Windows 8 issues - USB display adapter

howsard39 · 01-03-2013, 03:54 PM

I had a problem with my Display Link BVU 196 with Windows 8 on a Thinkpad T420 with an NVidia display adapter where, after receiving a Windows Update, the DisplayLink was unusable because all three displays flashed. I fixed it with the following steps:

1. Installed latest BIOS from Lenovo.

2. Installed ThinkVantage System Update 5.01 for Windows 8 (32-bit, 64-bit), 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), now available from Lenovo.

2. Uninstalled the DisplayLink software (from Windows-X > Programs and Features).

3. Plugged in the DisplayLink and let the system reinstall its software.

So after 3 months, I can use three displays again.
