the primary display?
A: Some video cards ship their product with a utility that prevent other video cards from being set as the primary card. Check the bottom right hand corner taskbar for the utility.
Disable the utility before switching our adapter to be the primary display.
Q: Why won‟t my DVD player work when I move it over to the extended display?
A: Some DVD playback software packages do not support playing on a second display adapter of any kind. You may try to open the program in the secondary display first before playing the DVD.
Q: How come my video will not play on Media Player if I move it over to the extended desktop?
A: Check that you have moved the Media Player window completely over to the second screen. Also, make sure to set the Aero mode on Windows 7.
Q: Why does my mouse not move pass the right side of the screen as it should on extended desktop?
A: Check the display settings and make sure that your display number „2‟ is on the right side of display number „1‟. You can rearrange how Windows treats each display in relation to each other in the Display Properties Settings.
Q: There are lines running horizontally up and down my screen.
A: This is due to a low refresh rate setting. You can change this in the Display Properties
Settings Advanced Monitor. Make sure you select the
USB VGA D
OCKING
S
TATION first and not set the refresh rate higher than what your monitor can support. This may damage your monitor. You can also try to reset/refresh/resynchronize your monitor.
Q: Direct X 3D does not work?

EVICE
.
Known Issues
- Direct 3D is not supported on Windows XP/Vista. It supported under Windows 7 Aero mode.
General Recommendation
- Check to make sure that the device is plugged in correctly to the host system.
- Make sure that the USB port that you are using is USB 2.0.
- Unplug the USB cable of USB graphics device and re-insert it.
- Check to see that the monitor is connected correctly and is powered ON.
- Make sure to restart your computer after the driver installation.
- Try a different USB 2.0 port and/or computer.
- Unplug all other USB devices from the system.
- Try connecting the USB cable of USB graphics device directly to the computer instead of through a hub.
- Reset/refresh/resynchronize your monitor.
Media Playback
- During video playback on all platforms, please do not change the display mode, position or arrangement of video player window (such as dragging the video player window between main display and attached display). This usually causes the video player to have strange behavior and the video may stop playing. We suggest stopping the video playback, moving the window to the USB graphics device attached display and then selecting the video clip to start playing.
- You may experience poor video performance on USB graphics device attached display under some low-spec PC system.
- Video rendering using hardware overlays is supported.
- Some DVD playback software packages do not support playing on a second display adapter of any kind. You may try to open the media player in the secondary display first before start playing the DVD.
- Your PC may be lack of certain video codec to support playback of certain video format.
Please use the link below to install license free media codec.

USB VGA D
OCKING
S
TATION
K- Lite: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
- Video/Media players have different decoding capability under different display modes. For better performance on watching DVD or certain video format on the USB graphics device attached display, it is recommended to use the following license free software.
VLC Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Media Player Classic: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/
Others
- Some graphics card, i.e. Intel, prevents other secondary graphics chipset from being set as the primary card. As the result of this, primary mode might not work or the display maybe disabled.
- If you have problems during the boot up process, start your computer in Safe Mode and uninstall the driver. Hold the CTRL key until the Windows startup menu appears and select
Safe Mode.
- To verify the driver version that you installed, please click “Control Panel” → “Add or
Remove Programs” to check the program: Installer for USB 2.0 VGA & LAN
11.x.x.xxxx.0185 (the number means the driver version).
- Please contact your dealer to obtain the latest driver or for additional assistance if needed.
- Some limitation exists in different media player on file format support. We enclose our compliance test result in the tables according to different operating system, main system graphics card/chipset, media players, and the supported media format. It will be updated periodically with new version of media players or our latest driver.
