Strange problem with VGA drivers MSI GX620 (NVIDIA GeForce 9600m GT) SOLVED!!

Hi.
First. The reason why I am installing the modded drivers from laptopvideo2go is that MSI didnt release new mobile GPU drivers (179.28) with PhysX support YET.(Wondering why other notebook manufacturers did only MSI didnt so far) So the only option was modded drivers. But when I install ANY other GeForce drivers (than orig. from MSI) on fresh formated NB with installed MSI drivers of other components it runs well only when the NB boots up with plugged AC. When I try to boot on batteries drivers allow only 16 bit color on desktop and all aplication. To enable 32 bit I have to Turn off the NB, plug to the AC and boot up.
I read somewhere that MSI advices to use orig MSI drivers 176.60. I followed their advice until I got som apps using PhysX. I think it is nonsense to have PhysX capable Hardware, but because of the MSI driver development you cant use it.
Please MSI do something with it!

179.28 are BETA drivers, don't expect MSI to release BETA drivers.
MSI will probably put them online shortly after they are released by nVidia, it's that simple.
You simply don't get it, do you? You cannot expect something from anybody if you don't push him. MSI's laptops aren't supported in NVIDIA's laptop drivers release because... NVIDIA didn't wanted it? Said NO to one of their biggest GPU customer? Or it's just MSI's lack of interest?
Those driver's aren't perfect, but it comes to the point when NVIDIA had to start care about customer with their hardware, when vendors don't.
I will continue trying to help any MSI's customers as far my knowledge goes, but advocate for their lack of support isn't a solution. No, one driver release 7 months ago cannot be called support. Definitely not when it comes to (so called) gaming laptops. Even NVIDIA knows it.

  • Problems with 3D Hardware acceleration on nVidia geForce 7300

    I have a system with a Core 2 Duo CPU and a nVidia geForce 7300 graphic card. I am trying to run a 3D robotics simulation program (Webots 7.0.3) and its performance is abysmal. I never had graphic performance issues before---but then again, I never tried to run this particularly intensive simulation software. Other simulation software compiled from source (e.g. player/stage ) runs smoothly.
    Where can I start to look to find out where the problem is?
    Here is what I've been able to find out so far:
    1. Hardware acceleration seems to be enabled:
    [stefano@polus]$ glxinfo | grep -n5 "direct rendering"
    1-name of display: :0
    2-display: :0 screen: 0

    8- GLX_SGIX_pbuffer, GLX_SGI_video_sync, GLX_SGI_swap_control,
    2. glxgears reports very poor performance: about 60FPS. The software manufacterer says their product needs around 2000FPS to run smoothly

    3. The software (i.e. Webots) is proprietary, and their linux version is built against libjpeg version 6.2. Archlinux currently runs libjpeg 8, so I had to manually install the older version.
    4. The software runs satisfactorily on my Kubuntu laptop, an old Lenovo T61 which has similar (or similarly aged) hardware. In other words, the CPU seems to be adequate and the prolem lies with the graphic setup in my Archlinux system, I believe. 
    5. I read the nvidia pages on the Arch website, the nvidia-linux pages and the Xorg pages on how to set up xorg.conf. It did not help.
    Some info on my system are appended below.
    Any hint greatly appreciated.

    Why you get 60FPS? you have your answer there.
    I noticed that and was wondering about it. I am not familiar with glxgear at all and I am not sure about the exact meaning of the statement about framerate. But one of the developers of the software I am trying to run sent me this glxgear output, obtained on a recent Ubuntu system running under VMWare (on a Windows host, I presume):
    $ glxgears
    11030 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2205.791 FPS
    11492 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2298.289 FPS
    What gives? Are they running a different version of glxgears or is there some hidden switch in glxgears that unties it from monitor refresh rate and makes it work as a benchmark tool  (man glxgears did not report any)?

  • Strange problem with desktop

    Hi, I have a very strange problem with desktops and dashboards something else. For example, when I am on desktop 2 and i go to desktop 1, when I click with the mouse on it, it goes again to desktop 2. or when I am on desktop 1 and I go to ddashboard, it returns again to desktop 1 when i click to something in the dashboard.
    but, if i am on desktop 3, and i go to desktop 1 throguh desktop 2, there is no problem. the same if i go from desktop 2 to dashboard.
    I hope i've been clear enough to let you understand this... explanation =P
    Anyone can help?

