Rogue default monitor driver

[Herne]

I've recently tried to add a second monitor to my system, but 3 are showing up.

Running windows 2000 with a radeon 9250

Any ideas how to get rid?

Thanks

If the model numbers for the monitors will help, let me know.

Both are CRT, one is connected via a DVI-VGA adaptor.

So Windows detects 3 monitors instead of 2?

[Herne]

Exactly.

It would be something I could live with, but it seems to be messing up ATI's dual monitor software and stopping me being able to run each monitor at a different res/refresh rate.

Any ideas?

if you disconnect one, how many are detected by windows?

(first try disconnecting only one, then only the other one..)

[Herne]

Just one, no matter which is connected to the VGA port...

I've also tried swapping primary and secondary around and it still detects 3

I checked windows update and everything seems to be upto date...

Anyone?

Google didn't bring up anything useful...

I think this is a problem that's unique in its kind. A format+reinstall can do wonders here I think.

If you unistall the monitor drivers, and the video drivers and give her a reboot are you still in the same situation?

if recall correctly its something 2 do with tvout and not actually a bug..if u had 1 monitor on card their be 2 montors listed in device manager and if 2 monitors connected there be 3 listed in device manager.....correct me if i is wrong
