Windows 8 + DisplayLink = No Video

I was given a ThinkPad USB dock/station to try today to show that the Surface Pro could support multiple monitors (a condition to be considered for our next hardware rollout) and I had to manually install the DisplayLink drivers, which worked perfectly. However when I un-plugged from the dock and tried to run a video using the Xbox video it tosses an error message that only went away after I uninstalled the DL software.

A solution to this would be great as it would allow us to look at both the Pro and the DL docks as options for our sales field.
