System Control Manager for GX710 under Vista x64?

OK So i purchased a GX710-250 about 3 months ago and iv been hooked on it . I just ordered the extended battery from etech4sale.com and i loaded up Vista Ultimate X64 on it. Everything working great on it as all the items have 64 bit drivers but i ran into a snag with the SCM software for it. I notice that That the SCM software is only 32X but there is SCM Out there under some other laptop that MSI so i wounder if i can run the software from it on my laptop. I really just need the Volume Control for in game but i would to have my little UGI flash up and show me whats going on. Has any one tried using the SCM from another laptops yet? was it compatible with the laptop? where there any issues? just throwing this out there since i don't think MSI would go back and rebuild the SCM for 64X Vista.
PS
Vista 64 is the future....get use to it. I love it and the Emu system built into it is good enough already.

o well i still got 2 years to get use to this system and all so i don't mine installing it on my pc...anyways when the time comes and sooner or later everyone will have to upgrade in some format... i just hope 7 will go up to 64 bit also. I've been on 64 for about a month now and I've seen no performance decrease but in fact seen performance improvement . My Friends and I see it its time for a generational leap in technology and have a windows system be only 64 bit. But knowing Microsoft they are going to make Vista and Windows 7 the transitional OS like they did back in the early 90 with windows 3.0 and 3.1. So i want to know whats going to be the Windows 95 of the 2000 and force a new 64x standard . I'm sure im going to keep my XP Cd until 2010 when they kill support for XP .

GX660 (i5) System Control Manager on XP 64 Bit

Hi all,
I bought a GX660 last week but I don't want to use it with Windows 7 64 bit so I installed Windows xp 64 Bit.
After having struggled to find any drivers for this operating system (especially graphics drivers) everything works fine except the famous "System Control Manager" which is installed without yet worries.
Thus I can not use the "Turbo" or "Eco" on the multimedia keypad, same for some functions that engages with the combination of "Fn" key (only features WiFi, Bluetooth work).
I like to know if there is a possibility to find a trick, a hack, so that the "System Control Manager" runs completely under this operating system as Windows 7.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Ghunner.

Thank Mark!!!
So I did some tests:
Under XP 32:
P1 Work
TouchPad Enable/Disable Work
Webcam Enable/Disable Work
Mode Sleep Work
LCD Brightness Increase/Decrease Don't Work
Eco Don't Work
Turbo Work
Volume Increase/Decrease Work
Volume Mute Work
Wirless LAN Work
Bluetooth Work
Cooler Boost Work
Under XP 64:
P1 Don't Work (I got the message: "Not compatible with your OS")
TouchPad Enable/Disable Work
Webcam Enable/Disable Work
Mode Sleep Work
LCD Brightness Increase/Decrease Don't Work
Eco Don't Work
Turbo Work
Volume Increase/Decrease Work
Volume Mute Work
Wirless LAN Work
Bluetooth Work
Cooler Boost Work
Now I need to know if the SCM v2.209.1204.006.01 (update 2010-01-26) is the last update for XP version or there is one that is newer?

