I have searched everywhere, and I don't seem to be the only person with issues regarding this lisvfd.dll plugin for LCDSmartie. I have the NMediaPC PRO-LCD-B
I can occasionally get the display to work with the above lisvfd.dll. However, I cannot get it to display reliably. It won't autostart. If I program a task with task scheduler, that doesn't work either. The only way I can get the display to work is weird: I must do the following:
Open the LCDSmartie virtual display: I see nothing on my actual LCD
Then, I must click to advance to the next screen: then my actual display kicks in. VERY weird.
If I enable autostart in LCDSmartie I get the error: Failed to open device. DLL initialize error. lisvfd.dll exception. The handle is invalid.
Any ideas? Please help? Newer/better plugin than version 1.0.0.0 of lisvfd.dll for my display?

Re: lisvfd.dll and NMediaPC LCD-Pro
PROBLEM SOLVED!!! For anyone else with similar issues, I recommend the following:
1. Do not check the box in LCDSmartie for it to autostart. Start the program as a task in task scheduler; run with highest privileges; delay running for 30 seconds to 1 minute to allow for resources availability on COM ports
2. In Device Manager: find the device; Under Port Setup, make sure the bits per second are set to the same as LCDSmartie, which should be set to 38400 for this specific LCD-Windows default is 9600; Under Miscellaneous options, under advanced, set to Serial Printer instead of Serial Enumerator or anything else-Windows default is Serial Enumerator. Also make sure the COM port is 1 through 4, if not, change to 1 through 4, and make sure device manager com port number is same as LCDSmartie.
