Nothing Works. Please Help.

I have the same problem. I purchased a Sabrent USB-HDMI converter. I installed the latest DisplayLink drivers. When I plug in the adapter, Windows XP finds the device and it shows up in Device Manager. The DisplayLink icon does not appear in the tray, nor is it running in the Windows Task Manager.

I am connecting the HDMI to a Sharp Aquos flat screen TV, state-of-the-art with multiple HDMI inputs available. I have swapped HDMI cables and even swapped the USB-HDMI device by sending it in for an exchange. The HDMI inputs on the TV work fine from a Blue-Ray player. I have uninstalled and re-installed the DisplayLink software several times. I even downloaded used the uninstall 'cleaner' because the poorly written drivers do not fully uninstall properly.

Conclusion: The DisplayLink drivers and/or chipset do not function properly as advertised. To the DisplayLink staff: do you guys even test this stuff? Why are the forum pages filled with people who can't get your hardware and software to work properly?
