I just purchased the UGA-125. I am using with vista 64 bit. Windows did not recognize the device so I tried loading the driver from the CD rom. I get a box that says I need to update the OEM drivers for my graphics card.
Can you tell me how to do this? The graphics card I have is the original that came with the system.
Hi RJ,
Thanks for contacting us! Yes, DisplayLink’s drivers require that the native WDDM drivers be running on your main graphics controller (because they integrate with and use your main graphics controller for rendering on Vista and Windows 7).
So let’s figure out why that’s not already the case on your system.
Could you gather two pieces of info to post here?
* Run WIndows’ msinfo32 program and select System Summary->Components->Display and copy/paste that info it returns here
* And also post the laptop make and model
From that, we should be able to figure out what GPU and driver version you have, so we know whether your main GPU can be upgraded to run a native WDDM driver.
Thanks for you patience!
Bernie
Thank you for your quick reply.

It worked!. Just another quick question. After my computer comes out of hibernate, the default seems to be MIRROR mode not stay in EXTEND mode. Can you tell me how I can set the default to stay in EXTEND mode so I don’t have to keep changing it back?
Thank you.
Great! Glad to have you up and running!
On mirror/extend: Windows 7 will remember your last setting, but it ties them to a specific monitor. If Windows seems to be forgetting, it may be because it’s not able to read monitor model & serial # (from EDID) to save settings.
You can verify if this might be happening by looking in the Windows “Screen Resolution” control panel, and see if it’s listing a specific make & model for your monitor, or if it lists a generic monitor name.
If this is it, switching to digital DVI (white) cable won’t have this problem, also a shorter VGA cable can help.
If it’s not, let us know - may be something else. As a suggestion, on Win 7 the Windows-P hotkey combination pops up a quick menu that makes switching between mirror/extend very fast and easy.
Hope that helps. Thanks again!
Bernie
Hi RJ,
It’s great that it’s a desktop, because that makes it more likely that you’ll be able to get updated drivers directly from nVidia (on laptops, the makers often restrict the ability for nVidia’s standard/generic drivers to work).
To do that, can you go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index… and select Option 2 “Automatically find drivers for my nVidia products”.
Does this offer you an updated driver, and if it does, after installing it and re-trying DisplayLink’s driver install how does it go?
If any problems crop up, we’ll figure out next steps.
Thanks for your patience!
Bernie
