incompatible Drive Driver...Windows 7 RTM

rcorradini · 08-22-2009, 08:24 PM

Hello, I installed the beta on the Windows 7 RTM and I am getting a message of incompatible display driver. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times with the same result. Please advise.

Attached is a screenshot....

I have the same issue. Software appears to install correctly. However, when I boot, I receive the message about an incompatible display driver.

FYI, I am running windows 7 (32 bit) on a X41 tablet with 1.5 gig.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi rcorradini and gibilisco,

Yes this is a new check that we have introduced into this release to check that your PC is compatible with our driver. At present if this message is shown then the DisplayLink software will not run. We are however changing this for the next beta driver.

You will still receive this warning, however you will be able to run the DisplayLink software at your own risk. There still maybe incompatibility issues with certain configurations and applications, however we will not enforce that the driver does not run.

When will the next beta be out?

Unfortunately it will not be possible to overide this check in the beta2 as previously announced. This override is now planned to be available in the RC, which is currently scheduled for Sept 14th. Apologies.

It would be nice if it told me why, its not compatible?
Windows 7 is supposed to be multi video driver friendly.
The way the message is worded, it sounds like its own driver is not compatible with Windows 7?

Well, now I have to wait another few weeks to get my monitor working with Windows 7 RTM...

I'm disappointed to find out that after upgrading to the RTM that there are no drivers for my Mimo 740, what's the hold up with getting the driver live and ready to go?

So let's see if I understand this correctly:

You have made a beta driver for Windows 7 which includes a check which prevents it from being installed in Windows 7.

Don't you think you could have spared yourself the effort?

Especially since you had a perfectly fine working driver for Windows 7 RC?

Wish I had kept that driver, I probably would have a running monitor by now, and would not have to wait for a development team to remove a worthless and unneccesary check which wasn't needed in the first place.

But perhaps I am completely wrong, and you could enlighten me?

Greetz, jack
