Alternately, the same setting changes can be made from the Display Properties menu, which can be activated by right-clicking on an empty area of the user desktop and selecting Properties, then clicking the Advanced button and choosing the Monitor tab:

Primary
The system's main graphics adapter will automatically switch to act as the secondary graphics adapter and the main screen will now work as the extended desktop. The monitor connected to the USBVGADOCK will now act as the primary Windows desktop.
Please be advised that some display utilities and drivers that shipped with certain AGP and built-in display adapters may prevent this option from working on some systems. You can disable the other utility program (usually found in the same toolbar located on the bottom right hand corner) to enable this function to work properly.
Extended (Default)
By default, the monitor connected to the USBVGADOCK unit will work as an Extended Desktop, by extending the primary Windows desktop of your system onto the USBVGADOCK connected monitor. You can change the
Instruction Manual
relative position of this extended desktop in the operating system Display Properties.
Mirror
In Mirror mode, the Windows desktop will be mirrored/duplicated onto the secondary CRT/LCD monitor (connected to USBVGADOCK). The screen resolution setting on the secondary monitor will match that of the primary screen's resolution. For example, if the primary resolution is 1024x768@32bit, the secondary monitor's resolution will be the same.
However, if the selected resolution setting is not supported by the primary screen, a warning dialogue box will be displayed and the suggested screen resolution will be shown.
OFF
This option disables the monitor connected to the USBVGADOCK unit.
Rotation
This feature enables you to configure the orientation of the secondary monitor. Options include rotating Right (90 °), Left (270 °), Flip (180 °) and Normal, available in both Extended or Primary modes of operation.
Troubleshooting
text_image
Warning symbol image with exclamation mark inside a trianglePlease Note: Should the USBVGADOCK become overloaded, simply disconnect it from the host computer, wait for the operating system to indicate that it has been removed, then reconnect it to the host computer.
In the event that you encounter difficulty when installing or using the USBVGADOCK USB 4-in-1 Docking Station with VGA, the following suggestions may be useful:
Q: Why can't I make the monitor connected to USBVGADOCK the primary display?
A: Some video cards are shipped with a utility that prevents other video cards from being set as the primary card. Check the taskbar (typically located next to the clock, in the lower right hand corner of the Windows desktop) for the utility. Disable this utility, in order to set the USBVGA-DOCK monitor to act as the primary display.
Q: Why won't my DVD player work when I move it over to the extended display?
A: Some DVD playback software packages do not support playing on a second display adapter. Try to open the program in the secondary display first before playing the DVD.
Q: Video will not play on Media Player if I move it over to the extended desktop?
A: Check that you have moved the Media Player window completely over to the second screen.
Q: Why does my mouse not move past the right side of the screen as it should (extended desktop)?
Instruction Manual
A: Ensure that the display settings accurately reflect the desired configuration. In this case, make sure that your display number '2' is on the right side of display number '1'. You can rearrange how Windows treats each display in relation to each other in the Display Properties Settings.
Q: There are lines running horizontally up and down the screen on the monitor connected to USBVGADOCK.
A: First, try to reset/refresh/resynchronize the display. Typically, there is a button on the front panel of the display that allows this function. Please consult the vendor documentation that accompanied the monitor, if necessary to locate this button/function.
This could also be due to a low refresh rate setting. This can be changed in the operating system Display Properties menu. In the menu, click on Settings, Advanced, then Monitor. Make sure you select the USB 2.0 VGA Device first and do not set the refresh rate higher than what is supported by the connected monitor. This may damage your monitor. You can also try to reset/refresh/resynchronize your monitor.
Q: Direct3D does not work?
A: Please check our website for driver updates that may support this function. If your application requires this, please use the main display adapter.
Q: USBVGADOCK does not work with a Windows Vista™ 64-bit system?
A: Please check our website for driver updates in the future, that may support this function.
