How do I know if I have a standard VGA graphics adaptor?

I am trying to install a 3rd monitor with a VGA to USB cable. The users guide says it wont work with a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter driver. I do not know what that is.

Anonymous Aug 11, 2012

Thank you for your answers. What I meant was I do not understand what a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter driver is. I got brave and installed the software that came with the usb to VGA cable. It seems to be working (yaay) although it is very slow. I do not know if there is something else I need to do to make it run faster.

You will have to get a "Driver" for your Video Adapter. This WILL be a problem as there probably isn't one. There may be one shot, try this. Download your Video Adapter's XP driver you wish to install. If it's in a zip/rar file then extract it to your desktop. You should have a simple .exe file sitting on your desktop to install the drivers, as normal for XP. Right click the .exe file and select "Properties". Then select the tab called "Compatibility" Now check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Make sure "Windows XP Service Pack 2" is highlighted. Now apply the settings and run the installer. This should work for most drivers, but not all
The drivers are here INTEL, right at the bottom.http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WW1&catid=-1&dateid=-1&impid=-1&osl=EN&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=INS_PNT_P4_1150&hidos=WLH&hidlang=en&TabIndex=

I am having a Problem with my video card not letting me run an addition monitor off the vga output on the motherboard. I know it works because I can go to the bios and change it and it works but they want...

When using a PCI or PCI-E graphics card, it will disable your standard VGA output port because the up-dated graphics card and your factory VGA port require different display drivers. Usually, the drivers are conflicting and will make your system unstable and cause it to crash. In short, you can't use both at the same time. I have a Radeon HD 5450 graphics card installed on my PC and it too has disabled my standard VGA port. If you are trying to use more than one monitor, you have to install a graphics card that supports a multiple display output. The graphics card will either have 2 VGA ports, 2 DVI-D ports or 2 HDMI ports or even any combination of the 3. My card, for example, has 1 VGA, 1 DVI-D & 1 HDMI. I can run up to 3 monitors at a time via my graphics card, but I cannot run a 4th monitor from my factory VGA port. My graphics card uses ATI/AMD drivers while my VGA port requires the use of Nvidia drivers.
I hope that you find this useful.

I have an intel 82865G graphics chipsate in my pc but i dont have the graphics driver for window 7 os . Intel dont have any drivers for their own chipset (sham on purchase of such chipset) so please tell...

The 82865G is a card that fits into the AGP slot of Intel motherboards with the 865G chipsets:
http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel865g/sb/cs-009166.htm
It's a little confusing to know exactly what you have but if your are hooked to a DVI output and not a VGA output, then you probably have the card. You can check in "device manager" by clicking on the box next to "sound, audio and game controllers". This should list your devices and, hopefully give you an idea of who manufactured it. Intel didn't make them and suggest you go to whoever made it. You may have to open your tower and look to see who did. If you look again in device manager but, this time click on the box next to "display adaptors" and see what you have there. If you have a standard VGA driver as well as some other, that will tell you. As far as onboard graphics, you can try to update here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Desktop+Chipsets&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+865+Chipset+Family&ProdId=1049&LineId=127&FamilyId=40
If you do indeed have the card installed and want to try the on board graphics, you will have to hook a monitor via VGA cable or adaptor to the vga port on the back of your tower.

This will only work in windows. Most computers have another video out port other than vga. Check your computer and use that. You may need to buy an adapter.

Computer won't recognize monitor driver

Its the usb, if u connect the monitor via the standard port, the vga port, it will work. If your monitor only have an dvi cable you can fix that by an adapter. That adapter should be an DVI to VGA.

Good luck to you

Adaptor settings

Take out the video adaptor that you have installed and see if you can boot up with only the on-board video, first in standard mode and then if it won't work, try the safe mode..

Did you change any other settings?

Also, when you had the video card installed, did you disable the onboard video?
