I have a Dell XPS12 running windows 8.1 and the latest DisplayLink_7.7M4.exe. I recently upgraded from 7.4M2 installed. I removed DisplayLink Core and ran the removal tool per the instructions on the support site, then reinstalled 7.7M4 but still have this problem.
I have only one external monitor connected to a D3000 with ethernet, keyboard, mouse and audio.
My monitor is on a stand that is "above" where I place my laptop, so I position the monitors in the Windows "Screen Resolution" program vertically (external monitor is "above" laptop screen). However, whenever Windows goes into its screen save (after some inactivity), it's like Windows 8.1 "forgets" the screen setup. All my open windows get moved to my laptop's monitor, and/or the monitors are moved back to the default placement in "Screen Resolution" -- as if my laptop were to the left of my external monitor.
It's worth mentioning that I take my laptop to my classroom which has a HDMI input that I use twice a week. In those cases, the monitor setup should be horizontal (as the default).
How can I revert to the previous version of the software (it seemed to be less trouble). When I downloaded that software and ran it, it tells me that the DisplayLink software is already up to date. Do I first have to remove the old version?
