Win XP doesn't detect video adaptor

Hello,
Win XP Professional
MSI Mainboard MS-6380
VGA Card GForce 4
Has anybody a clue what might have happened (and hopefully how to fix it) when the system info does NOT detect any adaptor for my grafic card or the screen. As it is I cannot use the power of my video card (for example more than 16 bit depth in high resolutions) and cannot update any drivers. When checking Control panel -> Sýstem for the card it's not represented at all.
My MSN Live Monitor tells me that I have the correct BIOS (Live and Live VGA), the correct VIA Chipset drivers (but an old Realtek AC97 Audio driver (but doesn't matter to me?), the nVidia driver is reported as "unknown". I've downloaded the newest correct drivers and used the setup to install, but it doesn't reflekt any adapter and I still cannot use my card in full.
Maybe a dizzy quest, but please ask me more if it helps to give me useful info. I've already checked the card in the slot and it seems right. And MSI Live Monitor seems to "know" what card I'm using.
I've now tried everything and it still fails. I would be most greatful for any help.

[Z87 MPOWER] Monitor doesn't detect Video. LED-POST switches between numbers

Hey folks!
I build my first PC yesterday and sadly I came over a seemingly unsolvable problem. I made a test-run with the Motherboard on the box, GPU, PGU, RAM, CPU+Cooler. I started it and everything worked fine, but the Monitor doesn't detect graphic input! It detects the cable I uses (HDMI and AVG) AND that I plugged it into a PC, but it just switches into sleeping mode as soon as I start the PC! (The Monitor works fine on my laptop).
Now I removed the GPU and used the onboard graphics with HDMI connection - the same problem! Now, I only have one 8GB-RAM stick, and I switched it between all 4 slots just to be sure - nothing. I double-checked the two PGU cables I have connected (8pin and 24pin ATX) - everything seems fine!
I just can't find the problem and its driving me insane! The only thing that says that something might be wrong is this little LED thing on the mb, it switches between 10 / 19 / 15(I think, its to fast to see!) / 55 endless! That's definitely not normal is it?
Is someone able to help me? I don't want anything more right now than getting this working.
SPECS:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

PGU: SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Also if nothing works, can someone tell me what part might be the fault, so I can switch it in?
THANK YOU!

You may be able to repair this.
Remove the cpu and inspect the socket with a bright light and magnifier.
Fine the culprit pin and straighten it if possible. If not just RMA the board.

[SOLVED] CUPS doesn't detect USB Samsung ML-2010 printer

Hi. I only speak a little English. Sorry for that.
I have got an USB Samsung ML-2010 printer. Before I used cups-usblp from AUR, and it worked. But it doesn't work now. The cups-usblp maintainer suggests to use cups instead of cups-usblp. Searching with google, it appears that other people don't have problems with this printer, cups, and archlinux. But I do. Cups' web interface doesn't detect it.
Well, this is how are the things now:

I open http://localhost:631 in my browser, click "add new printer" and I get just "Serial printer #1"
at "local printers". There isn't my printer. I use KDE, and KDE's tool for adding printers doesn's detect it either.
I miss archlinux, but I need to print.
What may be wrong? What may be I am missing?
Thanks a lot for your comments and help.

Solved!
Restarting cupsd didn't work.
But reinstalling cups...
$ sudo pacman -Rdc cups (it is a dependency of kdeadmin-system-config-printer-kde which I had installed)
$ sudo rm -r /etc/cups/*
I realize cupsd is already running:
$ ps aux | grep cupsd
root 1549 0.0 0.1 75548 4080 ? Ss 21:04 0:00 cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
felipe 1690 0.0 0.0 8416 1028 pts/1 S+ 21:13 0:00 grep cups
I kill it
$ sudo -SIGKILL 1549
$ ps aux | grep cupsd
felipe 1694 0.0 0.0 8416 1024 pts/1 S+ 21:13 0:00 grep cups
Ok. Reinstall cups
$ sudo pacman -S cups
Start cups daemon:
$ sudo rc.d start cupsd
Open firefox. Go to web interface, bla, bla, bla.... And it's there!
I feel really silly. It was a fresh install, so I didn't think about reinstalling.
Printed some jobs and worked perfectly. I used the gutenprint driver.
Thanks a lot, pyther. I thought yours wasn't a very useful suggestion, but it really was. I'm so happy. I owe you.

