This supplement provides additional hints and tips to assist you if you experience any problems with L2230x Wide USB Port Replicator Monitor (hereafter called port replicator).

vThe Ethernet driver of the port replicator cannot be installed on a computer with a Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) operating system. If you are using the Windows XP SP2

operating system, the Ethernet driver of the port replicator cannot be installed successfully. A yellow exclamation mark displays before the USB Ethernet Device option, which is the name of the port replicator detected by your system, in the Computer Management window.

This has been resolved in the Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) and Microsoft Windows Vista® operating systems. To resolve the problem, you can download two patches from the Microsoft official Web site and install the patches to upgrade Windows XP SP2. Reference links are:

2.Click Manage. The Computer Management window opens.

vDo not install the port replicator and the other USB-video driver on the same computer

with a switchable graphics system. Other USB-video driver may conflict with the port replicator on the computer equipped with a switchable graphics system. It is strongly recommended that you uninstall Other USB-Video driver from driver your system.

vUsing the extend mode to play back DVD on the external monitor is not supported in the Windows XP operating system.

v When you play back video with WinDVD and Windows Media® Player, manually enabling the audio connectors on the port replicator is required if you reconnect the port replicator to your computer and want to use the audio connectors on the port replicator again.

vIf it is the first time you have uninstalled the driver of the port replicator from the Windows Vista® operating system, you might be prompted with an error message saying that the

Windows Explorer has stopped working. Restart your computer. The error message will disappear .
