidia have recognized the problem, works on it and have a new beta driver with a better support for this problem. What can a company do more?
So i'm a little bit surprised that people have impatience for at example that the kdepim suite 4.1 don't use the new akonadi framework but have no impatience to wait for a new stable nvidia driver under kde4. And still again, we speaks about the first "ready to use" version of kde4 which was released since a couple of days and not years. But this be only my 2c.
oh so you mean to say release a powerful product, i mean tout it as powerful with all the features and then dont release good enough drivers for it for months, maybe you are happy with that equation.
The expectation is to get what you paid for I am not a open source zealot, for all I care Nvidia can keep their source closed, but I am unwilling to wait for months to get the FULL functionality from my card when it is worth half its price. What is so crazy about asking for accountability from a corporations...is it so hard to fathom?
Oh yes I will keep pointing it out till I wish or till my card becomes OLD and when I have to buy a new one I will take this into account. As some would say oh Nvidia doesnt have to care about all this bitching they don't have to care about linux etc etc. I am speaking for myself I may be insignificant for nVidia but I am not happy.

[GeForce 6] New 6600GT - Nvidia 71.89 or MSI official driver 71.25 ?

Hi Guys,
I have just purchased the MSi NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP card and before I install the Card I wanted to get all the latest drivers etc.
Browsing the MSI website the MSI Official Drivers for this card is version 71.25 but Nvidia have a 71.89 release.
I would like to know the following...
Is there any advantages in installing one or the other? ie Does the MSI version have somthing specific for my card.
Should I always update to the latest Nvidia Release?
I have also read in this forum that the 71.89 has had performance issues with this series of card and that people are sticking with the nvidia 71.84 release.
If the 71.84 is the recommended driver release that I should install, then where can I now download this version from now?
Thanks
Wyz

I also bought this card and use the 71.84 drivers. I also added this registry key:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTweak]
"CoolBits"=dword:00000003
This allowed me to watch the core and memmory speed of my video card. Although I read that the core speed of this card is 500MHz and the memmory is 900MHz the added key showed 300 and 900 MHz. Is there something wrong with my card or should I overclock it in order to run at 500MHz?
Thanks in advance...
300 mhz =2d mode
500 mhz = 3d mode
Thats why it's showing only 300 mhz...
