However Display Link seems to release a new update every month or so I hope some day the issues can be fixed this are MAJOR MAJOR issues (all your DirectX programs stop working properly), so right now all I can say is that I hope these issues get fixed asap I was really discouraged with this technology, I payed for something that was supposed to be better Being late 4-6 months in drivers, not my idea of staying in the Edge |

I'm running in Aero mode, but I noticed when my displaylink drivers/software were installed that it would force me into Basic when I would try to launch VLC or something else using DirectX. It doesn't do that when I have the displaylink drivers/software uninstalled. |

I'm guessing they are not a very large company and it's possible their current software works fine on their test machines. If we can't give them information about our particular hardware, operating system and software it will take longer for them to resolve the issue. |

Experiencing same issue
System details will follow....
I'd like to chime in as a NVIDIA GTX 260 core216 owner that I'm experiencing the same issue between the 260.99 drivers and my displaylink device. I've tried both the 5.4 M1 drivers and the 5.5 drivers, with no relief. I'm still unable to play D3D games with any displaylink drivers installed. I was using a previous version of the NVIDIA drivers (couldn't tell you which at this point, but I updated to attempt to attain better stability with COD:BO) and it was working just fine. As soon as I upgraded to 260.99 I experience an infinite loop of a black screen flashing to desktop, as if it's trying to change resolution but can't and it never stops trying. Uninstalling DisplayLink drivers and rebooting allows the system to act normally and play D3D games. I can also confirm that the VLC trick works for me as well. Thanks for that whoever posted it. System specs: Gigabyte EX58-UD3R motherboard Core i7-920 (stock clock) Nvidia EVGA GTX 260 core216 (stock clocks and 260.99 drivers) 6 GB DDR3 Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Edition DisplayLink device: EVGA UV Plus While far from flawless, I'm generally satisfied with the product and would love to continue using it. |

Hi All
Thanks for helping with this. We have done some investigation, and yes we have found that there is still an issue with the NVidia 260.89 driver. Apologies for this. As this is affecting so many of you, we're doing a fix today, then packaging it up into a release. We need to give this some further testing (to make sure nothing else is broken) and sign the release with Microsoft, so this should be available by 6th December at the latest. It will be v5.5 M1. If you can hold on until this date, then we should have a fix that works for all of you. Thanks Wim |

I have just upgraded video, DisplayLink and VLC software. I don't know if I had a problem before since I didn't try but now I want to make more use of the DisplayLink. I have 3 monitors with the DisplayLink connected via an adapter to an HDMI input. Running XP 32 bit.
VLC is 1.1.5 nVidia is 260.99 DisplayLink is 5.5.27797 WMP plays back AVI's fine on the monitor but no picture playback via VLC. I am guessing that my problem will be fixed with 5.5 M1 when it comes out ? My main use is showing photos and this works okay. Normally I would find other ways to do this but the DisplayLink will also work from a laptop in remote locations hence why I am continuing to play with it. |

Hi All
I've just put v5.5 M1 on the DisplayLink website for download. This should fix the issue with the latest NVidia driver. Thanks Wim |
