Frequently Asked Questions

Q1:

Why won't my DVD player work when I move it over

to the extended display?

A1:

Some DVD playback software packages do not support

playing on a second display adapter.

Q2:

How come my open window will not move over to the

extended display?

A2:

Restore down the open window before moving it

over to the extended display, also make sure the open

window is moved completely over onto the extended
display.

Q3:

There are lines running horizontally up and down my

screen or the screen is distorted.

A3:

This is due to a low or unsupported refresh rate setting.

You can change this in 

Display Properties/ Settings/

Advanced/Monitor

Note

: Select the 

USB 3.0 to

DisplayPort Adapter

 and do not set the refresh rate

higher than what your monitor can support.

Q4:

Why can't I make the 

USB 3.0 to DisplayPort Adapter

 the

primary display?

A4:

Some video cards ship with a utility that prevents

other video cards from being set as the primary video

card.  Check the bottom right hand corner of the

taskbar for the utility.  Disable the utility before

switching the 

USB 3.0 to DisplayPort Adapter

 to be the

primary display.
