This is really disappointing. Thanks to jmeyers for suggesting a fix (even if it did not work), but I had also hoped that one of the Displaylink guys would at least take a look at the logs I attached to my first post to see what is going on and weigh in with some sort of response.
I had bought the Plugable USB display adapter solely to avoid having to buy a new video card with an HDMI out. The old video card I have now (Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS) is sufficient for my purposes (non-gaming PC usage) but it appears unlikely that a fix for whatever is preventing my displaylink adapter from working with the 7900 and Windows 8 is going to be forthcoming anytime soon.
I would've been better off buying a new video card with the $60 that I spent on the usb adapter, it now seems.

By all means, if that's what you're trying to accomplish, see if you can return the adapter and go with the new card, a GT620 (rebadged Fermi) or GT640 (Kepler) card would suffice and most of those models have HDMI.
