Review on Enhanced Connectivity with Kensington K33955US 💻 SD420V Universal USB Docking Station Including Ethernet by James Khalifa

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Didn't work, computer crashed.

I have a Vaio laptop model VPCF1 (Win 7 Pro, 6GB RAM). Crashes immediately after installation (twice). The first installation ended with a blue screen dump. It took me 3 hours to restart my computer once I was able to return to Windows (and completely uninstalled the Kensington driver and video driver that were on the installation CD). I thought I did something wrong. I went to the Kensington website. Downloaded the instructions and compared the latest drivers to the CD that came with it. Both were the same. The second install resulted in another error, but attempt #2 was a serious one. It took me 6 hours to restart my computer (it didn't even start). Many programs have been corrupted. I'm still working on getting everything working again and it's been 8 hours now. Be careful. Make sure you have backed up your system, including a BACKUP OF YOUR REGISTRY, before doing anything. You should also find out if this docking station, installation software, and graphics drivers are compatible with your computer before doing anything. What I experienced was a complete disaster that worried me that my computer would never work again.

Pros
  • DVI compatible - add a VGA or HD display
Cons
  • Security
