Installing Win-XP software on Win7 system?

Windows Vista and 7 need to have a primary graphics card installed for DisplayLink. This is because on these operating systems, we need the GPU to render the desktop. Its not possible just to use the XP drivers, as XP had a completely different graphics architecture.

I'm afraid you're going to need a primary graphics card on this system to use DisplayLink
