I have a Lenovo ThinkPad x61s. I tried to do a clean XP Pro install and
ended up with 5 default monitors (none of them the correct one) in
Device Manager. When I was using Vista it listed only one monitor... the
right one! I didn't install extra monitors, the whole install went
really smoothly. I have tried deleting in Safe Mode but they keep coming
back.
I figured it would be easy to reinstall Vista to see what the settings
were by using the blue ThinkVantage button to install the original
factory OS. Wrong! It would not work at all. Error messages saying it
couldn't find the files (though the partition was left untouched by me).
So I thought fine, I have the original CD's. Installed and it was XP Pro
and not Vista!!! Looks like I have no way of putting Vista back on
again.
Anyhow, I checked in Device Manager and I still have the 5 monitors
listed along with 2 video drivers (although that is perhaps okay because
it can run dual monitors???) I wouldn't care about the extra stuff
except now my screen flashes sometimes and it never did before.
