= fubar. I had this VFD working ages ago, but can't remember what software I used. Anyway, I thought I'd use Smartie, as I've used it before, but when I load it, this happens: Tried copying the supplied DLPORTIO.DLL but no joy. Also Googling to no avail. Sorry for being a n00b. Hwu
Is that the latest smartie? I had some similar problems with a .0 release of it, but it got fixed and I heard the the latest one was b0rked again too.
It does that on mine when I run Motherboard Monitor. Just check you've not got something running like that. That may help you out.
jaLCD looks *very* good. Unfortunately, it has the same problem, only less severe than Smartie's. I have nothing of similar nature running in the background.
Sounds like something else causing you problems. I keep both jaLCDs & Smartie up to date and have never had peoblems with either. Maybe I'm just special
Had this problem a few times, reinstalling a few times always seems to sort it... Smartie is a bit rubbish though, you wouldn't catch me using it Rob.
You MUST install the I/O port driver if you are using 95/NT/2000 or XP. (Here is the link). Hope it helps.... GeeK!
Excellent mate, thank you very much! So, no more errors. But both Smartie and jaLCD just make it either blink a box in the middle, or just spew random garbage I'll look at the configuration, or I suppose a wire could've come loose somewhere with it being chucked around in my 'spares box' <EdiT> Looks something like this:
