No Display Link System Tray Application (or video)

Hi Thirsh,

The logs indicate that there is a usb issue preventing the software from detecting the usb display. Please try changing the cable, or the port on the host.

It seems that Duncan is on to something. If I remove the power supply and then plug it back in, the device seems to register itself as a drive and launches the installer. This was an older version of the driver - it eventually resulted in a message that it is not compatible with my version of windows (7). But, then the DisplayLink Device system tray utility was there and I was actually getting video!

Furthor tested revealed that I can simply cancel the installer and the DisplayLink utility still shows up and works. I can also remove and reconnect the usb cable going to the dock and everything still works.

The only issue is on a reboot - the utility does not run and I get no video unless I disconnect and reconnect the power to the dock.

Martin, you had mentioned changing the port on the host. Do you mean the physical USB port on the netbook that I am plugging the cable in?

Since i have never got any feedback on my e-mail. I'm still having problem with win 7 32 bit. (64bit is working fine)

I do net get any error message. but still do not get any signal on my nimo. The touch works, the rest is black screen.

I attached my log files. Hope you can see something in there.

After reboots, I have to pull the power adapter cord out of the USB dock. Once it's back in, the Displaylink manager starts and video works. Kinda sucks, but at least it's managable.
