Did a full reboot between every uninstall-install step.
Can you please tell me if other programs that use DirectX (Call of Duty Black Ops, Fallout New Vegas, Battlefield Bad Company 2... work ok?)

I returned my item to the store, I really don't like something messing with my DirectX

plus, Display Link never helped me solve my issue, I solved the issue myself, I discovered how to run VLC, so the tech support is pretty lame

However, I was indeed impressed by the technology, so who knows, maybe I'll give it another try next month

Please post your experience here with DirectX applications (players, games...)

I appreciate your support, I might buy the item again in December if the issues are fixed

Now, for the record A CHEAPER SOLUTION is to buy

HDMI to CAT6 adapter
sells for $45 in Amazon
75 feet of CAT6 sell for $8 at amazon

I am going to do that, I have no problem going to Home Depot, and installing small clips that will hook my wires to the corner of my walls, making the white CAT6 cable almost invisible to the eye

Then I don't have to worry about adding another layer of software that will prevent me from enjoying my current games, etc, etc

So far my experience with Display Link is negative

plus cable is rock solid quality and sound
