2 external monitors with bootcamp and windows 7, worked but not now - confused

Please help!!!

I recently had 2 monitors connected to my macbook pro 17 (2009) via usb using displaylink, within bootcamp on windows 7. Everything was working perfectly but unfortunately i had to update my failing hard drive and reinstall everything.

Now i cannot replicate the setup at all. When i try to install displaylinks it says my display graphics drivers are not supported but i guess they must have been at some point as it was working!!!

I have tried to use windows to update drivers but it doesn't complete and just hangs.

At one point i had a nvidia driver installed but it had a crashing issue, i think i managed to have not installed these this time as the standard vga graphics adapter is showing and its been working perfectly.

So i guess im looking for a way of getting to where i was with my setup as i know its possible!

Any help much appreciated