    My system has started "freezing". Actually, usually when I'm browsing the net, Chromium stops loading pages. Conky stops updating, and usually I can't switch to another programs. I can't start xkill from menu, menu opens but nothing starts. If I run "ls" etc in Terminal, nothing happens
    I can however control+alt+F1 to CLI, but if I try to login nothing happens.If doesn't help even if I kill X (I started it with startx). And if I don't kill X, I can't go back from CLI with control+alt+F7, there's just a black screen.
    I'm using Nvidia drivers also, and XFCE4. This started happening some time ago, I think I was using Gnome2 back then. And I have updated my system, and this has happened at least with 3 kernel versions. There's nothing on logs. Well, actually, there's "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 6881. Sending cookies" errors on everything.log. But those don't happen when system freezes. And sometimes Chromium stops loading pages but other programs don't freeze, I think it's a problem with cache or something.
    Not really sure if this everything happens because of Chromium. I think I'm gonna switch back to Firefox and see what happens. Usually I'm running Chromium, Opera (use it just for a couple of pages), couple of Terminals and Kaffeine.

  • Strange problem with connection to Integrator Server

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with making a connection to my Integrator Server.
    I have one workspace folder that I share between Integrator version 2.4 and 3.0 (I have several versions installed for testing purposes)
    When I try to create a new Integrator Server Project in Integrator Designer I get this nice 'Connect to CloverETL Server' panel.
    By default: the connection URL is http://localhost:8080/clover. So by default Integrator Designer wants to connect to my 2.4 Integrator Server.
    When I change this to http://localhost:8301/clover by using the drop-down box and fill in my credentials everything is looking fine. I click Next.
    The problem now is that every time I switch to the next or previous configuration windows the connection is reset to the default http://localhost:8080/clover.
    So it seems like Integrator Designer resets the CloverETL Server URL each time I switch to a different configuration window by using NEXT or BACK.
    The problem occurs in both versions of Integrator Designer.
    Does anybody know that the problem is? Can I change the default URL to my 3.0 Integrator Server?
    Greetings,
    Marcow

    I'm using iPlanet App server as well and experiencing similar problem. I load my SQL Server driver by Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"), then use DriverManager.getDriver() to obtain the Driver.
    However, the Driver returned is not the SQLServerDriver as expected. The Driver returned is com.netscape.server.jdbc.Driver! And then when I do Driver.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://MyServer"), it throws an SQLException saying that it doesn't accept a jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver subprotocol. Well, of course it doesn't, it's not a microsoft Driver at all.
    I suspect the problem is that the netscape Driver's acceptsURL() method ALWAYS returns true in iPlanet app server, thus when you getDriver(), the netscape Driver is always returned (and always returned as the first one since it's default?). Thus even though the same piece of code works fine as a standalone application, it just doesn't work on iPlanet app server.
    My work around is:
    Class.forName("my.Driver");
    Enumeration enu = DriverManager.getDrivers();
    Driver useThis = null;
    while (enu.hasMoreElements()) {
    Driver d = (Driver)enu.nextElement();
    if (d.getClass().toString().indexOf("my.Driver") > -1) {
    useThis = d;
    Mind that my above code does not have an performance issue. If you look into the source code of how DriverManager get a Driver for a particular URL, it also loads the whole set of available Drivers, then call acceptsURL() method on each of them to find the first "suitable" one. Thus time complexity is the same.
    I know this is not a very elegant solution and it defeats the purpose of having a DriverManager. Does any one else has a better way to solve this problem, like a way to specify the priority of each Driver so that SQLServerDriver is returned before the netscape Driver?
    Thanks a lot.

  • Strange problem with 2 different Soundblaster car

    I have a very strange problem with these 2 cards First i had soundblaster li've value which was installed with the default windows drivers. Although it'swas installed correctly in device manager, i hear no sound and when i go to control panel->sounds and audio devices, under the volume tab there?was no audio device and everything?was greyed. But when i restart or shutdown the pc the windows sound suitable for this action played without problems. Media player couldn't play any sound, neither youtube. I downloaded and installed the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG). Everything worked ok but after a while i had the same problem. So i decided to buy a different sound card, the Li've Audigy SE. Installed, worked fine, but after a short period of time i have the same problem. Most of the times when i boot into Windows the sound is ok, after a while (5 minutes or hour) i hear no sound and in the control panel i see the no audio device message although in control panel the card appears to be installed correctly. Any ideas?