S10 RAID configuration = AHCI = Blue Screen under Vista x64

I'm trying to setup a SATA RAID 1 configuration on my new S10 and it's really a nightmare...if I enable the Raid option in the BIOS it enables also the AHCI feature and my Vista x64 (pre-installed on the S10) don't boot, it just show me a blue screen that I don't even have the time to read. If I disable the AHCI option it's ok I can't boot again.
The question is simple, how can I achieve to install an updated AHCI driver for Vista x64 in order to boot and then use the RAID features of my S10 ?
I've tried do download the latest version of the IMSM from Intel (x64 vista version) but it does'nt want to install saying that I haven't the required configuration. My S10 uses an ICH 9 chipset, so I don't understant why I can't install this update.
Please what is the solution to have AHCI and RAID working on an S10 WITHOUT REINSTALLING Vista (I don't have any installation CD and don't wan't to) ???? Note that my system is up to date regarding the ThinkVantage drivers (and windows updates also)
Thanks by advance for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally achieve to configure AHCI under Vista x64 on my S10 (but still a problem with RAID..), here's how I did :
- Open registry, go to the Key \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci
- Set the DWORD "Start" at 0 (it was 4 on my system)
- Restart your computer then Enable immediatly the AHCI feature in the BIOS
- Vista will start without BSOD using it's default SATA AHCI driver. Let it detect & install your AHCI periphals before going to the next step
- Install the latest Lenovo IMSM update for S10 from here : http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-69984.html.
- Restart the computer it should boot without any blue screen, go to the Vista device manager and check that your IDE ATA/ATAPI controller is "Intel(R) ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller".
AHCI is active now, but RAID still doesn't work...here's what I did :
- I backup my main HDD with R&R (after having installed AHCI)
- I restart and enable the SATA RAID in the BIOS
- Restart again, CTRL+I to open IMSM and create my RAID 1 array (2x500GB) under the name "Volume0" (all parameters to default)
- Ok, raid array created, I now boot from my R&R emergency CD and restore my backup
- 3 hours later I reboot...and blue screen again just when Vista starts (seems to be the same BSOD than with AHCI)
- if I disable the RAID option in BIOS the (but let AHCI enabled) Vista boots again and everything seems fine, and it seems that my raid array is still configured for Windows since I see a Volume0 drive in the device manager. But RAID is disabled in the BIOS so what ?
I am lost, I spent 2 full days on these AHCI/RAID problems and nothing seems to work correctly. Each test on RAID configuration needs 3 hours of restoration. I am very dissapointed to see how RAID is complicated to configure on the S10, it's is exactly to avoid this kind of problem that I bought a "workstation" and it's a nightmare.
Hope you can help me, thanks.

System Control Manager on Mega 865 Pro

Hi,
I Have a Mega 865 Pro, I would list whats in it but do not consider that any of this would help.
The system has the System Control Manager software installed which allows for you to use the buttons on the front of the system within Windows XP, if the software is not installed or running then one of the problems is when you use the CD eject key the system will restart.
The software runs normally on my account where I'm an admin. However, if I have any other accounts running then the software will not run with the following message.
MGSYSCTRL
Detecting Model type failed!
You may not run this program correctly
Can anyone assist in making sure that I do not give my kids admin access under Windows XP?
Thanks
Rob

Update.
This has now been resolved by performing the following.
1, Download the bios update using the link below, the MSI update utility never reconised that there was a newer version of the bios available.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=602&kind=4
This fixed the reboot issues when using the eject cdrom button!!
2, The System Control Manager cannot be used under a non admin account, this was corrected by performing the following.
export from mthe registry, and then delete:-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MGSysCtrl"="C:\\Program Files\\MSI\\System Control Manager\\MGSysCtrl.exe"
And Change to:-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MGSysCtrl"="C:\\Program Files\\MSI\\System Control Manager\\MGSysCtrl.exe"
Then run the new on the Admin account only.
Hope this helps some of you!
Regards
Rob

X-fi platinum gives out only static noise under Vista x64

hello. I need some help getting x-fi to work under Vista x64.
the card works great under XP. no problems at all.
under Vista x64 drivers install fine. but the card only outputs very loud static sound. sometimes all the time, sometimes only when I try to play music. when I try to play audio the program usually freezes or acts like it takes much longer to play the sound. for example Vista speaker test shows speaker animation for much longer than normally.
switching to Audio Creation mode usually helps some, but still only static.
switching in Vista Sound->Recording devices causes a lot of static to be generated as soon as I switch to it (and nothing is being played).
sometimes there's no sound at all (programs act normally then).
I've tried all X-Fi drivers I could find (newest and older, including from X-Fi Vista CD) to the same result.
tried 5. speakers and connect to front panel.
tried installing drivers in safe mode. tried clearing old driver after driver un-install to reinstall the driver fresh.
if it wouldn't work under XP I?would have sent it back, bet seeing that it works fine there I can only guess that it has something to do with drivers.
any help would be appreciated. thank you.

if anyone experiences the same issue, reformatting HDD and reinstalling Vista from scratch solved tho problem.
I guess there was some conflict with the previous sound driver.

Quicktime 7.2 under Vista x64

I am using iTunes 7.3.1 under Vista x64 Ultimate with no issues. However, Quicktime 7.2 doesn't work very well.
When I open .mp4 vidoes which run fine under Windows Media Player, Quicktime Player seems to stubmle.
I get the following errors:
-The video screen turns green
-Video stutters
-Audio seems to play ok
I am running on an AMD 3800 x2 with nVidia 7900GTO video card (using latest WHQL video drivers from nVidia).
Are there known issues with Quicktime with Vista x64?