DVI to video adaptor question

I am new the Apple world but am thinking of buying a Mac mini as a music and photo server. I will use it mainly via a TV with the remote control and Front Row. I am in the UK and have a CRT Panasonic (28" wide) with SCART connections. I also have a Sony home cinema amp which is a couple of years old. I have read that screen resolution and quality is poor when using the DVI to video adaptor but am wondering what people's experience is when using it for Front Row only? I am hoping to find a remote control solution to use the Mac through my Windows laptop for normal Mac computing..

I've been thinking of MacMini for the same purpose and have been testing s-video output on my PowerBook G4 1.67.
Using the resolution 1024x576 gives anamorphic widescreen image to my sony 28" tube TV and I was able to browse internet and write forum entries without much trouble from 2 meter distance (around 7 ft).
Ofcourse the image is not as sharp as you'd get with a LCD, but it's a lot better than one might think. There was a checkbox saying "optimize for video" or something which seemed to sharpen the image a little. It helped getting smaller text readable.
Anyway, after seeing frontrow on a LCD display and now PowerBook's 1024x576 on a TV screen (I don't have front row on the PB), I'm sure It's more than good for that application.
Actually I didn't really find much difference between watching DVD from a DVD player or from the powerbook, when they were both connected with s-video

DVI to Video Adaptor not reliable.

I received my DVI to Video Adaptor (s-video and composite) today. The first boot up was to no video, a couple restarts later and the login screen was up. I used the mini for a couple hours with the composite video and my tv and then turned it off. I came back later to again no video and after a few more power cycles... needless to say I have the mini hooked back up to a VGA display.
Has anyone had any problems with this adaptor? Any advice as to how to get it to reliably display video?
Thanks.

Does the image seem to triplicate across the screen and jump around with all kinds of distortions? If so it appears you may have the same problem many iBook users were having...
squeeb, "Composit/S-video output adapter Will not work", 08:21am Mar 5, 2004 CDT
You can take the time to read through all those posts, but the news isn't good I'm afraid. It's something to do with the mac thinking the TV is a VGA monitor, so sends out the wrong signal (nobody really knows, Apple never acknowledged the problem). The only person to have fixed it had to have his logic board replaced!
That was an iBook though, this may be different to your problem (you hope).
I certainly hope! I was planning to get a mac mini soon to setup a kind of media center. I was one of the unlucky ones with the iBook problem, so this is very bad news if the Mac minis are having the same problem!
Good luck! Keep us posted if you make any progress.

DVI to s-video/ composite Video Adaptors- diff b/w 2 Apple products?

I am trying to get information regarding the difference between 2
Apple display accessories.
- Apple PAL DVI to Video Adaptor -Apple part number MA026ZM/A
- Apple DVI to Video Adaptor -Apple part number M9267G/A
The second is not just an NTSC version of the first, in that it
supports both PAL and NTSC - and apparently the Pin outs are
different for both. I am trying to work out which will give a better
result for PAL video output (interlace timings etc). Kbase articles
just say that M9267G/A supports both NTSC and PAL and that MA026ZM/A
supports PAL. It seems strange that the PAL item exists if the other
adaptor supports PAL also ? Apple Australia say they don't know.
thoughts ? thanks in advance

Apple's video adapters have a ROM chip inside them with EDID data contained within the ROM. That is one thing that will definitely be different between the two. The NTSC and PAL version (M9267G/A) gives priority to NTSC. This could cause problems in a PAL country. If you hooked a PAL TV up using this adapter, you might get a rolling (non-synced) screen and you'd have no good way to recover since the image on the screen would be unusable.
I don't think one adapter would have any advantage over the other in terms of PAL picture quality. It would just be a question of compatibility as outlined above. That's my best guess.

No movie playback with video adaptor

OK, here's a poser...
Setting up my Macbook as a temporary AppleTV. Front Row is working perfectly, streaming shared content from my desktop. So long as I am viewing on the Macbook's screen, everything is as it should be.
Here's the problem. I connect the Macbook to my TV set, using a Mini DVI-Video adaptor. Everything works fine - music, DVD, photos - except for Movies. They appear in the list, but the preview window to the left of their names is black. If I play them, the audio plays, but no video, just a black screen.
I know it's not a codec issue, because as I said, they work fine on the laptop screen. I have also fiddled with display properties, changing the refresh rate, screen resolution and colour profile, all with no effect.
Any ideas?

Yes, it's mirrored. As I said, front row is working perfectly...except for the videos. The interface does exactly what is should, but neither the video previews, nor the videos themselves play properly - it's sound only. And again, it's only on the TV that this happens. When viewing on the screen, they play fine.

Mini DVI - DVI to DVI - S-video adaptors

I want to connect my new Macbook with an older TV with SCART input.
I guessed a Mini-DVI<->DVI hooked up to a DVI<->S-video adaptor, finally connecting a s-video to Scart cable, would solve this.
I bought the two first adaptors from Apple, but the DVI:s wont fit!? They seem to be right looking at them, since one of them is male and the other one is female...
Please help.

