Yes, "Displaylink Core Software" and "DisplayLink Graphics" are both listed in Control Panel's "Program and Features", both version 7.3.49122.0. I installed the latest software available ("DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows", version 7.3M1).
Is the DisplayLink service running?
Yes, it's running and starts automatically.
Does the USB device appear in device manager?
