Targus ACP70EU dock
What a load of rubbish!
This Is no more than a glorified usb hub. Was purchased used from ebay.
I guess the previous seller couldnt get it to work eithwer this is why there are so many for sale. Possibly?
Product Description
The Targus USB 3.0 dual video docking station provides an expansion solution for Windows based laptops through its single USB connection. Monitors, printers, network, keyboard, mouse all instantly accessible through the plug and play capabilities of the universal docking station. The design of the docking station allows you to rest your laptop on it to provide additional cooling and a more comfortable typing position. Always On USB ports enable you to continuously provide power to any device you wish to power even when the laptop is not connected. The single USB cable connection will occupy only one of your laptop's USB ports, meaning this docking station can be used with different brand laptops, making it a popular choice for IT managers.
The laptop that this was purchased for is Dell 3542 i7 and running windows 10.
I have tried multiple downloads of different driver and updated all my laptop usb drivers and the dock still does not work.
I also installed http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=751 this updated software and still nothing.
Targus seem to be putting up help comments but not actually doing anything, the main problems seem to be that the laptop does not recognice the usb 3 video and network on the hub.
If this has been developed for windows 10 then why on earth are so many unable to use them.
I did read somewhere that apparently the ITEM# 51 will not work on windows 10 it has to be item#61, as to whether this is true i have know idea.
there are multiple sites showing workarounds to this problem but have as yet not found a solution, and I am stuck with just a usb hub only. No audio, No Video, and No networking capabilities.
More info to come as I investigate further............

Please please feel free to leave comments as this may help others with the same issues.
I've had no functional problems with this. Everything hooked up fine. I am running Windows 8.1 and have had no issues. It works like a charm.
