Matrix Orbital Corp

Hi,
I have been using Matrix lcd's for a few years and have never had any problems until now.
for the last 4mths i have had a nice shiney new MX532, when i got up this morning the text is reversed and reading backwards.
ive tried reinstalling the lcd software i am using.
but the problem is still there, can anyone help me please?
i have done a search and found nothing on text deciding to reverse

ie my c drive space reads,

BG69.91 / BG88.11:C

and my greeting message reads

sgniteerG reprusU

Hi Usurper,

Thank you for posting on the forums.

That is an interesting problem you have. What I do know about this problem that it is software related. The display still displays letters, and it doesn't have the intelligence to reverse it around. Try to reprogramming your screens, and see if it works. Have you tested it out with other software like uproject. Uproject can be found on the ecd that came with your display.

Keep me posted if that works out for you.

Best Regards,

thankyou for the reply.

i have tried reprogramming the screens to no avail.
i then uninstalled the usb drivers, i am trying to reinstall the usb driver again now but my pc isnt picking it up, i think i will have to reboot.

ill let you know how i get on , and thanks again for the advice.

Since you are reinstalling the drivers, you can get the most updated drivers v1.4 at http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1016 .

hmmm i have uninstalled the usb driver , rebooted, and i am now greeted by the MATRIX ORBITAL MX5 screen ( correct orientation) i get the noise to say new hardware found, but i am not getting the dialogue box up to search/install new drivers.

i cant remember how to get around this ggrr.

i take it there is something i am missing here

If you uninstall the drivers again then go to the registry, and delete the entries shown on the same link with the updated drivers, the dialog box will show up.

Best Regards,

i got around it by using device manager hehe, however the screen is not been picked up ggrrr, back to the drawing board.

rebooted and now its fine, hmmmmm , althogh im happy its working , im dead curios how it ended up going weird hehe.

thanks for your help Tom, it is much appreciated.

Yeah that is a strange one. Glad it is working out for you though.

Since you are working with a PC it is constantly transfering data into different locations, so software can do strange things sometimes.

If you have anymore questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.



Best Regards,
