How to run installation CD for second monitor?
- by dobsoft
I am running ubuntu 14 off of a live USB. I have a second monitor that I would like to use while using ubuntu. It has an installation cd that you have to install before using, and when I click on the .exe file the Archive Manager tries to open it and says an error occurred while loading the archive. Thanks for the help.
Edit: additional information
It just doesn't show up when when I'm in the display settings area. I press the locate(name is probably something else) monitor button too. I know it needs the CD because when I was using it with Windows it didn't work until I went through the installation process on the CD. If ubuntu doesn't use .exe files is there a way to use the CD still?

I connect it to my computer using a VGA cord which is connected to a j5create VGA to USB adapter.
Not sure if this helps: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
