Plugged it all back in and now third monitor is up and running. NO CLUE why it came to that, but thought I'd pass along the tip in case it helps others. Will have to see if once it all goes to sleep as I walk away tonight, if all monitors will work tomorrow.

I had this exact same problem with my setup and tried this low tech fix and was amaxed that it worked.

The order I followed:
1. unplugged both monitors
2. unplugged dispalylink hub
3. updated displaylink driver to latest
4. shutdown laptop
5. plugged in displaylink hub
6. plulgged in both monitors
7. turned on laptop

It works. Thanks for the suggestion.
