El_Roto Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) It works fine in the desktop environment but in A-10C it won't load new screens. It gets stuck when the loading screen appears and won't change. This happens in both Multiplayer and Single Player. The left LCD never has a problem. All I see is black. Sometimes the blue line at the bottom appears but it doesn't change at the next point. I'll try resetting the USB plugs but that doesn't always solve the problem. Actually, it can create more problems as it can cause the sim to freeze and only killing dcs.exe will get me out. Fun Fact: I can get most of the new screen to appear by moving the mouse cursor around, like an Etch-a-Sketch, but it's a still screen as before. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, reinstalling the original drivers (after deleting the current ones), swapping USB ports...nothing. Any ideas? :helpsmilie: P.S. I changed the coordinates in the Multiplayer server screen options a while back to correct the spill-over glitch. This was well before the LCD problem occurred.

El_Roto Posted February 27, 2011 Author Posted February 27, 2011 It's Working Now Fixed it! After reloading this and unplugging that I found a solution: always have an active window on the screen of the LCD. I had been getting away from leaving TS3 on the LCD, with Task Manager on the left side, because of fears of frame rate issues - would the screens layer instead of replacing the former image thus causing the monitor to draw more? Unfounded, turns out. So I went back to leaving both screens loaded when launching A-10C and Voila!, problem solved. My guess is by keeping the screen active, I keep it from going to sleep and thereby not needing to be reset by unplugging/plugging the damn thing every time I try to load a mission. I got the idea for this after reading a DiplayLink forum where users complained of their LCDs not waking up after being in sleep mode. Now, I don't know why this only happened to the right Mimo and not the left one as they both were "empty" when the problem started, but I don't really care since it's working now. I may investigate further re: sleep mode but not now, I'm too busy having fun with the RC. Thanks for checking this out. Hopefully it will help someone else.

Slayer Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I have the MIMO iMo 7" USB monitors also. They work good but for some reason the right MFCD doesn't refresh UNLESS you have a window open on your Windows desktop and dragged down to the right screen. The left one works without a hitch. Other people are reporting this issue with different setup. Could be a bug.
