Part V. Frequently Asked Questions
This chapter lists a series of frequently asked questions concerning the operation of the
ScreenBeam components.
Note: Go to http://www.actiontec.com/screenbeam to access any FAQs created or updated
after the publication date of this manual.
I’ve inserted the software CD into the CD-ROM drive, but it doesn’t install. What
should I do?
In Windows Explorer, browse to the CD-ROM drive (e.g., D:), then locate and double-click
the Setup.exe file.
My laptop computer does not have a CD-ROM drive. How can I install the
ScreenBeam Wireless Display software?
If your computer doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive, go to the following link:
http://www.actiontec.com/products/sbupdate.php. You will need information from the sticker
on the bottom of the Receiver. Once you have entered the information, download the
software as indicated on the web page.
The ScreenBeam Wireless Display software can’t launch– it says it can’t find a USB
Transmitter. How can I solve this?
First, if the display software doesn’t launch, wait about a minute before trying anything else.
Then, unplug and plug the Transmitter back in, and try launching the display software again.
If that doesn’t work, open the Windows Device Manager and make sure the ScreenBeam
Transmitter is NOT disabled (locate it under Network).
Should I be concerned if Windows’ firewall or anti-virus software warns that
ScreenBeam is trying to open a port?
ScreenBeam requires Windows to temporarily open a port to stream content to the TV. Click
Allow when the message appears. Some antivirus software settings can be more restrictive
than others, and you may not get a notification at all. If you are using anti-virus software and
ScreenBeam is not operating properly, you may need to temporarily disable the anti-virus
software, and re-enable it after using ScreenBeam. If the problem persists, consult your
anti-virus user guide to configure the proper settings for ScreenBeam.
I cannot detect the Receiver from my laptop computer using the ScreenBeam
Wireless Display software. What’s wrong?
First, make sure the Transmitter is connected to the USB port. Then, select Add a receiver
and try again.
My laptop/PC displays the following message: “Color scheme has been changed.” Is
this a problem?
17
No. Select Keep the current color scheme and don’t show this message again.
ScreenBeam receiver displays a screen that seems to be larger than my TV can
handle. How can I fix this?
Right-click the ScreenBeam icon in Windows’ Notification Area at the bottom right of the
desktop. A menu will appear. From the menu, select Preferences, then adjust the screen
size.
Why is my laptop/PC’s audio muted once I connect to ScreenBeam receiver?
It is muted because the audio is now being broadcast through the TV.
Why am I experiencing stuttering video and out-of-sync audio?
If this occurs, make sure your system meets the recommended requirements for optimal
video playback experience. You can also place the ScreenBeam Receiver in an open space
and try again. If running your laptop on battery, make sure its power settings are configured
for “Maximum Performance” or plug-in your laptop’s power cable.
My video quality is poor, or I’m seeing a mosaic display on my HDTV. What should I
do?
First, make sure the laptop/PC meets the recommended system requirements. If you’re
seeing constant mosaic picture/video display, disconnect and then reconnect the
ScreenBeam components.
When viewing video, sometimes I see a horizontal line appears across the screen.
What should I do?
This may occur when you use Windows Media Player to play video. You may try another
video/media player application to resolve this issue.
How can I update my ScreenBeam Wireless Display software?
Open the ScreenBeam Wireless Display application. Right-click the ScreenBeam Wireless
Display icon in the Notification Area and select Check for updates…. Make sure the
laptop/PC is connected to the Internet.
Why am I unable to play a DVD or Blu-ray disc when connected to a ScreenBeam
receiver?
Currently, ScreenBeam USB Transmitter and Wireless Display software do not support
streaming of protected content such as DVD/Blu-ray movies, TV shows, etc.
What should I do if the ScreenBeam Wireless Display software cannot connect or pair
with a Receiver?
Reboot the laptop and power cycle the Receiver. Also, try selecting a different wireless
channel before connecting. To do this, from the Add a Receiver screen, click the wireless
channel drop-down menu, then select a different wireless channel.
