Partially,
Installed the latest DisplayLink driver, at first sight with no success, but then did the following:
1. go into device manager, selected the faulty device and choose update driver software.
2. search driver software on local pc
3. use select from driver list installed on ...
4. remove the check mark from show compatible hardware
5. find the usb display driver list
6. select from displaylink drivers the one, that matches the hex-code hardware id
7. installed that driver
After that, atleast the video worked as usual, audio didn't. But probably you'll have more luck. For me this issue is of no more interest, because I set up a completely new machine, which has a 4 channel graphic card. One channel over hdmi. Thus I don't need the extra external usb->hdmi device any more.

For others also wondering where to find the hardware-id:
Speaking the truth, it doesn't realy matter which driver in the very long list of DisplayLink driver you select, because effectively they all map to the same binaries. If you didn't un-install old drivers before installing the latest, or updated via microsoft online update, simply select the last one (the one with the highest number), which most certainly will map to the latest driver version installed.
If you want to explicitely select the one, matching the hex-code hardware id:
Open the properties of the faulty device and look at the details pages. In the combo-box select 'Hardware-Id'.

My dual channel StarTech used to work just fine.
I have three older DisplayLink adapters at home that still work.
This is the second DisplayLink device I have tried to plug into this computer in a month that has utterly failed.
I'm pretty sure something is wrong with my computer, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out.

When I pull up the properties for the StarTech, it says "The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28).
I've tried the earlier instructions in this thread to no avail.
If I need to send log files, how do I gather them?
I LOVE DisplayLink products and recommend them to all my geek friends, but I am at my wits end with this problem.
I'm on the verge of a complete reinstall of Windows 7, which I'd like to avoid.

PLEASE HELP!

Spot on thanks, this worked for me. I had exactly the same issue after a driver upgrade.
