    Hi,

    I have problems with MePo since I'm using a USB to RS232 converter for my Samsung 20L203DA5 VFD Display. The converter is based on a FTDI FT232RL chip.
    Normally the converter and VFD are running fine but when resuming from standby sometimes the VFD stays black but MePo works fine and doesn't show any error.

    Interestingly MePo cannot be stopped then, when exiting MePo the task is still running and killing the process does also nothing. I have to reboot the HTPC to get it working again.

    I'm wondering if this is a driver issue because the converter is visible in the device manager and doesn't show any error.
    I have tried to set the MePo resume delay to 5 seconds but it didn't help.
    The drivers of the converter are the newest: Virtual COM Port Drivers

    What can i do to nail the problem down?
