Wanting to connect a third monitor to my aging Dell D830 laptop. It has 2 monitor outputs (VGA + DVI), and I'd like to add a third via USB

This is the sort of thing I'm looking for ("ST Lab U-480 USB to DVI Adapter: http://www.ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?ItemID=381944

... but it doesn't explicitly support Windows 7 & the manufacturer's site doesn't show any driver updates.

TIA
