Hi!
I run 4 monitors with the displaylinks adapters. I had them connected to my Dell XPS Studio 16 Laptop. OS is W7 Ultimate (Release Candidate) 64X. Also Vista Home Premium 64X. The graphics card is a ATI Radeon HD 3670 512MB and everyting was running very smoothly no problem at all with both OS...

I just changed it for a new HP Pavillon DV6T Laptop. OS is W7 Pro 64X. The graphics card is a NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M 1GB.
I have the latest version 5.2.21746.0 installed. I’ve tried all previous versions with the exact same results.

Here it is: when the adapters are plugged in, my desktop extend’s to my 4 monitors and I can see them when I right click on my desktop and them choose “screen resolution”, but that's it. I can't open the Displaylink manager and have access to the different options to set the monitors like I want to...

When hover my mouse over the Displaylink icon in the system tray task bar the 4 display’s are there in gray instead of black. Also when I click on the Icon the displaylink manager link is also in gray instead of in black so I can’t open it.

Also when I open the NVIDIA control panel, under set-up multiple displays, it’s only showing me one monitor instead of 4…
So I need help to figure this out and make this work.. Any ideas of what I should do anybody…? Thanks!
