why is it so hard for you to bring an xp 64bit driver ?

RTS1000 · 08-26-2009, 10:09 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to setup Asus vw223b on WindowsXP x64, and get next message
"The software for DisplayLink Graphics is not supported onthis operating system version"

Is any way to solve problem? maybe by another version?
Are you going to have release DisplayLink Driver for WindowsXP x64 and when?

Ilya.

Hi RTS1000, as outline in your other thread DisplayLink does not support Windows XP 64-bit.

@Displaylink:
I don't have WinXp 64Bit but why you don't just show a hint at the beginning of the Installation that this OS is not offically supported but the user who wants to install it can continue at his own risk?
I know some programs that work without offical support on offically not supported OS. Have you ever try to run your drivers on XP 64Bit?

Why make a driver for an out-of-date OS that is full of security holes and won't be patched anymore? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

If you upgrade to Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate you can get the free download from MS to enable true Windows XP mode that will run any app designed for XP. It's basically a VM of XP in Win 7. XP in that capacity will still be supported for patches.

This is the power play from Microsoft. Make of it what you wish, but Win 7 is full of pure awesome and has even been reported working on a 386DX in South America. So you might want to upgrade your OS.

xp64 is based on win2003 server - i dont know, where this is so unsecure and/or overaged - only because there is something newer, it hasnt got to be better

btw: the win7/prof/64-driver doesnt run even on my system.. until now, i had only one driver running.. xp32 - for such an expensive card with professional interest.. not acceptable in my eyes

Hi,
I'm running Win XP 64bit because I need to use more then 4GB and secondly my professional applications cannot run in Vista 64bit or Windows 7 64bit.

Please consider posting all setup files seperately, so we can tweak or change at our own risk.

We don't need support, we just need the files.

Thnx for considering this.

As stated in my previous posts, we would only want to consider releasing a fully productized solution. Windows 7 is now our main focus for development and we have no plans for any specific Windows XP work.

I'm a trader and so system stability is crucial for my business, which is why I am still on xp 64-bit and have not yet upgraded to windows 7 due to potential incompatibility issues with my trading software. I'm sure there are many other customers who purchased a product using the displaylink drivers and are disappointed that XP x64 is not supported. There are other solutions, such as the StarTech USB to VGA Multi Monitor External Video Adapter which supports windows xp 64-bit. it's about $50

It would be nice for displaylinks to spend just a couple of hours to release a 64-bit driver on the forum so those of us who have already spent the money for a displaylink driven product can USE IT.

Why make a driver for an out-of-date OS that is full of security holes and won't be patched anymore? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
