So I recently decided to take the leap from XP to Windows 7 and I'm having some issues with getting my iMon remote and VFD setup... I don't know exactly what model I have though it's one of the OEM versions that shipped with a Silverstone case I bought 3-5 years ago. It included the 2x16 VFD display and the iMon IR remote.
So when I originally tried install the iMon software in Win7, I tried to install it over my files from XP with the hopes of keeping my original settings and remote command customizations. This led to the remote only being able to move the cursor around the screen, not of the other buttons responded. The VFD worked, but when using WinAmp it wouldn't detect that winamp was running and switch to Media info mode.
So I figured the smart thing to do would be to uninstall it, delete the iMon directories, and do a fresh install of the software. I did this, rebooted, let iMon upgrade itself to 7.78.1125, and rebooted again.
Now it doesn't work at all. The display is blank, the remote doesn't respond, and iMon says the H/W is disconnected. I've tried rebooting, completely shutting down and unplugging the computer, unplugging and plugging back in the USB cable, but nothing works.
I'm dual-booting the system with my original XP install and iMon still works fine there, which leads me to believe it's a software issue.
Can you suggest some steps or methods to help resolve this issue? Is there are more thorough way to remove the iMon software before reinstalling it? Thanks.
