I didn't think of commenting that part, but i will now so anyone else doesn't get stuck on that.

Macro-thanks for the feedback, the next version will hopefully be fully compatible with VFDs. I'm working on the keypad GPO control you mentioned before, that was a good idea.

I can't wait to see it

linear...where are youuuuu....???

I'm in the basement, gluing acrylic....

But I did d/l this while waiting for some adhesive to cure. Worked good for me, but the degree symbol is not showing correctly on my LCD, and the fonts in the config screen are too big (1280x1024, small fonts) and wrap around weirdly.

About the degree symbol: Did you have the LCD plugged in when you started the program? I define the custom characters when the program starts.

The GUI looks all messed up on that screenshot, the font is bigger than it is supposed to be. I've tried to recreate that but had no success, i set windows to use extra large fonts but i still have the same font size in LCDstats.

1) The degree symbol is working now
2) Yes I had the LCD running when I started the prog
3) I'm running Win98SE, ATI All-in-Wonder Pro 4MB PCI, in 1024x768x32, small fonts, 96dpi (I have antique hardware, it's true

)

New version is now finished.
This is what's new:
-I forgot 2X40 display support in the last version, it's included in this one.
-When in 2 line mode screens are divided in two instead of ignoring the 3rd and 4th line like it did in the prior version.
-VFD blinking cursor fixed. (i haven't tested it myself but it should work)
-GPOs can be controlled by keypad.
-Added dual CPU monitoring and ability to set names for CPU loads, CPU speed and mem load just like the temps, fans and voltages.

Linear-I haven't done anything about the GUI yet but i will try to fix the problem.

I ought to add that it's a great prog otherwise, and works well overall. Nice work. I expect to replace LCDCenter with it in a future release.

And I appreciate you taking our feedback into account.

hmmmm, Net down -1689.9MB... Also, multiple e-mails accounts would be great... also, be able to make a GPO flash when there is e-mail, or at least turn on, so a LED could be on when there is mail...

WOW!

Nice little software, I am going to change use this from now on

One thing though, I can't get
CPU-speed, CPU-load, or any of my fans to work, they all show 0

But great work!!

Net up/down becomes a negative value after 2140MB up or down. This is because windows iphelper (iphlpapi) stores this value in a long (4 bytes) variable. I haven't figured out how to solve this yet, but i am aware of the problem.

Wanker-If you use MBM 5.1.0.2 you must enable CPU load monitoring since it is disabled by default. LCDstats uses MBM's CPU load and speed readings so those things could be a MBM problem. Do you get fan RPM's in MBM?

Love this little app

A new version of MBM has been released, 5.1.0.4. I tested it to see if LCDstats had any problems with it but it worked just like it should.

I'm working on the stuff Henry mentioned now, if you have any ideas post them here.

Macro-did you test the GPO keypad control?
