Angry DisplayLink driver - Windows 8.1 - black screen

I made a big mistake by
1) buying a (rebranded) product from DisplayLink (DL-195)
2) upgrading to windows 8.1

Now, I have a useless usb 2.0 cozy and wasted several hours while restarting my machine.
I have read about this several times in the forum: driver & tools installs without errors, windows service runs, but a black screen is displayed (screenshot shows an image)

I tried both 7.4M4 and 7.5M0, no success. I use two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 for two monitors, latest drivers. The third monitor WAS empowered by the DL-195. For obvious reasons I can't deactivate my graphic cards.

Are there any working solutions?
I'm thinking about writing some one-star reviews on amazon…

DisplayLink may not work if there are multiple graphics cards installed in the PC.
Hello,

my setup with two grapic cards and the DL-195 worked fine with Windows 8.
But the Display Link device outputs a black screen on Windows 8.1. My conclusion: you product isn't compatible with Windows 8.1! :-(

Regards,
Johannes

Hi,

Are you running the two Nvidia cards in SLi mode?

Thanks
James
