Unable to use second monitor with my laptop ?

Hi All,

I'm now using HP Elitebook Folio 9470m running on Windows 8.1 Update 1.

I can now use the DisplayPort to output to my first monitor, but the VGA cable port still not running with my second monitor.

I have bought Manhattan USB 2.0 External Graphics Card https://www.usbgear.com/USBG-SVGA-II.html but I still cannot make it detectable by Windows.

See the screenshot below:

Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Monitor 1 and 2 is working with no issue.

When I attach the 3rd Samsung SyncMaster B1940 VGA cable to the laptop, the 3rd Display option still having issue as above.

The Manhattan USB 2.0 External Graphics Card seems not helping either.

ok, here's my situation now:

User generated image
the Laptop builtin graphics adapter is Intel 4000, but somehow the expensive new USB adapter that I bought still not detectable with Windows 8.1

In the website when I bought the USB card it says USB 2.0 External Graphics Card for XP and Vista up to 1920x1200 Resolution I have successfully right click and install the setup.exe as Windows XP SP3 comaptibility mode.

But still not working ?

What can I do with this new USB VGA adapter ?
what sort of issue that may occur ?
