I have windows 8.1 and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 280. The DisplayLink driver 7.5. works EXCEPT, the Nvidia Control Panel v 7.6 crashes or only shows two pages and not all the other pages. when i unplug my Monitor that uses the DisplayLink software the NVidia control panel works fine. When the USB monitor is attached everything works fine EXCEPT the NVidia Control Panel.

I worked with Nvidia support and they concur that the issue is with the DisplayLink drivers for the monitor that is connected to the USB using the DisplayLink software.

on this forum somewhere, i saw a .reg file with a fix, but it was for windows 7 only. the only reason i am using the USB monitor is because i used to have two video cards in my computer, but a friend needed a card so i took one out and gave it to him and i bought the USB connection with the DisplayLink software assu8ming there would be no issues. i do not regret this action, but now i am in stuck.

i checked all the usual places on my computer and DisplayLink is installed correctly, but when the monitor is attached the NVidia Control panel crashes. when it is not attached the NVidia Control Panel works fine. I have attached the DisplayLink Support file zip to this post. please, can someone, anyone have a fix for this??
