Windows 2k8r2 (win7) + uv39 + NEC 3.0 Drivers won't install

Windows will not install them based on a directory search where driver files are located. However one can force-ably (browse all) install the correct drivers, but windows/DisplayLink won't initiate the device. The device would just sit pretty in Device Manager, but won't actually be functional. Moreover Windows will also tell you these are the incorrect drivers even though the drivers applied are based on the he HardwareIDs.

The two uv39 devices work fin on OSX. They also function on other machines. I am starting to think its related to USB3.0 Chipset and our hardware issue with my motherboard. Hopefully someone from Display Link eventually gives me some service, especially since i now own six of their devices. Eventually i will change my development/gaming workstation/server to a different OS. Or maybe get bored and install Windows 7 on another drive, and test that; but that is very unlikely. Since Display Link isn't responding, i would rather not put more work into it.
