I am an idiot.
I finally realized what my issue is. I don't need the Displaylink graphics and core software.
I am not using multiple monitors.
I am running Windows 8 Pro on a nice desktop with a Dell S2340T touch monitor.
The touch functionality works without the Displaylink software. That is what I didn't know until now.
The Displaylink auto installs when you attach the monitor.
The past two months I've been dealing with driver updates from Displaylink and Intel when all I had to uninstall the Displaylink software.
Once I did that, then disabled all Displaylink services and processes, my Win 8 machine is running great.
Netflix, Hulu Plus, NBC News app, Metro Video and Music app, Camera and Maps app...all running great.
No flashing screens, no blue screen...
Wow. And I was about to buy a new XPS 8500 to try and resolve this.
