monitor not being enabled. Win XP 32 bit
Windows XP 32 bit
We have a terminal with 4 monitors (one of which is the laptop screen). the laptop sits on a dock, which runs a monitor via the VGA port on the back. We also have a Samsung USB monitor. The 4th monitor is a HP LE2201w which is running off of a USB-VGA 165 Plugable. Just the other day it was running fine and all 4 monitors were working. Today the terminal was rebooted and the HP monitor no longer is turning on. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to the newest driver available, and swapped out the Plugable unit with the same model (i have found that doing this has resolved problems in the past in our office). When plugging the unit into the computer, Windows detects it and says its ready for use, but the monitor does not show up in the software or in display properties to be enabled. I have checked to make sure the display link service is running and that it is enabled in device manager. The display link software picks up the Samsung USB monitor just fine, but not the HP monitor that is actually on the Plugable. Where do I go from here? |

Please follow the instructions in http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=269 to provide some logs.
If you can delete the Debug directory in \Program Files\DisplayLink Core first, and just plug in the HP device it will be easier to diagnose. thanks. |

Do you have the zip file of logs as we need this to see if the HP monitor is being detected.
Thanks Wim |

i can tell you the HP monitor is not being detected off the bat. In display properties, it shows the plugable adaptor, but says that there is nothing plugged into it.
What i linked above (system_details.txt) is all that the debugger put out. Should there have been more? |

I have two desktops that are also having this EXACT same issue. Im guessing it is a problem with the USB controller and the driver conflicting.
If there is a second USB controller or bus on the motherboard, then there will not be any issues running multiple plugable adapters. By adding a virtual bus (aka, a external USB hub), the display will be detected just fine, as we have determined on one of our test machines. |

It looks like the software can see the device on the USB bus, but cannot communicate with the adapter. This can happen if the adapter cannot get enough power from the USB bus. Is the adapter connected to a powered USB hub? Does it work correctly i you connect it directly to the laptop?
Thanks Wim |
