Hi,

I managed to get a new Targus USB 3.0 Dual Video Adapter (Displaylink 3900 based) working in my Lenovo W520 notebook under Windows 7 Pro. My W520 has NVidia Optimus with Quadro 1000m and Intel HD 3000 graphics.

After installing the latest Displaylink software, v6.3, my machine was BSOD, among other woes.

To resolve this, I went into the BIOS, set graphics to Discrete only, and disabled O/S detection. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the Displaylink software.

After that, I rebooted into BIOS, reset graphics to Optimus, rebooted, and everything is working.

I hope this helps.

Best, ZZ
