Hi and welcome to the forum
There have been several problems with Asus boards...
I highly recommend to flash the new OS and firmware. Then you can use the brandnew Aquasuite and believe me when I say it's awesome

It should also fix the problem with your mainboard.
Here you will find a (unofficial) translation for the updating procedure.
A lot of people have done it
jalcds also works with the vfd version. You have to start the programm via the start-menu or via a shortcut that contains a parameter: "D:\Programme\jalcds\jaLCDs.exe
output=aquaeroLCD.jaLCD"
You should check if the file aquaeroLCD.dll exists within your windows\system32 folder.
Did you try to load the example.cfg? That config should work.
