I have Vista and this item didn’t work with it. I would always get Device has been disabled error. Returned the item.

It works as advertised.
I needed this because the external VGA port on my laptop stopped working for some weird reason (???). This IOGear saved me from having to do an expensive laptop repair, instead I just use this little device when I need to do presentations on an external monitor.
I have Windows Vista, and it works fine. There’s a little bit of flakiness – some occasional driver warnings pop up – but I just ignore them and the device seems to work ok.
Don’t count on it having a fast enough refresh rate for video games, but for showing PowerPoint screens, it’s just fine.

I have it plugged into my laptop dock. When installed and running, it is fine. The problem I have is that when it is plugged into the dock, it prevents my system from undocking. It throws up a “you cannot eject your computer error” and specifically mentions the IOGEAR device. Tech support suggested that I plug it directly into the laptop. When I tried to explain that this idea defeats the purpose of a dock, they just repeated their suggestion. They also suggested I load the driver into the dock and not the laptop. I still don’t understand that one… Tech support is definitely not there.

I tried both the included CD and a newer download from IOGear. The installation software kept asking for a later version of graphics support for my Toshiba laptop. Neither MS nor Toshiba has one. IOGear support kept reading the instructions back to me. A worthless and frustrating experience. I returned the adapter unopened so I don’t know if it works well for other folks.

IOGEAR USB external video card works far better than expected! My company provided Lenovo X61s laptop only supported 1 external monitor when docked. After installing this external Video card, I now have dual monitors on my desk. It’s totally seamless with no speed degradation or loss of video quality. However, under Vista, the Aero Glass and Windows Flip 3D is not supported, or at least not yet. That’s a small price to pay for having an additional monitor. You do need Admin rights to install the drivers. I do recommend always pulling the lasted drivers from the website before installing.
Bottom line…works great, easy to install, and is a true value.
