Win 7 X64, Nvidia and DisplayLink problem

I have the same. Cannot turn aero on since my nVidia card is disabled after installing DL drivers. Also I cannot view pictures or anything that has with explorer to do. And if I reboot, my resolution can be no higher than 1280x720 due to the DL drivers and my gfx disabled. Uninstall DL and reboot and everything is back to normal again. And if I try to play video on my 2nd screen(displaylink) it freezes. Though if I rightclick an icon on my main screen, it will run as long as the icon is rightclicked. So I just leave it rightclicked and I can watch my projector. I get a bit bad fps on it though. And when Im done, I have to uninstall the drivers again and rebot to be able to do anyhing else on the computer. This cant be that I have to do so everytime Im going to use it?

I mainly bought it for films and for the upcoming hockey worldcup and ofc the UEFA Euro and such.

This thread hasnt been updated in a while, any solutions that Ive missed?

Ive got:
Win7 x64, latest updates.(US version)
nVidia GTS 250, updated aswell.
Displaylink with 5.6.31854.0

As for hardware(which has nothing to do with it what I can see)
AMD Phenom II 965 X4 @ 3,4GHz
4Gb RAM @ 1600MHz
nVidia GTS 250 1Gb GDDR3
2Tb of diskspace

Any help appreciated.

I do live in Sweden if that matters in any way.
