Logitech G15 LCD Driver issue

[Gamer2006]

Previous build of 7068 installed the G15 LCD drivers fine, but upgraded to the 7100 RC and the new 3.02 logitech game panel driver refused to install on win7 stating it was not compatible. Used the compatibility mode to install the driver under vista SP 1, got halfway through the install and said it was a success, however the LCD still does not display the normal readouts. It remains on the Logitech intro screen. Has anyone else run into this or am I the only one?

Haven't bothered with the drivers for mine yet but I will give it a go now for you.

what i did was, uncomprssed setup file and removed OS checks from setup.ini, they are working fine for me and i dont need to run compatibility mode for instalation.

Make sure you get x64 one as well, first one I just got was for x86 and it installed and did nothing.

 

[Mark]

Did as SoLoR mentioned it installs fine.

x64 installs fine like posted above. But If that doesn't work just hit F8 on boot and select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" and install.

At the moment not having great success with my install. I successfully unrar'd the installer, found the setup.ini file. Created a backup to play it safe. Tried to rename the INI and had to overwrite as a different name. I don't think that it makes a difference but posting it anyways. I then go to the exe's that were rar'd in the package and none of them will complete the install. The best success I had was to go into the 1b-GamePanel-X64 folder and ran the GPIsnt.exe. It got most of the way through the install, then the bar went backwards. Yup... backwards. Any other strategies? Maybe I have to remove all traces of the old install and try again? Working on that now while waiting for more feedback.

dont erase setup.ini, open it and there is a line "Conditions=OS_Future,OSCheck_xp_thru_70" that you erase or comment, then run setup.exe normaly without any compatibiliy mode or whatever.

 

[Gamer2006]

It seems compatibility mode is stuck on this file, as the process keeps repeating and failing. Do I need to redownload or how do I get rid of compatibility?

 

[Mark]

Did you get it from here http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/434/3498&cl=au,en?osid=13

 

[Gamer2006]

Check that.. I tricked it to install (and I found out where to disable compatibility mode) Thanks for the help guys!

If you would please post the solution, others may run into this issue.

Thanks,

Hmm that's strange really because for me I was able to install the newest drivers with no compatibility use at all using the Vista drivers for my G15 keyboard & MX518 mouse. Both 32 & 64 bit! :sarc:
Everything works perfectly too.

First: To disable compatibility mode, simply right click on the installer exe, click properties, then go to the compatibility tab and disable. Second, if you have used compatibility mode and failed, then delete all the install files related to gamepanel in Program Files, Program Data, and User Local App Data. Then reinstall. This is what worked for me, but considering nobody else had this problem I think this advice will generally go unheard

These drivers worked perfectly. Also eliminates an icon in my system tray

The download from logitech isn't a .rar file so I believe that was part of the problem.

If the Op was getting a .rar then he didn't get it directly from Logitech.

I've installed that same driver no less than twenty times and it worked every single time...the Logitech G9 mouse driver on the other hand is a bit trickier to install.

Now if I could figure out how to keep WMP from running all the time, the media display might actually work properly with Winamp

 

[johngalt]

The WiMP runs b/c it automatically sets itself up with the Windows Sideshow for the G-Series KBs. To disable it, you'll need to do the following:

Click Start Orb
type in sideshow
Select Windows Sideshow
uncheck Both checks associated with Windows Media Player.

A reboot *may* be needed to achieve this.

Also, I am marking this thread as solved b/c the new 3.03 drivers do, indeed, work a lot better with W7 natively than the 3.02 installer or the 3.01 driver did. Even if it is Beta....
