FAQ
- Does the screen display abnormally?
- Please check the following to see if something caused this issue: Check if your system display adapter driver is installed properly. If you have DisplayLink devices installed in your system, please remove the driver from Control Panel\ Programs and Features\ Since these kinds of devices may influence the performance. If you have the USB to VGA adapter connected to a USB 3.0 Hub, connect it directly to a USB 3.0
- Why only 800×600?
- This product only operates at 800×600 when it’s connected to the PC at USB 2.0 speed. Make sure the computer has a USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 ports have an “SS” next to the USB symbol and most have blue plastic centers. If the computer does not have a USB 3.0 port, the maximum resolution will be 800×600. If the computer has USB 3.0 ports, make sure to connect the device to one of those ports. If the resolution is still 800×600, try different USB 3.0 ports.
- Want to try more monitors?
- This adapter needs a lot of data to keep working properly. Most computer systems can’t send enough data over USB 3.0 for two USB to VGA adapters. This means that one or both monitors will start flickering or go completely blank.
- Here are some rules to give you the best chance. No Hubs! USB hubs provide more ports but can’t increase the amount of data a USB port can send. If your system has more than one USB 3.0 Host controller, connect one USB to a VGA adapter to each controller. You can also try adding an additional PC to a USB 3.0 adapter card to your system.
- Could the adapter work under a secure desktop?
- The USB to VGA adapter could work under regular Windows settings, but it couldn’t work under a secure desktop. That’s because, under a secure desktop, the driver of the graphics card couldn’t be opened.
