"Could not connect to DisplayLink"

It seems to be working now. I think it wasn't working because of a perculiarity with my system - I use Bartender so the Airplay icon is usually hidden - preventing the DisplayLink Helper from doing its job in a timely manner when the displaylink device was plugged in.

All working now - one extra screen is better than none!

I'm having the same issue. Any other theories why it suddenly just started working for you? I too have followed the directions to the letter and am still receiving the error "Could not connect to "DisplayLink"".

I’m still having this issue intermittently. I can’t really figure it out. Sometimes unplugging and plugging it back in quickly works. But not for me right now.. pretty irritating.
