Windows 8.1 and Lilliput 7" issues

JamesH · 10-19-2013, 09:49 PM

Hi,

I think this is Windows 8.1 behaviour.

Did this happen on Windows 8?

Thanks,
James

Yes, before I upgraded to 8.1 and installed the new drivers, everything was working flawlessly in Windows 8.

Hi,

I *think* this is what was described in this thread (http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61801).

I'll try and check this out this week.

Thanks,
James

I have still have not found a solution. However, I have found that this problem only happens when the USB monitor is set to "Extend Desktop" (even as the main monitor), if I have it set to mirror any of the other screens, the display behaves normally.

Stoney is using an NVIDIA GTX 670 discreet graphics card and I think it might be something specifically to do with this graphics card driver causing the issue.

armaldon - can you confirm what your system details are, especially the graphics card to confirm this is the same issue?

I also do have the same graphics card, Nvidia GTX 670. While on Windows 8, it work fine with the 327.23 driver. After installing Windows 8.1, with the same driver, the monitor problem started. I have updated to the latest driver released yesterday, and the problem still persists.

I also updated to the newest NVIDIA driver yesterday, problem still remains.

A few other observations that might help.

I primarly use the USB monitor to display Rainmeter. When the program settings is on focus, it displays on the monitor, when it loses, the screen becomes dark. While on focus, if I right click on the monitor, nothing happens. Left clicked on it, brings the start screen.

Putting Chrome in that screen, it behaves correctly while it is on focus. When it loses focus, the screen goes dark again.

With the windows explorer windows, they won't show, even if they are on focus.

Thanks for the update. We're buying this card to try and reproduce the problem and fix it.
