Windows 8 Issue

DrummerJDM · 11-03-2012, 12:12 AM

Diablo 3 will now work in full screen after uninstall, however Netflix just opens to a blank screen in Windows 8. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it.

Oh I should also let you know that I'm using the Targus USB 3.0 Dock with Power with the ability to add 2 displays.

Interesting, i seem to have a similar setup. I'm running an XPS-15 with Intel 4000 and Nvidia 640m gt gfx cards. Im using the non-powered targus usb 3.0 dock with windows 8 but i cant get the displays connected to it to show up at all. Did you upgrade to windows 8 or was this a clean install?

It was a clean Windows 8 install. The only thing I can suggest is let Windows find the driver rather than download it. I'm still trying to figure out as to why this driver breaks not only certain windows 8 apps but also Direct 3D.

Bump. Any update on this? It is becoming cumbersome to uninstall displaylink every time I want to play a Direct3d game.

We have reproduced the issue with Diablo III and looking into a fix for this in a future software release. The Netflix issue is open and we're trying to reproduce.

Thanks for the update as for the Netflix issue I'm really not sure why but even after I uninstall Displaylink I still can't use it however the error I receive when it is installed is W8158 that states a graphics driver update is required when attempting to play.
