Win 7 X64, Nvidia and DisplayLink problem

Hi All

OK - sorry for the delay but I've been out of office for a few weeks (the wife has just had a baby) so not been keeping up with this. Looking through the thread there seem to be a number of different issues here, but all related to NVIDIA. There seems to be:

1. NVIDIA Control panel disappearing when DisplayLink software is installed. We need to try and reproduce this and see if its "feature" of NVIDIA graphics when they detect another graphics driver installed or if its something we are doing.

2. dwm.exe crashing when DisplayLink is connected so Aero glass graphics are not available. Larsson - This is on v5.6 M1. Could you try v6.1 M1 and see if you have the same problem?

3. System corruption (Milkdrop). I assume this is on Windows 7? Could you send the log files from your system for this, as this looks like something different again.

Hopefully we can start getting to the bottom of some of these issues, as I don't think they are all down to the same cause.

Thanks

Wim
