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 with Integrated Audio Kit installer.
2. My Wireless USB Host Adapter is plugged into my computer and my Wireless USB to VGA
with Integrated Audio Adapter is powered but I do not see anything on my display. What’s
wrong?
Check the Wireless USB Manager to see if there is an icon for your Wireless USB to VGA with
Integrated Audio Adapter. If there is no icon, try unplugging and then plugging in your Wireless USB
Host Adapter to reload the Wireless USB to VGA with Integrated Audio Adapter.
If you see an icon that is gray in the Wireless USB Manager, try resetting the Wireless USB to VGA
with Integrated Audio Adapter by unplugging its power and plugging it back in. You should see the
icon in the Wireless USB Manager appear in colour when it is connected.
If both Activity Indicators are lit on the Host Adapter and VGA with Audio Adapter, check your icon
tray and make sure that the DisplayLink Manager is there. If you do not see the DisplayLink Manager
icon, the DisplayLink software is not active. You will need to reboot your computer, and when it
restarts the software will finish its installation.

Still not connected?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Try adjusting the resolution from the DisplayLink Manager. Some displays such as television type
displays can be recognised 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. I don’t see all the resolutions available through the DisplayLink Manager. Why is this?
Note all displays have the same capabilities. Computer monitors will typically have the capability for
the PC to recognise its capable resolutions. HDTVs may not have this capability built in through its
PC input, so if you are connecting to this type of display, only some of the resolutions may appear in
the resolution drop down selection in the DisplayLink Manager.
4. Why is my video choppy?
If you are experiencing choppy video, try changing the channel (please refer to your Wireless USB
Host Adapter settings for this) or move in your computer closer to the display. Also, make sure your
PC meets the recommended requirements for the type of video application you are using.
Video playback at full screen is only recommended at resolutions 1280x720 or less. To avoid choppy
video, scale the resolution back to 1280x720 or lower. This can be done through the DisplayLink
Manager.
25
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
5. I see a blue screen or my desktop background on my display connected with the Wireless
USB to VGA with Integrated Audio Kit, but no icons. Is something wrong with my unit?
No, your unit is working properly. The default setting of this device will extend your desktop on the
additional display. With this function, you can grab icons or open applications on that display to make
your overall viewing space larger. The setting can be changed to Mirror mode, and with this, you can
duplicate the image from your main display or laptop screen to the additional display.
6. I am having issues transmitting video during DVD playback when using Windows Media
Player. Is my unit not working properly? If it is, can this be fixed?
Your unit is working properly. Although Windows Media Player works, it does not react well for all
scenarios. Windows Media Player will only work on the display connected with the Wireless USB to
VGA with Integrated Audio Kit, when you make this your primary display. To make it your primary
display, you should go to the “Settings” tab in your Windows Display Properties and click the
DisplayLink Device monitor, and check “Use this device as the primary monitor”. Then go to your
primary monitor and if “Extend my Windows desktop on the monitor” is checked, uncheck this option.
Your image should now transmit to the display connected with the Wireless USB to VGA with
Integrated Audio Kit.
Please note, this 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.
26
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
7. I am trying to play back a DVD on my extended display, but I am getting no picture.
Playback of protected content is not supported by this product, which means some DVD players and
all Blu-ray players will not display video when connected through your display.
8. My Wireless USB Host Adapter is plugged into my computer but I do not hear anything out of
my speakers when connected through the Wireless VGA with Integrated Audio Adapter.
What’s wrong?
Check the Wireless USB Manager to see if there is an icon for your Wireless VGA with Integrated
Audio Device Adapter. If there is no icon, try unplugging and then plugging in your Wireless USB
Host Adapter to reload the Wireless VGA with Integrated Audio Adapter.
If you see an icon that is grey in the Wireless USB Manager, try resetting the Wireless VGA with
Integrated Audio Adapter by unplugging its power and plugging it back in. You should see the icon in
the Wireless USB Manager appear in colour when it is connected.
Still not connected?
If you are using an audio source such as an A/V receiver, make sure the receiver is on the right input
channel or attempt troubleshooting with your audio output device equipment.

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. To void this potential issue, open your media player on the wireless display, close the media
player, and then re-open it. When you re-open it, the media player should open on the wireless
display. From here, you can start playback of your video.
4. Avoid changing the resolution of the wireless display while a video is being played back, as this can
cause the image to move to another screen if one is connected.
5. If you experience issues with QuickTime movie trailers, the solution is to disable DirectX in the
QuickTime options menu. This can be found in the “Advanced” tab in the QuickTime player plug in
settings.
6. If you are using a notebook, the power plan settings should be set to “High Performance” mode or
similar depending on what operating system you are using, to ensure that you will have all the
necessary CPU resources available.
