To expand further, the Wavlink adapter appears to be based on a USB 3.0 DisplayLink chipset. If pressed to guess, the legacy version of the DisplayLink driver for Windows XP does not know how to communicate with this chipset and that in turn is causing the problem.

You may want to consider trying to find an older adapter based on a USB 2.0 DisplayLink chipset to see if that changes the result. An example of such an adapter would be this one --> https://plugable.com/products/uga-165

Understood, thank you for the reply.

Based on my laptop Lenovo R61i's specification, if the USB 2.0 to HDMI adapter does not work, does it mean I should try a USB 1.0 to HDMI adapter?

Thank you once again.
