Just got my: plugable USB2.0 UGA
Error received during install: …please install up-to-date OEM drivers for your PC’s graphics hardware …
I have a: Lenovo W500
Tried to update my: ATI Mobility FireGL V5700
But after auto searching it says: Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date
What can I do next?
I just went to the Lenovo website and installed the latest driver for my machine
But after all that I still get the same error during install: …please install up-to-date OEM drivers for your PC’s graphics hardware …
Any suggestions or will this device simply not work on my machine?
Hi Bram,
Sorry for the delay. We were researching the FireGL V5700 and the results are mixed, unfortunately - poeple have had various troubles over the years, probably owing to this being a specialized card.
Normally, when you see this message (install up-to-date OEM drivers), it’s because it’s an older card that does not have WDDM driver support (necessary for Vista/Win7 Aero).
In this case, it’s something different, as there is a WDDM driver for the V5700.
In particular, there’s one report of a kernel crash on Windows 7 with certain versions of the V5700 driver and DisplayLink 5.6 drivers (here http://www.displaylink.org/forum/show…) and it’s possible DisplayLink is actively trying to detect and not install on that combo.
So to figure out next steps (and if we have a good next step), can you post
Given the compatibility issues reported by others, I suspect the trick here will be to find the right version of ATI drivers which will work (and others have reported to work).
If we can’t get things going, unfortunately that means none of the leading USB graphics solutions will work either … but we’ll definitely get you a refund if we get to that.
So thanks for posting those two pieces of info, and we’ll figure out next steps.
Thanks for your patience!
Bernie
Thanks Bernie.

Hi Bram,
We’re not sure yet if we have a certain solution. There are apparently a few variations of the Lenovo W500 out there, with some different behaviors. From the msinfo output above, yours has both Intel and ATI graphics.
One thing we’d like you to try, if possible. Can you see if there’s a BIOS option to disable switchable graphics on the system? Here’s how Lenovo describes it (in http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/sit…)
Can I disable Switchable Graphics on my Lenovo system?
Yes, there is a BIOS setup option to disable Switchable Graphics. In the BIOS setup utility (press F1 immediately after powering-on the system, while the ThinkPad logo is shown), enter the Config menu, then enter the Display menu. Change the Graphics Device from Switchable Graphics (the default) to either Integrated Graphics or Discrete Graphics, whichever you prefer.
Also, if you are using Windows Vista, you must disable OS Detection for Switchable Graphics. If this setting is enabled, booting will re-enable Switchable Graphics. Booting any other operating system will only change the setting from Switchable Graphics to Discerete Graphics; if the setting is already Integrated Graphics, it will remain so.
Note that loading defaults in BIOS setup (shortcut: F9) will cause both of these settings to return to their default values.
If you are able to disable switchable graphics (hopefully running just the Intel driver), then try again to see if the DisplayLink driver flags any problems at install time.
If there is no BIOS option to disable switchable graphics, again just let us know.
From this test, we’ll figure out next steps.
Thanks for your patience!
Bernie
What if you’re running Windows through Parallels on a Mac? All my drivers are up to date (according to Device Manager). I have the same error when trying to go through the DisplayLink Adapter setup
I am also unable to access any of the Window’s BIOS options
