DWM (Desktop Windows Manager) Crashing

pratthinds · 02-12-2013, 01:02 PM

DWM, which handles aero effects and most of the fancy helpful features of Win7 crashes immediately after loading. I am running the latest drivers for both my DisplayLink (an EVGA UV+ 19) and my NVidia 8500 on my Win 7 64bit Pro desktop. DWM used to work fine with the to graphics adapters but after I think the DisplayLink 7.0 driver update DWM crashes all the time. I have tried various driver combinations and so far the only way to get DWM to work again is to completely uninstall the DisplayLink drivers.

I had hoped the next DisplayLink update would solve all of my woes. Now, I am thinking about going back to two monitors and ditching the USB add-on.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks!
