I got my th2go 2 weeks back, and i never got it to work with the dvi cable, so i have to use the vga cable, the problem is when i turn off my pc, it wont post to bios until i remove the usb cable, tried hooking it to my lappy and it works sometimes, anyone know of a fix to let th2go work with the dvi cable?

That probably has no to do with your THGo.

Please post your whole system!

Yeah, having some info about your system would be helpful. The USB problem your experiencing has to do with USB 1.0 and 2.0 adapters or USB ports. If you plug a USB 2.0 device like TH2GO or anything that uses USB 2.0 into a 1.0 port then you will get this problem you are having. You might need to get a USB 2.0 card for you machine because the port on your system is probably a 1.0.

DIV works. It could however be how you have your display settings or monitor settings adjusted.

Is your cable a Dual-Link DVI cable?

Is your cable a Dual-Link DVI cable?

Had a bit of a challenge myself when first hooking up TH2Go. Turned out to be my single link DVI cable from a previous monitor I was too lazy to extract from my rat's nest of wiring. :?

Although a warning may exist somewhere, I didn't easily find it and recommend WSGF and/or Matrox provide "DUAL LINK" information in bold and maybe a picture of a dual vs. single link connectors. This would have a saved me a day or so of scratching my head.

The TH2Go comes with appropriate cables though?

The Digital TripleHead2Go comes with:
One 2-foot dual-link DVI cable
One 2-foot VGA cable
One 3-foot USB A-to-B cable

It does not come with 3 additional DVI cables required to connect your 3 monitors to the TripleHead2Go. If you want to put your Digital TripleHead2Go more than 2 feet from your computer, you need your own dual-link DVI cable. Most DVI cables that people have lying around are single-link.
