Not sure if your computer comes with a serial port or hdmi. Mine has hdmi, so I bought an hdmi cable (best option). The serial connector is included.

HDMI or VGA cable will work. If you only have a DVI port, you can get a HDMI to DVI adapter.

Yeah just hook it up with a monitor cable and it will display. Now if not you will need too change on the lap top the display and add a projector. Just know that going from a lap top that all audio will come from the computer. Unless you get a head phone too head phone cable.

I have not hooked a computer up to it yet but everything has been very simple with this projector. I run it off my dish receiver and blue ray with a 16 foot high speed hdmi cord. it has every input you need on the back(computer input,HDMI input,USB,and av inputs

I assume you are using the USB connector. I haven't tried it on Windows 8 but I guess you need an up-to-date driver, if you can find. I had difficulty to make the USB work well on Windows 7 therefore I used the xlr connector and a pre-amp, instead of spending hours to look for and test the USB driver.

Works fine with Windows 8 for me. I did not have to install any drivers. Just plugged in the USB dongle and started using the Air Mouse and Keyboard.

This is only for pcs without a wifi adapter and needs to connect to wifi. If you have a Windows 8 laptop, you probably won't need this.

This card is working for me with no issues in Win8, though I use it for music. Your cable will need to be IEEE 1394 6pin to 4pin and of course you'll need a program to handle the video.

I can't remember what length USB cable comes in the box but you need a Cat 5 (RJ-45 Ethernet) cable if you want a network printer for your Home Group or a USB cable to connect with your computer. It is easy setup for windows 7 or 8.

It's just a cable, no drivers needed. If you need a driver, your computer should be able to find them

I do not use an adapter, but I have windows on one computer and windows eight on another and have no issues.

You need a cable that is 15 pins and a male to male ends. I am using it with my two HDTV and PC monitor.

Just USB cable but it works all good. Need a Computer or lap top with Windows 7 or above and 2.0 GHZ.

Sorry, I do not know anything about that laptop or port. I bought a similar cable, but it was not the correct one. . . .

Should work, I was using once wit win 8.1. But I use other ones, USB 3 to 3xUSB 3 with Ethernet hub by Orico. That I use every day.kt

This is a USB 3.0 powered hub; I do not see any reason why it would not be compatible with Windows 8 (I have Win7).

I'm using it with two laptops running windows 7, it's fine. Haven't tried it with windows 8 though.
