G50V - Anyone find a use for the OLED display?

[Predator_MF]

Anyone know why volume add-on doesn't work for Vista and 7?

I used the volume add-on in XP and it worked fine, it reported the volume and I have a display for it.

But I installed Win7 now, and it no longer works.

Is it a driver issue? I tried the same version number as my XP audio driver, and it still didn't work for Win7.

Sorry for delay answer, I saw your previous post...what Volume Add-on are you talking about ? Link ?

I know how the formula to convert the temps, I just don't know how to use it on the temperature that LCDHype outputs.

The formula is "Temp. Celsius" x 1.8 + 32 = "Temp. Fahrenheit".

I really have no idea how to do it in LCDHype... could you maybe post up some code snippets that I could cut and paste into the script?

Assuming %C is the temperature in Celsius, the LCDHype code would be:

%(Inc, %Mul(%C, 1.8), 32)

as predator say:

%(Inc, %Mul(%UsePlugin(LCDWeather\lcdweather.dll,%ID(),Current,Temp), 1.8), 32)

That's the line you have to put! copy & paste!
Dont forget to change the ID to your cityID!!!

I tired to use that plugin in vista, and also didnt work for me!
it looks like the plugin wasnt write to work in a OS over XP!

So I tried to find this answer but no luck, or I am blind...

Anyway I got G50vt running windows 7 rtm.

Using my old code from Vista x64 this worked fine, under 7 my CPU usage does not work.

What do I need to change?

Thanks!

No one knows?

So, couple of bugs I've been having trouble with on my W7 G50Vt-X5 setup(x64):
MSN Plugin:
-Randomly doesn't work.
-When it doesn't work it shows Status: Unknown and I checked out the MegaScript, and when I change the text from Unknown to something else it doesn't change, indicating it is using the function where it prints the status value directly from the dll.

Text gone while gaming
- I've not been able to test if it's for some games specific, but sometimes when I start a game, and its playing, my LCDHype is screwing up the screen.
I still am able to recognize what script is running at the moment from the layout. But it wipes out all text, so I just get blue rectangles instead of a blue bordered black box with text in it. The autochange still works, so its for all script. When I turn of the game it works again...

[Predator_MF]

Maybe issue with Win7, Status: Unknown means the MSN plugin cannot read data from MSN...the other problem also looks like Win7 incompatibility, there's no reason for the text to disappear when gaming...check LCDHype's forum

Sorry for delay answer, I saw your previous post...what Volume Add-on are you talking about ? Link ?

In my script, I use 2 plugins to report the system's current volume:

'lcdvc\lcdvc.dll','Master','GetVolume'
and
'lcdvc\lcdvc.dll','Master','GetMuted'

When I used it on my XP system, they reported the correct volume.
However, I installed Win7, and newest LCDHype (pretty sure it's the same version as before), loaded up my script and the volume always gets reported back as 0.

[Predator_MF]

...
'lcdvc\lcdvc.dll','Master','GetVolume'
and
'lcdvc\lcdvc.dll','Master','GetMuted'
..

One suggestion is to contact the author of this plugin, but this would be like searching a ghost

I haven't used this plugin, I can't tell you about it, tho in the past I've written code that reads mixer volume...I can write you a better plugin I guess

Btw, I'm the author of WiMood for Skype, you can test it and see if it reports sound volume correctly on your Win7, if it does, I can with ease port you that part of the code to a LCDHype plugin

[stouf]

I can confirm that :
- Volume control is not working at all in win7 (tested every method possible)
- CPU occupation is not reported in Win7, you have to use Everest and use his values instead.

[T-Grave]

Now all of a sudden my MSN plugin works everytime I start my computer, but now "Overclocker" isn't able to read out any values from Everest...

The thing I think is weird, is the fact I didn't touch everest, lcdhype, the script, or even any configuration settings in W7, the only thing I've been doing the past 6 days is browsing the internet and using msn, and all of a sudden it isn't working anymore

Edit: Nvm, the weirdest thing, I didn't activate Writing values to WMI and Registry because of the fact it was working without it. So I activated it to see if it made any difference, and writing values to WMI fixed my issues with Everest and overclocker.

I also set the compatibility mode of lcdhype to Windows XP SP3, you never know, it might just run a little more stable and stuff.

I was also wondering were I can download LCDHype 6.1.1? On the LCDHype forums some people are talking about it, but the link I found on the forums didn't work anymore.
