Problems with Nvidia Driver 260.89_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_international_w hql
Hi!
The new Nvidia Driver 260.89 is not compatible with Displaylink 5.5. With both installed, games like Dawn of War 2, Mafia 2 and Dragon Age Origin won't start. After uninstalling of displaylink all games work. I had to roll back to Nvidia Driver 258.96 to make my system work again with Displaylink. I'm running Win7 64bit Home Premium Last edited by Pawel; 12-06-2010 at 09:28 AM. |

Thanks for raising this guys. We'll try and reproduce and hopefully have a fix. Looks like NVidia have changed something in their driver that is causing issues.
Thanks Wim |

I'm getting a similar thing with my 7" Lilliput monitor. I get to the login screen, enter my password, and the system hangs. I have to uninstall my 7" monitor to get into the system. I have a GTX 470 with rev 260.99 drivers.

Same for the 260.xx 32bit nVidia drivers.
NO 3D-Game can be run. Sadly, Call of Duty - Black Ops only runs on 260.89, 260.99 with 3D-Vision. |

Same problem here, I have 260.99, GTX 460, Windows 7 64-bit
I can't even play videos, all my videos (MP4, AVI, MKV...) are not playable anymore Only solution is to uninstall DisplayLink software |

I am going to return this item for a full refund. Wim responded on October 20th, and today, November 13th, we still don't have a solution. I like the Display Link idea, but I am not willing to wait 3 months after Nvidia releases a driver update to use this software This is why companies loose money and sales, because people that happily pay $160 for a solution that should work, return the item to the store after realizing they have to wait 3 months or so each time Nvidia releases new drivers. Unfortunately, drivers from Nvidia are crucial for new games. For example, games like Call of Duty Black Ops play horribly on a PC, so we're waiting for a patch or a driver update. I am not going to stop playing Call of Duty Black Ops for 3 months because DisplayLink doesn't releases an update It's unfortunate that software destroys the good things that hardware does |

Hi All
We have just released v5.4 M1, which contains a fix for this NVidia problem. This was the first release we could have delivered this fix in, and we've done it in under a month from it being first reported. Please let us know if this fixes the issue. The fix will also be in v5.5 M1 released at the end of November. Thanks Wim |
