Updated LcdWriter

I posted an updated version of LcdWriter a couple days ago. The main difference is that it supports the VFD and remote in Moneual's MonCaso 320 HTPC case (also works with the remote in the 312), but there were some architectual changes as well. LcdWriterService is no longer required for displays...

LcdWriter for Sage (and Media Center)

Just uploaded a new version of LcdWriter updated for SageTV. The installer includes both writers for Media Center and SageTV, there weren't any major changes for Media Center so if you already have the Vista rev working there's no need to install this one. In addition to the basic writing features...

New version of LcdWriter for Vista

There's a new rev , if you've installed a previous version uninstall it before installing this one. I fixed too many bugs to list, the most obvious one was corruption when resuming from standby.
