It shows me the Displaylink icon in the system tray with an exclamation mark inside. When I click on this, a error message is displayed saying my "USB graphics software is not compatible"

I'm using a EVGA UV Plus+16. Works fine on XP and Win7.

You need to install the latest driver for your graphics card. It's currently using the Microsoft inbox driver:

Graphics: Microsoft Basic Display Adapter ((Standard display types))
Graphics Driver: 6.2.9200.16384 Dated 2006/06/21

Well, I got my monitor to at least turn on, but now it is blank with a mouse pointer in the middle. I uninstalled the display link software, restarted, plugged the device in, and let Windows get the drivers themselves. This installed properly, restarted my computer, and now my monitor turns on but I just have a mouse pointer in the middle of it. My other HDMI monitor works just fine, but the USB-to-HDMI monitor doesn't work. This probably has to do with the newest Nvidia Driver, but I am just shooting you an update.
