When plugging in display link all windows go blank

soyarma · 09-28-2011, 02:10 PM

I'm having an odd issue with a new Windows 7 installation. I installed the drivers and set up my displaylink BVU195 with no problems. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, but then I started having an issue where whenever I plugged in my displaylink all my monitors went blank. Nothing is logged in the event viewer, and the laptop doesn't seem to lock up, though I have to hard reset it to get video back (disconnecting the displaylink doesn't help, nor does trying to put the laptop to sleep).

However, on an identical laptop, the displaylink works fine. Both laptops are running the latest drivers off this site, and both are running the same main video card (GeForce 330M)

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