I have the same issue with QT running on Vista. The new version of QT that just came only made things worse!!! Now the tv shows I purchased from iTunes shuts iTunes down when I try to view them. At first, I was getting the green screen, video stuttering, etc.
I tried ALL the recommended fixes:
- Changing the settings in QT to take off Direct3D
- changing the settings in QT to "safe mode"
- Updating my Nvidia graphics card driver
- Going into my bios to ensure my hard drive was not using the RAID array
- Uninstalling QT and reinstalling
This is DEFINITELY a QT (Apple) issue. They simply do not support Vista. I have already stopped purchasing video media on iTunes until QT is updated to run smoothly with Vista.
All that to say... you can search discussion boards all you want, but there is no real fix for QT to run smooth video (audio is OK) in Vista.

(D20) Marvell SAS/SATA Controller Utility under Vista X64

Dear All,
I am the new user for Lenovo workstation. recently I bought D20 for my work. I use the Vista X64 as my O.S. for D20 and I also setup the RAID5 under Marvell SAS Storage Controller.
Everything running well presently, but I can not find the Marvell SAS/SATA Storage Controller utility to monitor the RAID volume under Vista x64 ?
Can you advise me where I can find it or how I can monitor the RAID volume under Vista X64 ?
Thanks,
Cody.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

cody,
currently that's the only version available that i could find and the only one listed on the D20 driver matrix page.
all you can do is try installing it in vista and see if it works. most likely it will.

Msi gt683dx vs system control manager WIN8 problem

Hi I have problem whit new version of System control manager (SCM) 10_013_03016 , when I go to control panel option in application it randomly active/deactive Bluetooth, it so annoying so I must to exit application...But can't see now icon when is something activate anymore ! And P1 option not working is this supported in WIN8 ? Help please . Thanks

Hi,
I just bought used MSI GT683DX with Win 7 preinstalled on it. As i own 2x SSD disks and Windows 8 Pro licence from MSDNAA i've installed Windows 8.1 PRO, installed all drivers and utilities from MSI web support page, and i have same problem - when SCM is active, Bluetooth turns on and off automaticly just one by one, like 2 seconds and it is on, another 2 seconds and it is off, without touching it. When i uninstall SCM, WiFi and Bluetooth buttons work property, so it is not hardware-related problem, just software.
I've installed SCM from link you posted today, yesterday ive made BIOS update to .30Z, and did EC reset. Problem is still here. When i put original 500GB hdd with win7 on it installed from sticker on notebook, everything works fine.
Also, P1 button is not working, and i dont have P1 config when i press RMB on SCM...
Any other suggestions, links or what else should i do?

Losing serial numbers under Vista x64/Boot Camp

I have Vista x64 installed under Leopard 10.5.2 under Bootcamp (running fine). I installed a 64-bit version of an animation program that required that I enter a bunch of serial numbers for its various modules. The app ran fine after I finished. But when I exited out to Mac OS and later came back into Vista, all the serials were gone and I had to enter them again. This is repeatable. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks much.

GX660 System Control Manager problem(Brightness)

Hi again
I have problem with my MSI GX660. I have Windows 8.1. Unfortunately System Control Managaer doesn't work for me.
Turbo, Volume and WIFI works, but I can't change brightness. I try change it in Windows 8 options but still doesn't work for me
Level on bar is change but on screen nothing happens
please help me
I have ATI drivers 14.1
PS. modes like ECO, Office, Movie etc. also doesn't work

The fact that MSI has no posted any drivers for the GX660 for Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, it means that it is not supported for updating to Windows 8 or 8.1. In that case, you're pretty much on your own as far as getting the system to work. We can attempt to give you suggestions, but without MSI providing any drivers, most likely SCM won't work.
The only thing I could suggest trying, might be to grab the SCM from the GX60 (one of the older revisions) for Windows 8 or 8.1 and hope that it works. *NOTE:This is just something I can suggest to try. I by no way take no responsibility for what it might do to your system, nor does MSI*

System Control Manager & Vista

Does anyone know if MSI have a version (or are working on one) of SCM that is compatible with Windows Vista

as Vista is still at Beta stage, there probably won't be a version until its release, by which time the 865PRO will have been discontinued and replaced.
you would have to ask MSI about it. if there is enough demand from 865PRO users, then they might make a version available.
How to contact MSI.
