Managed to find it but it was hidden within something else and called OSD before installation which is probably why I couldn't find it.   If it helps anyone else I think it was in the 03. VGA drivers install and loads into 'Program Files/MSI/OSD Hot Keys /CtrlColor.exe'. Even then in taskbar it shows as LED Tray. The only time it shows as LED Control is in the screen icon.   PC's now full of the old junk I never used and just have to work out why the screen turns off after a few minutes, even though it's selected as never and I think I'm there. Well it's working anyway, 🤣   Thanks everyone for the help. 👍 ... Meer weergeven

Great. Thanks for the info on that, at least I now know what I'm looking for.   Problem now is I've installed everything I can from original disks and still do not have the 'LED Control' software installed. Can somebody please point me in the right direction on where this would be as in what disk or software. Failing is this anywhere on the downloads page as there are things I am seeing like 'Seatools' that I've not seen on any disk?   Thanks ... Meer weergeven

So to be clear it's Win7 I'm installing and all drives are 3.5" SATA.   After a fault with the original drive I upgraded to a WD 1tb SATA. This started getting unreliable and begun having start up problems so I put in a new identical disk and was running that. After a while this started having the same problems and I noticed there was clock issues so I changed the CMOS battery. Since changing it I've not been able to start Windows.   The 250gb SATA drive I tried earlier that couldn't be recognised may be my fault. I've not put it in an external drive to have a look at it yet but it's possible I formatted it without allocating a drive letter so I won't worry about that for now.   Have fitted a 500gb SATA drive and have managed to get windows installed on that so the PC is up and running. Starts on it's own without having to go into F8 at the moment so all good.   What I don't understand is that the 1tb SATA drive that I took out (second one) will not work in an external drive. If I open it in computer management the partitions are there and recognised but in explorer there's nothing. This makes me think there drive is shot but then how could windows do a repair or try to install on it if it isn't readable??   This PC just eats through drives and i rarely use it. ...

This is really bugging me now as I've wasted hours on this and need the PC to be getting on with work.   Have pulled the drive out and installed a 250gb one which has been wiped and formatted. It's getting recognised in the bios but when I try to install Windows there's no drive there?!?! I've had this before where I've forgotten to format it but it is still recognised and gives you the option during install to format it.   Is this an issue within BIOS?? Can anyone explain what's happening??   ... Meer weergeven

  Problem was I hardly used it so that probably hasn't helped.   Do you know where I can get a copy or update of the BIOS? Is it on this site anywhere as can only see drivers on the specific page. Going to refresh/update that first and see if that works. If not I'll try a different drive but I'm pretty sure it's not the drive as if I boot from flash it's ready to install windows again and from disk and flash I can run repair so to me it's reading it just some conflict between BIOS and disk. ...

I can start it in safe mode and run a repair which I've done numerous times but it says everything is ok. I've run repair from a fob as well and it flies through and says everything is ok and given it used to do this all the time before I'm convinced the problem isn't with windows but the BIOS.   I'd like to understand why it is not recognising the drive for what it is, that may well be a problem worth eliminating.   Could the BIOS be corrupt? Is there an update or can it be reinstalled?   Thanks for the advice. As I say I've spent 3 days on this now and much of the basic stuff I've already tried. ... Meer weergeven

So I'm back with problems on this machine which I never managed to fully resolve.   Machine was temperamental and I finally got around to changing the battery and clearing CMOS. Reset to default in BIOS and set time and date but still the same problem.   Rarely it would boot to windows on it's own. It will go through initial startup and then when it should go to windows it's either just a black screen with cursor or say no operating system found. If I then restart, F8 and select drive to boot from it was always fine. Now since changing the battery when it starts windows and the logo comes up it flashes a blue screen and restarts. I've been on this a few days now and have noticed the BIOS doesn't seem to retain the date and time but I've tested the battery and it is good. Also the hard disk is coming up as HDD...... when it used to say SATA..... which it did before. When it comes up as HDD is when it seems to not start. I can see no option to change it in BIOS as it only recognises it as HDD.   I pretty sure it's not windows as it's done this for years now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Also it done the same with a previous drive and I brought a new exactly the same and reinstalled windows which worked a few times and the same thing happened. When I could get it to start before I changed the battery the time was all wrong in windows so had reset that which I was hoping new battery would sort however this has just caused this new problem. REALLY desperate now as a problem has arisen and all the files I need are on it and it's the only machine connected to printer. I really just think it's more to do with the BIOS than the drive and my experience with that is limited.   Sorry for the long post but I'm trying to include as much information as possible and any help will be appreciated. As stated I'm pretty desperate now and as an 'older person' not as savvy on these things as some of you wizzkids 🙂 ... Meer weergeven

Still running Win7 from the original discs although recently wiped and reinstalled. Also computer is really slow, is there any way to access and clean inside, like vents and fan? ... Meer weergeven
