    Follow the instructions here and you should be able to get it working.

    Oops! Follow the instructions here first but substitute the above as needed for the G50 instead of the G1s.

    The first link I gave will bring you straight through what you need. First download the driver from the link on that page. Then extract the driver from the archive (zip) file into the LCDHype\controller folder (your installation is most likely different from mine since I dual boot but mine is at "D:\Program Files\LCDHype\controller"). Then open LCDHype and configure the controller per the first link I provided.

    That should do it. All you do with the controller (driver) is extract it to the controller folder, everything else is done in LCDHype. If you are actually having problems extracting the controller (driver), then get a zip file program like 7-Zip.
