I am wondering if the blue screen that we are encountering with another laptop is caused by the DisplayLink Driver 6.3 also. It is a Dell Latitude E6500 with an NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 160M and WIN7/32.

The user's hard drive crashed (a separate issue) and Dell sent us a new one. I rebuilt the hard drive...everything fresh and clean with Windows 7 32-bit, and I put the latest DL driver on there and had the hardest time getting the three monitors to setup correctly, but eventually it worked when I switched them from a standard ePort docking station to an extended ePort docking station.

However, not soon after that, the user started experiencing intermittent BSOD. At first I thought that the display driver was crashing with the Vipre virus software, so I updated the display driver from NVIDIA, but then it continued to crash with other software or with nothing running at all. I ended up giving them a different computer and I have this one at my desk trying to figure out the cause. I have now uninstalled the DL 6.3 driver and it blue screened after I removed it! It definitely had an error message that stated something about the display. We will see if removing it resolves the blue screens. I hope so.
