I'm using the nVidia 260.99 (8.17.12.6099) drivers on a GTX-460 and DisplayLink 5.4.28638 software for a DoubleSight DS-70U. I previously had 5.5.27797 installed, but uninstalled and rebooted before installing 5.4 M1. This is on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 box.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 seems to play fine in this combination on my HDMI display. However Windows Media Center only shows a window border around an otherwise black screen in windowed mode or a completely black screen in fullscreen mode (on either my primary or USB monitor). When I uninstall DisplayLink it works fine. Rolling back to the nVidia 258.96 drivers resolves this issue when either version of DisplayLink is installed.

Let me know if I can provide more detailed information to engineering on this. I can also help test any pre-production engineering releases if you want.

Thanks!

EDIT: Also, according to GPU-Z, CUDA and PhysX are disabled when DisplayLink is installed.
