Windows 8 issues - USB display adapter

Pyney · 12-10-2012, 10:58 AM

Hi Forum.

I am having this issue with a DL-165 USB Adapter purchased from Maplin. The adapter is connected via USB to a new Windows 8 Lenovo Desktop PC with Intel HD Graphics. I am using the adapter with the supplied DVI to VGA converter and then this is connected to the LG Flatron W1942S monitor and everything works fine following installing the software, desktop displayed & extended as desired etc.

However, once I restart the PC, the second monitor is not activated and just stays in standby, as if nothing is being sent to the monitor. I have tried unlpugging the adapter and plugging it back in, no joy. I have gone into display settings to try to get it to work and no joy.

The only way I can get it to work, is to completely un-install the software and re-install it, which is not ideal.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is this a known issue? And can it be fixed?

Thanks!
