I plugged it into a USB port, ran the installer and voila! My second monitor (which I connected to the VGA port) works just as well as the one connected to the HDMI port. I don't use sound on this monitor but from a visual standpoint it works great. The display when using Outlook was slanted (like everything is in italics) when I used the computer again on the second day. Since it didn't happen the first day I plugged it in, I figured it had something to do with how the computer was sending data to the USB port; I restarted my computer and now it works fine.
