Application not Starting in Windows 8.1

Hi,

I've taken another look at this.

The logs tell me that a monitor / TV has not been detected.

This is why you're not seeing the taskbar based UI run.

Can you try a different video cable and other video ports on the monitor / TV?

Thanks,
James

I initially had the USB-to-HDMI adapter plugged into a USB 3.0 hub I had plugged in. So this time I tried plugging the adapter into the motherboard's USB 3.0 I/O ports directly. The USB adapter had a green light inside of it that turned on signifying that it is receiving power and also I can see on the device manager that it recognizes it. I have a screenshot of the device manager below:



I've tried all the USB 3.0 ports in the back of the computer and still no luck. The only thing I can think of is that my Gigabyte motherboard has an onboard video card (HD4600 Intel) that I disabled in the BIOS because I have an offboard NVIDIA 9500GT card that was causing problems when booting up. Basically, the computer did not like have 2 video cards active so I disabled one.

I don't know if that is the cause of any of the problems but I really can't think of any other reason.

Any thoughts?

Edit: The green light from the adapter does not persist. When I plug it into a USB 3.0 port it blinks green for a second and then goes away. The device manager still lists it but I don't know if the adapter is broken or not.

Hi,

Have you been able to try my suggestions above about other video cables / video ports?

Thanks,
James

Yes, I've tried all the USB 3.0 ports on the hub and all the ports directly on the desktop. None of them work.

Have you tried a different display and video cable? The logs show that no monitor is being detected, which is why you don't see the DisplayLink icon in the tray or any display output.
