I have exactly the error that Mark reports -

I get the message 'Direct3D renderer creation error:' when starting a game (such as Wizard101) if the DirectLink software is installed.

There is no need to have the USB to VGA device plugged into the laptop.

If I uninstall the DisplayLink Core, then the game works again (but the multiple monitors do not work).

Setting that the WizardGraphicalclinet.exe uses integrated graphics (instead of NVidia) doesn't affect the failure.

Setting so the game doesn't use full screen doesn't affect the failure.

Uninstalling and reinstalling between tasks is quite tedious.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate, Nvidia GeForce GT 640M LE with latest drivers (as of 11/2013) , and DirectX version 11.0, and latest DisplayLink software.

I have gathered the DisplayLink support files and will send them to someone from Support; posting them here seems to be giving too much information to the world. It is interesting that you have a basic encryption on the DisplayLink logs; but that all of the details of my laptop and what programs are installed and when you gather in plaintext; and hence if I posted them all could oggle my fine machine's specifications
