Issue with Atlona AiR 3, Displaylink Driver on Mac OS 10.6.6

[Ben]

Hey guys,

We just came up with the latest driver last week which supports Apple's latest OS, 10.6.6. You can download this driver from here http://www.atlona.com/downloads/MAC%...%20support.zip

You may also download and install DisplayLink driver from here http://www.atlona.com/downloads/Disp...er%201.6b3.zip

If you have older MAC drivers installed on your computer, first need to uninstall old version by using OLD installation file and choosing UNINSTALL. After each process, software will ask you to restart the computer; please install/uninstall one driver out of the time and restart your computer.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi Ben,

I was thrilled to hear that you had a driver update as I am on 10.6.6. I have tried following your instructions and remembered to restart between all uninstall/install actions. But my Mac still crashes when inserting the HDAiR.

I have to say that I am uncertain of the success of uninstalling the old WUSB driver as the uninstall dialogs have very little information and after entering credentials and pressing ok the window just closed without announcing any result.

I thought you might be able to see on my error code what is wrong - please advice:
