[QUOTE="stdly, post: 523267, member: 72895"] I Had VFD troubles. I bought the case from the manufacturer’s site [url=http://www.dvinehtpc.com/home-theatre-pc-cases/mce303-silver-case-w/-usb-vfd/flypage.tpl.html]MCE303 Silver HTPC Case | Home Theatre PC Cases | D-Vine HTPC[/url]. $79 with remote and VFD display. I installed the driver found here [url=http://www.dvinehtpc.com/mce3xx-series-downloads/view-category.html]view-category | mce3xx-series-downloads[/url] then shutdown and plugged in the USB connection for the display and rebooted. The display worked right away with the default message. I then set up Minidisplay with the (LCDHYPE 04_22_08) IRTrans LCD/VFD Driver v1.0 I also set the port to usb and left the rest as default. I left the advanced setting at default as well the display changed right away after closing MP configuration and opening MP. I could not get the VFD display to work correctly though. It would display the default message (which can be edited to whatever you like) and when I open Mediaportal it would display "Welcome to Mediacenter" and nothing else no matter what button or screen I was on. I searched and read these forums for 6-8 hours and still no luck. But a couple of hints here and there kept me trying. Well I have it working now. I went back into the Minidisplay with the (LCDHYPE 04_22_08) IRTrans LCD/VFD Driver v1.0 I still set and changed the port to localhost (A hint I found by chance) but still the same problem only a default message and Welcome to Mediacenter when I opened MP. I opened the IRTrans GUI client to take another look and saw the IP address setting I set it to localhost and still no luck. I went back into IRTrans GUI client and clicked mode and then IP address and entered the IP of my computer (192,168,1.xxx) closed the IRTrans GUI opened MP and wa-la full display YA BABY! This process may be common knowledge around here but I could not find it. Hope this helps someone else and make sure you have all low profile PCIe and PCI cards or riser cables and a plan.;) [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 1.0.2 [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: BleazeWide [b]Windows Version[/b]: Vista Ultimate SP1 [b]CPU Type[/b]: Intel 2200x2 [b]HDD[/b]: 1000 GB / 1000 GB / 500 GB Sata [b]Memory[/b]: 2 gig OCZ [b]Motherboard[/b]: Asus P5GC-MX/1333 [b]Video Card[/b]: ATI 4350HD [b]Video Card Driver[/b]: newest ATI [b]Sound Card[/b]: Realtek on board [b]Sound Card AC3[/b]: [b]Sound Card Driver[/b]: [b]1.
