DisplayLink Driver

When working with a D3100 or any other USB 3.0 docking station that needs the DisplayLink driver. Trying to install a new version of the driver may give an error. The error may say that an older version is installed, even after removing the older driver. This may be due to other software on the computer that uses DisplayLink and Magic Control Technology (MCT) which supplies docks similar to the D3100.

Follow these steps to remove the MCT software and older DisplayLink driver software:

  1. Click START > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
