I have the same problem. I am constantly getting the "igfxext Module has stopped working module." Here's my story. I have a ThinkPad X220 running Windows 7 using DisplayLink to drive three external monitors using ViBook devices. This setup works flawlessly. I bought a new ThinkPad X230 running Windows 7, installed DisplayLink and now I get this stupid message. I have done everything I know to do -- from re-imaging my hard drive to going down one version in DisplayLink. I've even replaced drivers from Lenovo with the newer ones on their web site. Nothing works. I don't know what igfxext.exe actually does. But I have determined (as least, so far) that if I just erase the error message when it appears, my machine seems to work perfectly. The irritation of the constant error message gets to me, however. Plus the nagging feeling that maybe one day the whole system will die. There's nothing on Intel's site about this problem. There's nothing on Lenovo's site and their people have heard nothing about. This link on the DisplayLink forum is basically the only thing I have found. If anyone has a solution or would like a dialog, my email address is HarryNewton2009@gmail.com. I'd be eternally grateful if someone had an idea.
