MX212 not working

This is the first time i've posted here basically because i only bought my first LCD screen a few days ago.
I bought the MX212 and had only just figured out how to code some basic function (had the time and date scrolling) before it screwed up! :cry:

This is gonna be hard to explain and i hope someone can understand what i mean. The text that I have should look like this....

but instead it looks like this

pr 2003 Time: 20

I find this very frustrating as i haven't even had a chance to fully play with it yet and it's already busted. Hopefully someone here can give some insight as to what the problem could be and how i can fix it. I think what may have screwed it up was when i was using LCDC the program crashed, i think this may have been what initially corrupted it.

Anyway i hope someone can help me soon :)

Sounds like you've got this problem - http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1177

An lcdc update should sort you out :)

Thanks for the tip cheese, it solved that problem but it's created a new problem, now it doesn't display anything at all

this little thing is beginning to annoy me :evil:

i think i might try a full format cause my windows is just full of junk...need to re-image it aswell so i'll try that and see how it goes, could just be when i installed the newer version over the top of the last version it may have got a little corrupted

There should be some other apps on the CD (Display-tuner etc.) do any of these work?

Can you, as Mat suggested, communicate with the display at all? i.e. contrast up/down, backlight off/on with a different software program such as display tuner?
