Works Great!
This works better than anything I've tried to extend screens on multiple monitors from a laptop. Easy install, no monitor freezing, great with excel sheets! So glad a spent a little more $, so worth it!!!

Issue with XP
I need a second screen for a factory application where the PC is XP so using USB2VGAE2. Tried both drivers (V20 and 21). The drivers install fine but the USB device does not find the drivers once connected. It remains as an unknown device.
I see the Trigger family drivers (mirror / extend) in Device Manager under Display, and when I go to display settings it lets me ...

It works!
My computer tech guy said it couldn't be done, said you could not connect a second monitor to my USB 2.0 port, after trying one purchased online from China. Well, this StarTech adapter proved him wrong! Setup was simple, and my second monitor works great! It was very easy to shop for it on the StarTech website...excellent descriptions of your items and their capabilitie...

Issue
Have windows 7 enterprise, now using office 365 through citrix. any of the office 365 programs like outlook, excel and word will expand but looks messed up and is unusable on the USB monitor. is semi useable minimized. It seemed to run ok with an earlier version of office.

Product I wanted - it worked! BUT.....
This adapter worked perfectly - however - I emailed Customer Service about no being charged tax - (non-profit purchase) unfortunately - I was still charged the tax. I'm hoping that someone can remedy this for me.

Worked perfectly!
One computer we added to was plug and play. The other two, we needed help, but the help desk at StarTech is awesome! They did a remote session and fixed it in five minutes! Buying more, definitely recommend!

Recent Cable Purchase
Disappointing. Not only did I need to wait 3 days to get the cable, only to find the representative ordered the wrong item, which set my work behind even longer, then I had to take it to the store to get a refund. If someone does not know what is needed, I would prefer that they say that instead of wasting my time, efforts and funds.

Life made easy
Since I connected a second monitor, thanks to Startech USB2VGAE2, I tripled my poductivity. I am a professor, and it was so easy reviewing student papers on one screen and posting my comments and grades on another screen. Now, I do not have to open and close windows, like before.

I needed a USB2-VGA adapter and your sales staff got me the exact item needed. It enabled me to project the PowerPoint presentation without any problem! Thanks

Fair for the price
Easy installation but because it is hooked up to the USB ports you cannot utilize your monitor's full resolution. So I have two 27" monitors connected to the computer that are at high resolution and the other two 27" monitors hooked up thru the USB ports using these adapters are at their highest resolution available which is about 1/4" inch difference in my charts align...

It doesn't work with Windows 7
I only tested this with Windows 7 SP1. My laptop is an HP HDX. After I installed the driver, the Gadgets utility, Windows Live Mail 2011 and IE 9 would not run. Office 2010 ran fine. The screen resolution would only give 1650x850. When I (normally) connect my external monitor directly to my computer's VGA port, I can get 1920x1200 on my 27" external monitor.
