    I was hoping that anyone that has the Thermaltake DH-101 case might be able to post their working setup into the Cyberdisplay\Minidisplay sticky forum. I'm having a helluva time getting mine to work continously. Sometimes it comes up and then when I switch menus it crashes and goes black, but most of the time it doesn't come up at all. Anyone with a suggestion to get it working or screenshots of their working config with the case would be wonderful. Thanks to anyone that can help.

    i've got the DH101 too and here it is working without any problems at all.
    i have the newest version installed (internal updater) + activated the minidisplay plugin (imon driver), set it to autodect and it worked from day one.

    Do you have Frontview to start always, never, or automatic? Did you do anything in the advanced options of minidisplay? Would ya mind posting screenshots of your setup? Cause, I've tried that, and still no dice.....ya runnin XP or Vista? Thanks for whatever ya can provide.

    I have the same htpc case with Imon Manager version 7.40.0806.
    I installed mini display and after configured type to Soundgraph Imon Usb Vfd/Lcd Plugin V12_01_2008 the test was OK. But in Mediaportal enviroment it only displays the word "HOME" unless I play a media file. Only in Moving Pictures it displays the movie title while scrolling.
    Is there a way to display the position in "Music" in order to use it without turning my tv on?
    Thanks

    Long time ago i was told to use imon manager v. 6.2. Have been using this and working fine. Remember to set your setting right. Btw. a newer version is out from 3. marts

    The imon version is found on your install cd. The new version of the driver is found in MP 1.0.1, you can find this on the frontpage. Try to change your settings before reinstalling the old imon manager. Maybe these settings will do the trick.

    I'm still using MP 1.0 cause I didn't had the free time to check the new version
    Thanks I'll report the results later.

    I' am also using the version from 3. March 2009 and it works fine from the first day. It's important to set the Display type to "Auto detect". Otherwise it won't work within Mediaportal.

    Sorry for Offtopic - I still try to find out how to display the time when my Computer is off. Do anybody know a solution for this?

    Czech: I had it working some time ago. "Turn OFF display on exit" should not be ticked and the rest of the settings should be as those i posted above.

    And i'm using hibernate under vista.

    Edit: Checked it ago today. And still worked.