Apple DVI to Video Adaptor - The two available and which to buy...

Hi there,
I have a Mac Mini and i'm interested in getting a Apple DVI to Video adaptor.
I have noticed there are two available, one of which is PAL.
Does this mean that on the other one, it is NTSC, and only that? and that the PAL one is only PAL?
Since im in the UK, my TV is PAL.
Assistance is greatly appreciated,
Many thanks,
James

That is correct. The adapter triggers the Mac to either put out 50Hz PAL compatible video or 60Hz NTSC compatilble video. You can override this behavior, but only with a third-party application like DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X. You might as well just get the PAL one in your case.

DVI To Video Adaptor questions

Hello there,
I just purchased the DVI to Video Adaptor and received it in the mail today. I am trying to figure out what is required to hook it up to the tv and as I understand I need an RCA adaptor to connect from the headphone input but I am not sure what cable to get for video. I am not sure if I should get an s-video cable or what cable I should get for the yellow adaptor on the connector. The set up is a little weird since it is in my dorm room so if you could let me know if my proposed set up would work that would be great.
For sound I was going to purchase a 50ft 3.5 mm headphone extension (http://tinyurl.com/yjyexq7), and then connecting an RCA adaptor from that to the TV (http://tinyurl.com/yjhgn5j). If you could help me with any ideas about what to do with the video and which option you feel is best that would be great.
Thanks!

What kind of audio and video inputs does your TV have? If you only have composite video (yellow RCA jack) and left/right audio RCA jacks, you only need one RCA to RCA composite video cable of proper length for the picture, plus the audio cable from the MBP headphone jack to the TV audio inputs.
If your TV has an S-Video input, buy an S-video to S-video cable instead of the composite cable. The quality is slightly better with S-Video.
The picture with this setup is pretty low-fi by today's standards. I also assume you bought the DVI to composite+S-video adapter.
If you have a flat panel TV with DVI, HDMI, or SVGA inputs, use one of those.

Apple DVI to Video Adaptor

Hi there,
When using Final Cut Pro, I currently use a TV (connected through my DV camcorder) to view my output, since the quality of the image presented on the 'canvas' window on my MacBook Pro cannot be relied upon. Can anyone tell me whether I could just connect the TV to the MacBook Pro via the Apple DVI to Video Adaptor to achieve the same monitor capability, but without having to go through the camcorder?
Many thanks,

If you need a way to free up your camera, there are plenty of reasonably priced converters out there to do the same thing. Canopus make a few.

Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

How can I print from iPad to a Brother printer with a TP-link tl-wps510u connected to it without using a computer? It doesn't detect the printer.

I have a Brother printer that doesn't have wifi, but I bought a Wireless Server Print to connect to it. I want the iPad can print directly to the printer without using a computer, but the iPad doesn't detect the printer. Is that possible?

javigomez88 wrote:
I know that Brother has an app that works with its wireless printers, even if they are not airprint. My printer isn't wireless, is a wireless print server attached to the printer what is able to make this printer wireless. Could this app be a solution or only would work with the wireless Brother printers?
The Apps usually only work with wireless printers, though if its free, there is no harm in trying, and see if it gets picked up, but its doubtful, as the print server would need to transmit in the same protocol the Brother Print App is expecting from the supported wireless printers.

I need a DVI to RCA video adaptor that works!

I need to buy a DVI to RCA composite video adaptor for a Powerbook G4 15 inch.
I purchased one from the local Apple Store a few weeks back, and all I get from it is a non-synchronous/grey-squiggly image.
I have been told that the current new adaptor (Apple DVI to Video Adapter) only works with Macbooks with the Intel processor. Is that true?
Where can I get one that works???

The specifications here:
http://support.apple.com/specs/powerbook/PowerBookG4_15-inch_1_67-15GHz.html
Under Video accessories say that an "S-video to composite adapter" and "DVI to VGA adapter" were included if you bought it new. NTSC Composite Video is the one that uses the RCA jack, and will show up on a TV set or a VCR. It looks like someone at the Apple store was trying too hard. Ask for the 922-3421 (black) or 922-4200 (ice) described and pictured in this document:
33001- Monitor and Display Adapter Table
Note that the adapter pictured has a Female RCA jack, and you may need a male-to-male patch cord to complete the circuit to the TV or VCR.
If what you really want is 15-pin VGA, there are some other things to try, depending on what your display/record device is, and what its capabilities are.
