System details will follow....

I'd like to chime in as a NVIDIA GTX 260 core216 owner that I'm experiencing the same issue between the 260.99 drivers and my displaylink device. I've tried both the 5.4 M1 drivers and the 5.5 drivers, with no relief. I'm still unable to play D3D games with any displaylink drivers installed.

I was using a previous version of the NVIDIA drivers (couldn't tell you which at this point, but I updated to attempt to attain better stability with COD:BO) and it was working just fine. As soon as I upgraded to 260.99 I experience an infinite loop of a black screen flashing to desktop, as if it's trying to change resolution but can't and it never stops trying. Uninstalling DisplayLink drivers and rebooting allows the system to act normally and play D3D games.

I can also confirm that the VLC trick works for me as well. Thanks for that whoever posted it.

System specs:

Gigabyte EX58-UD3R motherboard
Core i7-920 (stock clock)
Nvidia EVGA GTX 260 core216 (stock clocks and 260.99 drivers)
6 GB DDR3
Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Edition

DisplayLink device:
EVGA UV Plus

While far from flawless, I'm generally satisfied with the product and would love to continue using it.
