hi, Wim.
Before i upgraded to v6.3, i couldn't see the screen. Now i can. i can see the screen but it keeps flickering. one moment is off and the next moment is on, then again and again..... i managed to make the log file, because i could see icons on the screen during that "ON"-time. but no one could see the screen no more that 5 secs. Eyes would hurt.
it's quite descriptive???
the thing is that i could see the screen just when i installed display link from the little DVD from the package, but then windows 7 will update it straight away to the newest version.
i want to stick with the old version from the DVD. Any solution to that???

Can you post the log file. I think I might know what the problem is, but want the log file to check before I guess.

Thanks for the logs. This does look strange. The log shows that we are receiving lots of mode change events from the OS from an "unknown process" (which means the task ended before we could find out what caused the display change event). It looks like there is some 3rd party software trying to manage your display layout and desperately trying to change the desktop layout, which is causing lots of events in our driver and not surprisingly flashing the screen.

I've never seen this before so I don't know for sure what is causing it. However could you try disabling the NVIDIA service and see if this helps? If not, do you know of anything else you have installed that could change display settings? I see you have many programs installed.

Thanks

Wim
