hi again.. thanks for your reply.. I actually hooked everything up together and pluged the demo board by its usb connection to my pc. It started displaying company information. but when i used the exact same programing codes that came with the demo board in Turbo C/C++ win 7 64bit, i didn't get any results of my own. I just changed the greeting message to one of my own. nothing changed. Im not sure if its the turbo c im using is the right program or it could be the code. not sure.. help me out please. i will provide you with any information you that is necessary. thank you.

Basically it looks like the demo board was simply designed to allow you to test various LCD screens. Plug in an LCD, hook up to a USB port for power and the company info would by default scroll across the screen.. You could then modify the code, compile it and then reload it so it says something completely different. - no "drivers" are needed (Windows running on a PIC.... now there's an worrying thought )

Do you have the ability to program PICs ?
