Hey thanks for the link. I had been going down the line of older versions, however, I have now gotten SOME success with 6.3... except I'm limited to 800x600... on a 16:10, 28" screen... not in a good mood.

I got all the drivers uninstalled and made sure all the software was cleared with 2 reboots.
Then I made a restore point (I did originally, but there have since been other programs I've reconfigured).
Then I started running down the process of installing, rebooting, attaching the adapter, and then attaching the screen (via HDMI).

Here's how I have it working now:
6.2 worked, briefly. I got a flash of 1920x1200, then the screen died (not blank, I mean it was off), but the status light was blue (orange if no signal = standby).
I could bring the resolution down to 800x600, but it would go blank again after a minute or two.
Reboot.
No screen -> Tray Icon displayed an update -> ran that.
Got some flashes again.
Ran 6.3 installer. This did something terrible to the machine. I have no idea what exactly, but the NVidia driver was killed, and then it kept trying to start again for 4 minutes or so. It finally came back up, though, with a blank DisplayLink screen.
Did some rebooting and fiddling with the connection (unplug/plug) and now I have an 800x600 screen.

The screen work fine. I can connect it to either port of the 560 and get any resolution I can on the other one -> I've got two HANS-G HG281D and a Dell Ultrasharp U3011 in the center.

Gonna keep playing around and looking at the Event Manager. There has to be something causing an issue, somewhere.

EDIT:
WORKING! ~ish
So, I have to listen for the Windows log in screen and log in blind .
I have to CTRL + ALT + DEL, enter my username, TAB, enter password, and hit enter. I occasionally need to wait and hit enter again. It seems like the 560 diver dies at startup and then kicks back in after login... beats me. But it has now survived several reboots and STAYED at 1920x1200. So it's now working... 95% of the time?
I'm running The Dark Knight at 1080p without issue over a USB 3.0 monitor right now!

So... I don't think any of what I've documented here is going to help... anyone. One thing I can tell you is that changing the DisplayLinkManager service's Log on settings to disable desktop interaction did absolutely nothing. So if you've been Googling around and read that somewhere, forget it.

And since I mentioned it in the first post, here's what I have in Task Manager, now.

DisplayLinkManager.exe under SYSTEM
DisplayLinkUI.exe under [my username]
DisplayLinkUserAgent.exe under SYSTEM

To the DisplayLink crew, I'm looking forward to your next update... please stop my blind log-ins!
