Vista - Samsung 226BW with 8800GTS - Magictune doesn't work

SAMSUNG’s Digital World - Monitor / Awards

works for my 216bw

What I was saying in my original post was that it all worked well when I ran Windows XP. Now that I've upgraded to Vista x64 it doesn't work when I use the 64-bit version of the software (still the same monitor).

Oh well, I'll put it down to a combination of Vista x64 and the 64-bit version not supportingthe same monitors as the older XP 32-bit version of Magictune.

Are you using a Windows XP x64 application? Because is it (apparently) different from the Vista x64 application...

Nah, using the Vista 64 bit version

I am using vista 64, with a samsung 226bw. anybody know where to get vista drivers for this? the software that came with the 226 is only for xp

Hi Panzer,

You can get the driver here. The latest version is 1.0. Just click on the icon under File to download it. I'm not sure if Vista means for both the 32 bit and 64 bit or not since they have XP and XP64 listed too. You can give it a try and see with the Vista or XP64 one.

download center SAMSUNG

Hope this helps,

Hi. I have a 226BW and am running Vista 64x. I tried all sorts of things to get this Magictune but it just doesn't seem to work in 64 bit.
Over the last few days MS Update tried to download an update for Samsung 226BW but it failed. I've tried to do it manually but cannot so I don't know what difference it might have made.
On the other hand. The drivers that Vista found automatically make it look fantastic, great colour and definition etc.
I can't think that Magictune could improve on it so I stopped worrying about it months ago and just enjoy this great monitor. John

The software on the CD that came with my 2 Samsung T240 monitors did not work under Vista 64-bit... But on their website, you can download the Vista 64-bit versions (The CD contained working Vista 64-bit drivers though):

.... but did it work? I tried the 64 bit version from the web site and it didn't. Did you have any luck?

You're totally right, Magic Tune does not work. I'm glad the buttons on the side of the T240 have the magic tunes functions (Gaming, Internet, etc.).
