FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Why can’t I install .NET? You may have an older version of .NET, preventing the newer one from being installed. Using Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features on the Control Panel, uninstall any version of Microsoft .NET Framework™ older than version 3.0. Then install Microsoft .NET Framework™ from the Wireless USB to VGA and Audio Kit installer. 2.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Still not connected? Try adjusting the resolution from the TruLink DisplayLink manager. Some displays such as television type displays can be recognized as a default monitor and therefore your PC may set it as a default 1280x1024 which can be too high for the monitor. If your monitor is not capable of displaying that resolution, you will need to lower the setting. 3.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS setup will not allow use of the original display. We recommend using a DVD based playback software if possible (i.e. PowerDVD, WinDVD) as these players have less playback issues, and your wireless display does not have to be primary. 6. My Wireless USB Host Adapter is plugged into my computer and my Wireless Audio Device Adapter is powered but I do not hear anything out of my speakers.
VIDEO PLAYBACK TIPS 1. We only recommend playing back video in “Extend” mode. 2. Don’t switch between “Mirror” and “Extended” modes while video is being played on the wireless display. Doing this can confuse the video player which may cause it to stop its playback. We recommend stopping playback, and then switching viewing modes if needed. Then you can restart your playback. 3. Avoid dragging video while playing from one display to another. The video may stop playback if this is done.
