Windows 7 Tests - The bright side

Good news!
Smartie 5.4 runs fine under Microsoft's new OS (Windows 7).

I have successfully tested three different connection types on Windows 7 Beta(32bit), USB - Serial - Parallel.
Since windows 7 is based on Vista driver architecture this is quite normal.

I'd like to report that it works for me with a parallel LCD in 64-bit Windows 7. I just followed the steps for 64-bit Vista here.

For me the parallel connection works flawlessly... I'm using windows 7 32bits...

I'm running Windows 7 RC till Oct. 22nd. I was running Windows XP home. LCD Smartie worked with XP, but I can't get it up and going with 7. Need a link.

you have to run it as an administrator. (as in RMB on LCDSmartie and Run this as an administrator)

Okay, I'm lost. I can build a computer, but I have no idea when it comes to stuff like that.

I'm going to install Win 7 64bit Home Premium. I have a CrystalFontz 632 LCD but its USB. I'm guessing the 5.4.1 drivers will work under Win 7 64bit with no problems?

Thanks

I can't get stats for my network adapter in win7.

est is el impossible!

another thing i'd want "fixed" is the cpu temp and fanspeed stuff integrated into lcdsmartie, since MBM wont work on win7

I'm using windows 7 32bit with four instances of LCD Smartie running without any problem. Please provide more info about your problem. What kind of connection are you using?

Works great on Win7 64 bit + PCI Parallel Card + Inpout32.dll from logix4u.
Thanks.

Has anyone had any luck getting LCD Smartie to work with Windows 7 x64 and an iMON VFD (imond.dll)?

The iMon software and the display work fine, so I know the driver and what not work, but when I try to launch LCD Smartie it says: "Failed to open device: DLL Initialize error: IMOND.DLL: Display not found."

Any ideas?

These VFD are a real pain to get working, and commands to make drivers for them are not documented.
If you cant find any answers by searching the forums then there are very small chances to get it working.

That's depressing, the default iMon app really sucks. Is there anyone else who makes a similar app for such displays? I haven't been able to find anything via Google.

Hi

I have succesfully tested the Serial and Parralel interfaces on Windows 7 32bit
and also the Serial LCDs from crystal fontz on windows 7 64bit, without running extra software like port95n, or anything like that

Regards
