I recently received a Brookstone Message Fan with Floating LED Display as a gift. It lets users edit the floating text on the fan which displays while it rotates! Cool!
Unfortunately the fan only comes with a CD for the software, and I did not have a CD drive (hello 2017!). There is a link on Brookstone’s website that lists a link for the software, but it only contains an executable file when the application itself actually needs a few more references. When I first opened the software I got an error: “Can’t Load LIB\WxkUSB.dll”.
A quick Google search led me to this YouTube Video “Brookstone fan message Lib Wxkusb.dll File to Install – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GtIcglWmjQ&vl=en“. That video links to a DropBox URL for the .dll file, but downloading that and trying to run the application I still got an error.
I finally got my hands on a CD drive and extracted the entire software package to edit the LED Fan from Brookstone. Once I use these files I was able to edit the fan settings in just a few minutes! I zipped them all up and uploaded them to my Google Drive and shared with everyone. Hope this helps!

Hallo. This is the 3rd software that I try to run the software and never work with XP. In the instructions there is wrote that is compatible but it don’t run. Do you have tried with Win Xp maybe one time? Many thanks
Thank you very much for this. You have saved me a lot of time
Thanks bro
Keyboard does not work
Totally thanks buddy. Sons fan didn’t have a disc and you made his fan into an epic birthday gift instead of a big epic failure and return to store… 🙂
Thanks! I had the same problem; unfortunately its writing in th wrong dirction – anyway i can program it, finally 😀
I had the same backwards issue, had to get the software off the CD. I’m happy to send it to the author to add another version of the software, but can’t find any email for him.
Thanks! That was incredibly helpful! Worked like a charm!
Glad it helped you!
I’m running windows 10 and while the software runs it never connects to the fan any ideas?
Thank you! My wife gifted me one exactly like yours. I downloaded it and got it to change to few quirky messages, “I am awesome!” etc.
Thanks a lot!
Happy to help!
Thank You So Much!!! It Works Perfect!!! 🙂
Happy to help!
You’re a Legend!
Thanks!
