Problems with MX440-T8X

Having problems running any 3D stuff with the video card - even the 3D flower screen saver doesn't run smooth.  As for 3D games, a message comes up stating "Can not create direct 3D device".  As for the system, latest drivers are loaded and the system consists of:
Codegen 350Watt PS
Biostar M7VIT Pro (KT400) MB
2 256PC2100 DDR memory
AMD Athlon XP 2100+
WD 120GB 7200rpm HD
DVD/CD-RW
Windows XP Pro with SP1

bsbbelle,
It does not sound like you have your Video Drivers Properly loaded.  I would load either the MSI Drivers from the website or get the nVidia Detonator4 Drivers from the nVidia Website.
Take Care,
Richard

    Not all audio formats are supported by the MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/faq.html
    QuickTime Pro doesn't edit "playback formats" (like MPEG 1 or 2) so you won't see any edit options on these files.
    You'll need some third party software to convert your MPEG-2 files into QuickTime formats (DV Stream is best for preserving quality) if you wish to edit.
    "Is there any hope?"
    Sure. Use third party software to convert and QT Pro to edit.

  • Problem with MX440. Error when accessing tabs under Display in Contro

    I just bought a new GF4 MX420, but  am having lots of difficulty with it.  I replaced a ATI Radeon 7000 with this card, and didnt have any difficulty with the ATI.  
    After installing the latest drivers for the MX420 and trying to access the MSI Information tab, or the MSI Clock tab under display in control panel I get the following error "An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll, Conrol_RunDLL " C:Windowssystem32desk.cpl, Display.
    I have ensured that the card is properly seated in the AGP slot.  Further, I have tried to reflash the bios but I get the following error: "Can not locate VGA BIOS state "
    Everything else on the card seems fully operational.  The store that I bought the card from will not take it back unless I prove the card is defective.  
    i have an AMD 1800XP, Asus A7s333... Someone please help me.  I ahve also installed the lastest AGP drivers.
    And the 3D turbo experience doenst work either..

    Sorry I should refrase my last remark.
    Certain ppl get this problem, but there is no clear cut way to solve it.
    It is a program error that is coming up because of an imcompatability with XP, your drivers, Gf4 and new Gf3 and maybe your MoBo,
    My brother had the exact same thing, and he solved it by a MoBo bios update, plus older drivers.
    But this doesn't help in all cases
    He has Abit MoBo and they brought out a bios specifically for XP and Gf4, thats why I said for you to check with Asus, as they have a new bios for your card and it may solve this.
    I would say 350w maybe undermanned for your needs but to rule out Powersupply probs, if it runs at AGP2x with drivers reinstalled, then this could be the case.
    A thorough test would be to unplug all unneeded hardware and then reinstall drivers and test card.
    Another thing could be that remnants of the old drivers are still clogging up the system somewhere.
    40.41 fix
    could try this program.  Or uninstall drivers, revert back to standard display, delete any registry setting for Nvidia, then install new drivers

  • KM2M and MX440-T8X (problem with AGP)

    Hi every one,
    I'm new to the forum... from Chile.
    I recently bought a KM2M motherboard and I read in the User's Manual that the AGP port goes from 2X to 4X... BUT... if you connect to it a 8X video card with correct drivers, it would run at 8X (KM2M Quick User's Guide pg. 3-14).
    So, I bought a MX440-T8X (MSI 8935)... but the AGP port runs only at 4X!!!!
    I installed all the drivers properly and updated them at MSI homepage.
    What else can I do???  Has anyone suffer the same problem???
    Thanks in advance !!!
    Greetings.

    i dout you will not get any were
    i bet you
    if they had 8x agp on the box or website you might
    any way as im finding you will have to argue with the dealer first
    least ways thats how it is were i live
    as your contracts with him
    also i just read the manual
    your wasting my time
    page 2.25 is quite clear agpx4
    as is summary page 1.2
    the onboard vga is called a savage 8
    thats all i can see re 8
    but thats nothing to do with the vga slot

  • MX440 T8X Bios Problem

    I have problem with my VGA Bios! I have MS GeForce MX440 T8X and I flashed VGA Bios with MX420 Bios
    Now I need Bios for MX440 but I can´t it download
    with live update I only can download version 4.18.20.07.23 Can you tell me where I can find another BIOS ?

