Hi,

Do you recall which version of DisplayLink software this was previously working with?

Thanks,
James

I'm not sure of the exact version, but, when I started having the error, I noticed that my driver was dated in June (I assume I had 7.3 M1 installed), and I then noticed that there was 7.4 out, so, I updated to that... I'm going to try installing 7.2 M1 and see if that helps (and will reply here after I try)

BTW - just tried going back to 7.2 M1, 7.1, and back to 7.0 even (after a full uninstall and reboot each), and no dice.

While I was there, I also tried uninstalling all DisplayLink drivers and just trying without any DisplayLink drivers installed, and yes - this allows DirectX games to run in fullscreen mode without error, so, without changing anything else, I'm pretty sure it's the DisplayLink pieces causing the issue.

Displaylink,

I would really appreciate some feedback on the status of this well known issue. My docking station is stored and collecting dust until it's fixed.

Thank you.
