Troubleshooting 

 

I inserted the Utility & Driver CD-ROM into my computer's CD-ROM Drive and the

the Windows Icon on the bottom left hand corner of the screen,, click the “Search 

programs and files”  box, and type D:\Autorun.exe, where “D” in 

“D:\Autorun.exe” is the letter assigned to your CD-ROM Drive, and then press the 

ENTER key on your keyboard 

2.

 

For Windows Vista, if the installation menu does not appear automatically, click

The HD monitor or TV is blank. 

1. Verify that your USB and HDMI cable connections are secured and properly 

connected. 

2. Verify your computer is on and not in standby or hibernation mode. The adapter 

will automatically disconnect and the HD monitor/TV will turn blank in these modes. 

3. Please ensure that the software and drivers are installed. You can find the 

installation procedure on Page 3.

moments for your HD monitor or TV to display video on the screen.

uninstall the drivers and software (Page 9), disconnect the adapter, and re-install 

the drivers and software.

The HD monitor or TV is flickering.

screen resolution. 

2. Use the adapter in Extended Mode. 

3. Terminate any other CPU intensive applications running on your computer. 

4. Some media players require DirectX hardware support to operate correctly. 

Please try a different media player application. 

5. In Extended Mode, drag the media player application playing the video to the HD 

monitor or TV desktop display, then close and re-open the Media Player 

application. 

6. Try reducing the hardware acceleration of your primary computer display levels 

on your computer to levels 1,2,or 3 and restarting the media player application.

the HD monitor and TV display and there is another monitor extending the display 

on to the HD monitor and TV display at the same time. The extension mode must