  • Problems with XP login screen

    I recently installed a G-force4 MX440-T8X and while installing the software, it disabled my fast switch login screen in win XP and it will not allow me to change it back.  I have tried uninstalling all of the software as well as that piece of hardware and nothing works.  It seems to have installed some third party software that controls my display properties with no way to uninstall it.  Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
    thanks

    What version of drivers and where did you get them?

  • MX440-T8X MS-8895-010 64bit or 128bit?

    I am looking at getting the MX440-T8X MS-8895-010 (green PCB, no fan).
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/vga/vga/pro_vga_detail.php?UID=370
    I bought a Gainward MX440 the other day (*gasp*) and it is only has a 64bit memory width (even though the supplier said it was 128bit).
    From many results I've seen 128bit is a huge improvement over 64bit.
    The only reason I bought the Gainward over MSI is because it listed the width as 128bit and the MSI one didn't say.
    Problem is I don't know how to tell if the MX440-T8X is 64 or 128bit memory width. On the MSI page it says "Supports 128-bit DDR, 64-bit DDR, and 32-bit DDR SDRAM"... well that doesn't help at all.
    Is there any other way to tell? I can only exchange the card once so I can't afford to mess up.
    Thanks so much for any assistance!

    The GF4 you are talking is 128 bit width. The FX 5200 you say is 128 bit width too. The only difference with the 8907 which comes with cooler and red PCB is the cooler itself and the software, and the price. Also, in some versions of the 8907, this card comes with monitoring stuff and the green versiond does not.
    Anyway this is not so important
    Luck!!!

  • Problems with my VGA

     I have taken the MX440 AGP out and replaced it with an ATI radeon7000 PCI.I have enabled the VGA adapter in the start up menu and installed it with little difficulty. however, when I go to use the television feature the monitor goes blank and the computer restarts. Sometimes it does this without trying to use any of the features. I have downloaded so many drivers that my head is spinning and none of the new drivers do anything to help the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Update to a newer BIOS I think it was BIOS 1.2 that said something about VGA changes. Well I haven't tried a PCI card on my system, but try setting the Priority Option that is that BIOS. Default is set to AGP/PCI. Set it to PCI/AGP and also check if there is enough air flow. What you say sounds like an overheating problem. Oh I did have a similar problem with my Radeon 9800 Pro when I put alot of stress (playing games and stuff) it wuold crash. Check your RAM, make sure if it has to be in Dual Mode that it is set in dual mode. That fixed 80% of my instability errors. Dual Mode is DIMM 1&3, DIMM 2&4, or DIMM 1,2,3,& 4.

  • MX440 - T8X Can't get the card over 2X

    I have an MSI MX440 - T8X 64mb DDR vga card. (upto 8X agp)
                   MSI 694T - Pro Motherboard. (upto 4X agp)
                   Pentium 3 1Ghz.
                   512mb memory.
    I have installed uptodate bios for motherboard and vga card.
    Up to date via 4in1 chipset drivers. (and sound drivers) v.449
    tried latest Nvidia drivers and latest MSI vga drivers.
    Put "auto" for agp speed in bios setup. (also tried on 4X)
    no overclocking at all.
    Somehow i had 4X in agp speed on display properties before i upgraded
    the bios and drivers.
    Can't fluke it out again though...
    Please help... It's a shame to have the extra speed and not be able to use
    it. (also can you usually test agp on dxdiag?.. i don't have the test button
    on there just Test DirectDraw and Test Direct3D)

    HockeyFan,
    Unfortunately no one from MSI reads these threads, we are all users helping one another.
    You mentioned that you flashed the BIOs on the VGA card, VGA cards are not like motherboards and they generally don't require flashing unless there is an exact reason and the manufacturer clearly states the benefit of doing so. I constantly see users using live update to do this and it can often lead to problems.
    EDIT **** I overlocked the Title
    Ok, Did you save the original BIOS for the VGA card? Try flashing it back to the original one.

