I have a custom built AMD desktop with an nvidia gtx 560ti 2gb main gpu.

I have 2 display link usb adapters. This is what is listed in device manager.

DisplayLink Display Adapter (4301)
Plugable usb3-hdmi-dvi
usb to dvi-17

I did a clean install of the nvidia drivers...no display link devices connected or installed...no issues with netflix or any other software. (I am using the netflix app on my main monitor that is connected to my gpu.)

As soon as you plug in the adapter, Windows 8 pops up ver 7.0 of the DisplayLink installer..those drivers result in the mentioned issues with netflix and metro apps not working right.(and other software crashing.)

I removed the old drivers...rebooted..and installed the newest drivers from the DisplayLink Website(7.1 M1)....and same exact issues.

I wish this would be fixed by now...having to go back to 2 monitors instead of 4 is painful...but I can't deal with the issues that DisplayLink is causing me....making me consider replacing my Nvidia gpu with an AMD one that does eyefinity...a trash the Displaylink.
