USB2HDMI Problem

opi4613 · 03-21-2014, 01:29 PM

So, I bought the USB2HDMI Adapter because my existing graphics adapter isn't compatible with Windows 8 (Thanks to the lovely guys at Intel).

The USB2HDMI Adapter was therefore bought as an external graphics adapter. However, now when I try and install I get the error:-
"Before installing DisplayLink core software and drivers, please install upto date OEM Drivers for your PC's graphics hardware etc...."

Is there anyway I can get round this error? And I was right in thinking it is an external graphics adapter?

Hi,

DisplayLink software requires a graphics driver to be present in order for it to function.

Apart from updating your system with a newer graphics card you could try hunting around google to see if anyone has made an unoffical Windows 8 compatible graphics driver for your Intel graphics adapter.

Thanks,
James