  • Well, some minor problems with my GF4ti 4800

    Hello
    I have some problems with my Geforce 4 MX 440 - 8X. I updated all of my drivers and tried evreything.I have no problems playing games using this card. Everything is perfect. But then, when I enter the MSI 3D!Turbo Experience, the program will encounter some problems and will be closed. If I go to the display propeties and enter either MSI information or MSI Clock, again it will be closed due to errors. I don't think that this is the problem with my motherboard because if the motherboard is faulty, it wouldn't work with any GPU in the first place. I really want to rectify this problem so that I can tweak my card to the fullest ( or maybe this card is a total piece of crap). The following is the specification of my system
    Pentium 4 2.4 B ( 533 Mhz FSB)
    Asus P4S8X motherboard
    Kingston 512 MB PC 2700 DDR ram
    Maxtor 40 GB Diamond Max plus 8 HDD
    MSI Geforce 4 MX 440 T8x ( ms8890)
    Creative Sound blaster Live 5.1 SE
    Samsung DVD rom
    Imation CDRW
    a 400 W PSU casing
    * I also have a MSI Geforce f Ti 4800. It also has the same problem. These cards would work perfectly on another comp of mine. *
    Help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
    Chang K.L.

    i just bought this card
    i formatted my harddrive
    reinstalled winxp pro updated to service pack 1
    and installed cumultive patch for internet explorer
    when i try to click on the tabs "MSI information" & "MSI clock"
    i always get a rundll32.exe error
    also MSI 3D!Turbo Experience crashes internet explorer
    with an error
    AppName: iexplore.exe       AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106

  • MX440-T8X screen orange'ish?

    I just installed the MX440-T8X and when I boot up I see what should be white text that it is now all orange'ish.
    The whole screen has a orange tone.
    Obviously this is now right so I ask is this common when a card is faulty.
    What voltage does this card need since I can't find the info on the site or any doc's in the box.
    My mobo only supports 1.5v 2x/4x
    thanks

    Nope that is not the case as I tried 2 monitors and then put my old video card back in and everthing is fine. I also then tired the card on another system with a older Aopen ak72 mobo and still the exact same orange'ish ting. So in totaly 3 monitors and 2 different mobo's.
    So I am going to have to assume the card is faulty.

  • Cooler for GeForce4 Mx440 T8X

    I bought a GeForce4 MX440 T8X las week, but I saw taht it's has not got a cooler.
    That is right or I need to buy it?
    Regards.

    You mean it just has a heatsink without a fan ?
    If that is what you mean it's normal, you don't need to add anything to it.
    If it has no cooling at all (bare nVIDIA chip) return it as it should come with a cooling solution.
    This heatsink is usually used on MSI MX440 cards:

  • GF4 MX440 T8X still not working

    So here it goes again. Maybe you remember my problem with the above not working. Meanwhile I bought a new PSU (Enermax) with 350W (185W combined) and 33A  3.3V.
    My system: Elitegroup ECS P4VXASD (VIA P4266, Socket 423), Intel P4 @ 1.4GHz and 256MB SDRAM
    The VGA probably gets recognized by the MB as after turning on the power I do not get a VGA missing signal (short beeps), however, there is no video signal and the system stops booting. I also tried the MB manufacturer's forum and I saw that some people had the same problems as me even with Radeon based VGA cards but their questions remain unanswered. Could there be a VGA vs MB incopatibility problem?

    Hmm... you got a point on the latter question..
    Well..
    1. Live Update 2 came with your GF4MX440 T8X card, within the driver's CD, assuming the whole package is retail. If it's not in there, search through the other CDs.
    2. Well... try your video card in a friend's computer. If the card itself is in perfect working order, then try updating the VGA BIOS from there.

  • A problem with threads

    I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
    Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
    My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
    Thank you in advance,
    Lefty

    This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
    public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
         boolean active = true;          
         public void run(){
              ss.setSoTimeout(90);               
              while (active){                   
                   try{                       
                        serverSocket = ss.accept();
                   catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
                   // do nothing                   
         // interrupt thread           
         public void deactivate(){               
              active = false;
              // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the               
              // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.               
              try{
                   sleep(91);               
              }catch (InterruptedException ie){            
              interrupt();
    }
