Skype video causes monitor to freeze

Windows 7 Pro SP 1, Lenovo M91p, DVI and VGA monitors, and Plugable USB adapter running current (7.5) DisplayLink software. When I get a Skype video call (on the VGA monitor, not the DisplayLink one), the DisplayLink monitor freezes EVERY TIME, I am forced to reboot, and the system basically crashes if I leave it for long enough ... otherwise I have to force power off the PC.

This has been going on for almost 2 years ... I keep expecting to see others with this problem ... having Skype video and a display link driven monitor is not an unusual combination.
