This happened after I pulled the USB cable out of the port. When I put the USB back into the port, the Dell would not detect the external monitor. When I click on "Detect" in the Screen Resolution" dialog box that changes the settings for external monitors, it says "Another display not detected".
When you connect the adapter to your notebook does the adapter appear under USB Display Adapters in Device Manager?

What if any message appears on the monitor? Does the monitor display a blue/green/amber LED?

The USB cable is connected into a port on the computer - not through a hub.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Display Link drivers with no success

I downloaded the Display Link Support Tool and it found all the right things that were supposed to be there. The system compatibility tool showed everything as it should be.

I have another monitor with a HDMI cable and it works fine on the Dell.
This other monitor works fine when connected through the adapter? Sounds like a monitor issue.

Any suggestions on how to get the Display Link adaptor working would be appreciated.
