    Default REALLY effing annoying (computer problem)

    So I need some computer advice...

    I'm running three monitors right now, two right off of my video card and another using an external adapter (usb->VGA by triton). Anyways everything was working great for a while but now somehow my computer thinks I have FOUR monitors? There's a space between two of my monitors and when I open the program that comes with the external adapter it shows a fourth monitor. Problem is this program sucks and doesnt allow me to do anything besides move them around.

    My windows 7 control panel only does and always has only recognized the two monitors connected to the video card.

    So given that I know a lot of you guys have multiple monitors I was hoping maybe you could help me out.

    I use nvidia's control panel to manage my monitors. Not sure about your problem though. it sounds strange.

    I have a second video card for my 3rd (my TV) and 4th (if I had one) monitors.

    I would speculate that you have an add-on video card and the program is picking up your onboard video as well. I had this issue when I added a card to my old machine running XP and the display control panel also showed the onboard video/monitor, which I just ignored.

    It's probably your video cards DVI slot which I use for an HDMI to my plasma TV but never used it before and it always showed. Or an onboard video card. You just need to click the "identify" tab and whichever monitor number doesn't show up, take that one out of the mix. just unclick the "extend windows" box. then move the shadow out of the way.
