Displays seemingly random characters on the VFD
screen after a while. Can be hours, can be days. The
LCD Smarties screen on Windows displays correctly,
but the VFD screen is random.
If I stop then restart LCD Smarties it's fine again.
I've narrowed this down to the winamp spectum analyzer
plugin. When this is running with WinAmp, the display gets
corrupted, when the Spectrum Analyzer is disabled, it works
fine.

I have a similar problem but it is not random. I wonder if
your problem is the same.
LCD Smartie is running fine, open My Computer or right-click
any file and hover over the Send To menu. All of a sudden,
only the first column of the display works. My display is
from the Silverstone LC03V case. This situation also happens
with jaLCDs.
I have no solution but booting the computer in safe mode
stops it happening. This means that an item of software is
causing the problem but if I stop all the software but don't
boot in safe mode (ie, if I use MSconfig to disable third
party services and startup progs) the situation remains.
Any solutions would be great. Silverstone tech support says
this problem has never happened to anyone in the world ever.
Of course.
