Problems on Windows7 Starter

wmb · 04-16-2012, 12:20 PM

Hi all,

I'm not able to connect my Netbook with my Beamer, please find attached my support informations.

Should I have a Graphic Card which is able to connect two Screens or should this run with a normal Graphic Card? More specific: is the DisplayLink-Software offering a Software-Solution to split the signal?

Please could you help me? I'm trying since several days to get it work!

Best regards from Switzerland

Walter

From the logs, it looks to be working correctly, however you may have some issues on Windows 7 Starter:

Only Basic graphics themes will be available, which may cause some rendering issues. This will be fixed in our next release or in the Alpha here:

Also, Microsoft don't support extend mode in Windows starter edition. As the default display configuration from DisplayLink is extend, then the display will not immediately work.
