Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q:I am unable to make the USB to DVI Adapter the primary display!

A:Some video cards ship their product with a utility that prevents other video cards from being set as the primary card. Check the bottom right hand corner taskbar for this utility and disable it before switching the USB to DVI-I Adapter to 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.

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.

Q:Why does my mouse not move to the right side of the screen as it should on the extended desktop?

A:Check the Display Settings (page 6) 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 setting by going to the Display Settings (Page 6) and then selecting Advanced and then the Monitor tab. Make sure you select the USB 2.0 Graphics Device-1 first and set the refresh rate no higher than your monitor can support as this may damage your monitor. You can also try to reset/refresh/resynchronize your monitor.

Q:Why won’t the Adapter work on Windows Vista 64 bit version?

A:Currently, the driver is compatible with Windows Vista 32 bit version only. Please check the LINDY website for any driver updates.
