• Some G15 keyboards are sensitive to ESD (electrostatic discharges). Should the LCD display go blank and the LCD buttons become unresponsive, try stopping LCDMon.exe, the Logitech LCD monitor application (you can use CTRL+mediastopbutton to do this). LCDSirReal will detect that it's no longer running and start it again. Remove peripherals connected to the keyboard's USB ports. Consider contacting Logitech for a replacement keyboard.
• The unread mail indicator (both in LCDSirReal and Logitech's bundled plugin) may show an incorrect number of unread mails. This is a problem with the mail client. Microsoft Outlook is known to be very buggy. Try Mozilla Thunderbird. Also, see this link.
• The TeamSpeak2 application can under stress break down with regard to it's IPC (interprocess communications) system. If this happens, LCDSirReal will show 'WAIT' in the TS2 slot. LCDSirReal will keep trying to reconnect indefinately. To fix it immediately, restart the TeamSpeak2 application.
• It should be noted that none of the above problems are caused by LCDSirReal; I'm just tired of answering questions regarding these issues in forums.
• It may or may not work on Windows 2000 and below. Note that the Logitech G15 software itself lists Windows XP as a requirement.

• Make sure you are running Logitech's latest drivers. Hint: The "Update" button they provide doesn't work. Check their website.
• Include the contents of the system.txt file in your problem report. Look for this file in My Documents\LCDSirReal.
• Include the last few lines of the errors.txt file in your problem report. Look for this file in My Documents\LCDSirReal.

how do we use it???

nice work sirreal... i like your exe... works nicely... wish it would have the song name on all the time or at least configurable...

how do we use it???

I havent got around to packing into a nice installer.

For now, just unzip the two files (my .exe and the teamspeak DLL) anywhere you like and double click the LCDSirReal.exe. If you don't use Teamspeak, you can delete the DLL.

I just did that... nothing happens... maybe it is because I don't have that 'G15' stuff (and never heard of it )

Any plans to include support for the MX5000 keyboard?

• If Teamspeak isn't running, shows WinAMP play time and average bitrate, and button 4 will re-display the current song title.
• Allow the user to choose date and time formatting.
• Compatible with the WinAMP spam plugin for Foobar2000: [a href="http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=42941" target="_blank"][a href="http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=42941" target="_blank"]http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=42941[/a][/a]
