This is what I had to do with my Surface Pro too...it took me a couple times, to get it figured out...and a few weird things happened BEFORE it would all work...(flickering screen, blank screen, etc)...but NOW (fingers crossed) I can play both Netflix and XBox Videos...

My suggestion: CREATE A RESTORE POINT first!

Also, I have a Thinkpad 3.0 Dock.

I AM STILL GETTING the laggy mouse though when I move it quickly (Logitech USB). A fix is in order still...but keep video please


PS...DEVS...I sent a "nasty gram" yesterday, before you posted the newest update (timing is everything!)...I think I was a little cruel, and out of character, sorry!

Yes - after upgrade you will need to reboot before metro video works. Hopefully this will solve it for users that still have the same problem.

Surface Pro, Netflix Metro app worked from the start. Purchased a Toshiba DynaDock dock. Installed drivers from CD included. Updated to latest drivers available from Toshiba (April 3rd or 4th, I think). Netflix does not work, same W8158 error. This is from home, via a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, and the Surface display. The Dynadock is at work. I've rebooted a number of times since installing the latest Dynadock drivers. What is the next step?

Ok, just found the latest drivers, DisplayLink_72M0 and that fixed my Netflix issue. I had DisplayLink_71M1 prior to this morning.

And now Pinball won't launch, it launches the splash screen then silently closes. Same with "Skymap Free". Awesome.
