DisplayLink against FullScreen Mode

TonyJPG · 11-09-2012, 09:51 PM

Well, I have an Alienware M17X relatively new with nvidia 660m, and I bought a Yiynova 10.1 (a tablet monitor for drawings) at the same time, I install displayLink (needed to use it) and works great, but since then I have problems with some games (not all of them), when I open then, they show some errors, problems with creating graphics, problems with D3D and shaders and stuff, Specifically it happened when the games were executed in fullscreen.

I could live with that, but then I found that more and more games won't start because of this, and some "old" games [2003] can't be forced to a windowed mode, so i bothers me.

I just expend all the afternoon fixing the problem, updating drivers, searching like a degenerate, just to find out that the problem were the DisplayLink drivers... I uninstall them and now everything works great (except my tablet, it needs those drivers).

I hope someone can fix that. It happens to anyone else?

P.S: sorry for my english, I'm spanish.

I just try the v6.2 and they works better for me that the current version.

Just in case it happens to anyone else: try all the drivers!! all the versions!
