We have eight Windows 7 workstations that use DisplayLink adapters to drive their 2nd LCD monitor. All of them have issues with video blanking, draw in and flickering on the DisplayLink driven monitor. Sometimes it seems Windows Picture and Fax Viewer causes it. Other times, it might be Excel or Outlook.

Workstation Specs:
Dell Optiplex 740 chassis
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Office 2010 Beta
AMD Athlon X2 Processors
Onboard Nvidia video
6 GB RAM
80 GB HDD
5.4b DisplayLink driver
Various DisplayLink adapter brands - Diamond BVU160, Monoprice, EVGA, IOGear

I've tried the latest WHQL drivers from Nvidia 257.21 and also Nforce drivers 15.49. Neither seem to make any difference.

We have plenty of Windows XP 32-bit workstations that don't have these issues.
