I seem to have the same problem, the adapter is not selectable. Win 7 x64, HP EliteBook 8740w, HIS Multi-View II.
This problem is the same for driver version 5.5 and 5.6.
However, if the DVI connector for the monitor is unplugged during booting, then the adapter becomes selectable.
So that is what I do: I unplug the DVI connector from the adapter, boot the machine and then plugs in the DVI connector for the monitor. Then everything works. I have to reset the screen resolution for the extra monitor after booting, but I can live with that... for now...
