I just updated to the lastest DisplayLink drivers, but to no avail. :|

I have the pluggable USB 3.0 docking station with DisplayLink. I'm running Windows 7 x64. When I first boot up, the monitor (typically) works fine. The USB and Ethernet parts always seem to work, but the DisplayLink part fails after I disconnect the docking station and reconnect it later.

I tried things like swapping to a different USB3 port, and even power cycling the pluggable unit. What finally worked just now was going into Services, finding the DisplayLinkManager service, requesting that it STOP (it was listed as "started"), which "failed", but then told it to START, and after that the external monitor lit right up.

So this seems like a DisplayLink driver bug. I would post it as a new issue, but the spammers this weekend are beyond a normal level of ugliness, to the tune of 200+ PAGES of spam in the forum in the last 24 hours.
