Windows 8 Issue

DrummerJDM · 11-02-2012, 10:54 PM

Ever since I installed the DisplayLink driver on my Windows 8 machine I have been having issues with using Netflix the W8158 error about a graphic drive update required. I also cannot play Diablo 3 in full screen as I can no longer create a Direct3d device. I will uninstall the software and driver and reinstall my Intel HD 4000 device and see if the issue resolves. I have NVIDIA Optimus technology so I have the 640M LE and the Intel 4000. I hope an update is developed soon to resolve this issue.

Diablo 3 will now work in full screen after uninstall, however Netflix just opens to a blank screen in Windows 8. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it.

Oh I should also let you know that I'm using the Targus USB 3.0 Dock with Power with the ability to add 2 displays.

Interesting, i seem to have a similar setup. I'm running an XPS-15 with Intel 4000 and Nvidia 640m gt gfx cards. Im using the non-powered targus usb 3.0 dock with windows 8 but i cant get the displays connected to it to show up at all. Did you upgrade to windows 8 or was this a clean install?

It was a clean Windows 8 install. The only thing I can suggest is let Windows find the driver rather than download it. I'm still trying to figure out as to why this driver breaks not only certain windows 8 apps but also Direct 3D.

Bump. Any update on this? It is becoming cumbersome to uninstall displaylink every time I want to play a Direct3d game.
