Dell Inspiron stopped detecting monitor thru DisplayLink

[JoeL]

My Dell stopped detecting an external monitor connected to it through a Display Link Adapter. I had to do this because the monitor does not have a HDMI connection to fit into the HDMI port on the Dell.

Display Link had installed and ran the external monitor connected through it to my Dell without any problems until it stopped working.

This happened after I pulled the USB cable out of the port. When I put the USB back into the port, the Dell would not detect the external monitor. When I click on "Detect" in the Screen Resolution" dialog box that changes the settings for external monitors, it says "Another display not detected".

The USB cable is connected into a port on the computer - not through a hub.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Display Link drivers with no success

I downloaded the Display Link Support Tool and it found all the right things that were supposed to be there. The system compatibility tool showed everything as it should be.

I have another monitor with a HDMI cable and it works fine on the Dell.

Any suggestions on how to get the Display Link adaptor working would be appreciated.

Regards,

Joe
