[QUOTE="Edwood, post: 305715, member: 82602"] OK folks... I've had an interesting experience... I unplugged the cables from the VFD at the motherboard - ie. where they plug into the USB 'ports'. I booted up with everything unplugged, and surprise surprise!!! I got the 'plugin' option! (plugin option in iMON frontview) I plugged everything back in, and sadly, my plugin option was gone again :(. I tried playing around with the way things were plugged in (on the mobo), but no joy. I completed the config, as per the guide, while the VFD was unplugged, and had some interesting results... If I configure MP to use the external display, the display will freeze when I run MP. Upon investigation, it appears that iMON has switched the FrontView to 'never'. This is repeatable, and will happen whenever I run MP with the external display configured. I could take my machine back to the shop, and see if there is a cabling mismatch at the VFD side, but it sounds like maybe it's related to the VFD firmware? Am I up the creek for now? Perhaps so... I will unconfigure MP-external-display for now, and go back to working on getting my Harmony remote working... [I]<edit - removed double-post>[/I] [/QUOTE]
