Right click My Computer, click Manage, Device Manager, click on the + sign to expand and show the monitor you are using, double click the monitor, click Diver tab, click Update Driver, Next, select 'Search for a suitable driver'. Point it to your driver on the CD provided with the Adapter and install it. If that driver does not help, then download the latest driver from http://list.driverguide.com/list/company211/ Hope this helps.
