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 2.0. Then install Microsoft .NET Framework™ from the Wireless VGA kit installer. 2. My Wireless USB Host Adapter is plugged into my computer and my Wireless VGA Adapter is powered but I do not see anything on my display.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 3. 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. 4. I see a blue screen or my desktop background on my display connected with the Wireless AV Adapter, 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.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 6. 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 AV Adapter. What’s wrong? Check the Wireless USB Manager to see if there is an icon for your Wireless AV Adapter. If there is no icon, try unplugging and then plugging in your Wireless USB Host Adapter to reload the Wireless AV Adapter.
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.