    Yes, I agree.
    But my question: is there any software trick that I could use to fix the situation.
    For example, how can I ask 2 keyboards about each one's NumLock state ?
    I know about getLockingKeyState() function, but it always returns the NumState of the regular keyboard. How can I know and/or change the NumLock state of the small one ?
    Thanks

  • Strange problem with motherboard H67MA-E45(B3) =( please help

    Hi, I have a strange problem with my motherboard . I have a H67MA-E45 (B3) (MSI-7678) , when i try to update it ( http://www.pcbrain.it/images/stories/msi/H67MA-E45/bios/14.JPG ) , i choose the fourth option "Select one file to update bios" , but the bios did not recognize the update file (E7678IMS.1C0) into the Usb flash drive , but if i choose the second option (select one file to boot) the file is recognized. First I made a backup of the bios, and into the USB flash drive has been created a file called "E7678ICX.162" (my current update). Why the extension is IXC ?!? it should have been IMS ! . I tried changing the file extension "E7678IMS.1C0" (the new update) into "E7678ICX.1C0" and when i select the fourth option , the file is recognized! . Obviously I have not started the update , but if I proceed with the update, changed the name of the extension, is it safe? Or do damage?..please help me  :(
    P.S. Sorry for my bad bad and very poor english , i'm italian =)

    Still think there is a batch conflict or possibly a bad stick in the new sticks. Might test each new stick individually for a bad one. Again, the other solution for an 8BG kit may be the new Kingston HyperX PnP's. Could you post a screenshot of CPUID's CPU-Z Memory & SPD Tab for one of the new sticks?
    Added: Actually, screenshots of the old sticks Memory & SPD Tab may be of help too. It may be tRAS or tRFC differences between the two kits. Just speculation at this point though.

  • Downgrade to win7 problem with audio drivers. beats audio software for win7?

    I recently purchased the HP Envy 700-074 from best buy.  it was necessary to downgrade to windows 7 for some work software and I would like proper audio drivers/software for windows 7. Right now it seems to be detecting as Nvidia audio driver but in this case it doesnt allow my front panel audio ports to output audio. I would also like to have beats working. 
    here are the hardware ID's associated with the card
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10DE&DEV_001C&SUBSYS_38423619&REV_1001
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10DE&DEV_001C&SUBSYS_38423619
    and here's a quick screenshot of the driver that is associating with it right now..

    even those VEN_10DE's seem to associate to nvidia, but from HP the driver is meant to be IDT high definition audio? is something going on here? 
    the only change i've made to the computer is upgraded to an EVGA Nvidia GT 610 video card.,

    Hi, Paul.
    I have similar problem here.
    I bought HP Envy 810-200nr and I hate W8, so I installed Windows Server 2008 R2, which is my favourite.
    Then I solved numerous problems with chipset drivers and finally it all works, but Audio (IDT HD Audio) does not work.
    Completely silent.

    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_76C7&SUBSYS_103C2AF3
    It looks okay, when playing audio - indicator blinks and shows level, volume can be adjusted, all parametrers - speakers, etc seems okay but silent!
    I tried numerous drivers for W8 and W7 64 but they give "Incompatible version" error.
    Can you advise me what to do? I really want WS2008R2 here, but this audio is weird..

    I think 128MB was the bare mimimum when I did my laptop install but if your graphics card reserves any memory it may go below what it can work with in your case(I only have 192MB in my ancient toshiba laptop, I think I installed when I only had 128MB in it but I used an older Arch boot cd to install with).  I can't read your screen because of the glare/washout on the bottom, what is the install boot screen telling you.  Does your laptop have a vga out that you can hook up an external monitor to?  You might have to tell your bios to switch to the external vga out if the laptop doesn't automatically detect and switch.
    I haven't used a recent boot cd but I know that the current Arch kernels activate kms for radeons now on bootup, not sure if that boot cd is compiled with kms activated or not.  You can try adding radeon.modeset=0 to the end of the boot command line of the install boot entry on the cd.  That will not force kms to start and should leave you with vesa/vga screenmode to start the install with.

  • Problems with g580's brightness bar and Geforce 630m drivers.

    Hi,
    There is two problems with my Lenovo g580.
    The first - i can't install new drivers for my nVidia geforce gt 630m from official nvidia site. When i try to install it (301.42 last stable version), there is the message that install manager didn't find compatible hardware.
    The second - when i press fn+up/down keys, my brightness bar doesn't change. Only static picture, but brightness changes.
    Thank you.

    Did you try installing them from the lenovo site or the drivers in d drive? Do you have the stock drivers installed ? Is device manager sensing the graphic hardware? Do you have OEM install if windows? For the brightness problem ,it is ok for the windows brightness indicator to remain unchanged as lenovo energy management oversee it.

  • Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

    Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
    I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
    I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
    Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.

  • Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
    What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
    I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
    Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes  while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
