Cannot remove old usb drivers in Windows 8.1

tsimpleman · 02-03-2015, 04:58 AM

I installed the upgrade to 7.7 as recommended. Now I can't get my second display to work. I keep getting the message that old drivers need to be removed. As I found out in past experience the directions were lacking. Based on the instructions given from the website, I was not able to find any old drivers but cannot load the new ones.

Have you tried the cleaner from here to remove previous installs, then try installing again?

I did as asked and continue to get "Displaylink has detected USB graphics sotware installed from a different vendor. This software is not compatible with Displaylink USB graphics software and must be uninstalled before DisplayLink software can be installed

Everything worked before I tried the upgrade

It would help if you gave instructions based on Windows 8.1 instead of the older versions of windows too

I am so frustrated with your software. I have work to do and then run into this type of thing that requires time I don't have
