Targus ACP70EU not working

[shawaj]

Hi there,

I have just purchased a Targus ACP70EU

I plugged it in for the first time and it installed the drivers, with a little display link icon in the taskbar.

I then proceeded to plug in a display. The screen on my laptop flashed, and in the displays section of the control panel the display was showing, however no video signal was being fed to the external monitor. I checked in device manager and there was a USB display drivers section showing, as well as a USB hub and some other new things too.

I then rebooted both the PC and the device to see if that might fix the problem. It didn't. I checked again in device manager and the USB display drivers section is no longer showing and the displays section of control panel doesn't recognise the display being plugged in at all anymore.

This is with windows 8.1 fully updated and the 7.6 M2 display link software. Laptop is a dell inspiron 15 7000 series

I have tried everything I can think of... Uninstalling and Reinstalling multiple times, trying different versions of the software and nothing has worked.

I have tried with two different monitors and they both work fine when plugged in direct from the PC.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
