hi again,

is there any jumper settings i can change so when i restart the PC the blinking cursor doesn't come back?? i keep having to turn it off with the software.

sorry, i have just turned the blinking sursor off and now it works fine.

thanks for your help!!

i havent turned off the blinking sursor.
should i?

i am using windows XP Pro Build 2600


The only thing that was in the line is the text. I made sure nothing else was loaded.

I will try another PC.

The virtual screen is ok.

When i press start on LCDC it goes funny, soon as i press stop it goes ok.
I have tried to catch the screen here.

Could someone please help?

I just bought the VFD yesterday, i followed the instructions exactly.
I am using LCDC.

When i use the option test display it is fine, it displays the text fine.

But when i do anything inside the program like just scrolling text i see full blocks go across the screen ...
