Convert DVI as your primary display because the Convert DVI is capable of

using a higher resolution than the physical monitor connected to your primary

DVI output. If this happens, follow the steps below:

1 Disconnect the Convert DVI from your display card.

2 Restart your system and log on to Windows.

3 Reconnect the Convert DVI to your display card’s secondary DVI output,

and then follow the steps in “Configuring your display settings for use with

Convert DVI” on page 21.

If you accidentally connected the Convert DVI to the DVI OUT on your display

card that is associated with your primary display, follow the steps below:

1 Disconnect both the Convert DVI and your monitor from your display card.

2 Connect your monitor to your display card’s primary DVI output, and then

restart your computer.

3 After you have restarted your computer, connect the Convert DVI to your

display card’s second DVI output, and then follow the steps in “Configuring

your display settings for use with Convert DVI” on page 21.
