Freezing SP4 in Outlook, when connected to external monitor

[erik braun]

I noticed a few times now that my SP4 freezes when using Outlook. I have the impression this only happens when I am connected to an external monitor (and using a Targus docking station). Anyone else seen this?

Most likely a CPU spike from the DisplayLink USB Video Card Driver.

Task Manager will show the spike, look for the DisplayLink Drivers in the processes running. How to avoid, make sure you go to the DisplayLink website and get the latest drivers as the ones on the Branded Site are usually out dated by months.

can you see this in logs (as it happened yesterday, at work)?

Not really, unless you are capturing performance data....
