Guest Ace Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Re: Multiple Display Adapters & Monitors in Device Manager This seems to be a laptop computer: "Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS,910GML Express" Display Adapter 1: LCD screen Display Adapter 2: External monitor port Monitor 1: LCD screen Monitor 2: External monitor port Monitor 3: A possible Docking Station or S-Video/Composite port Monitor 3 could be explained through the presence of extra video ports on your laptop; Standard VGA is a blue or black 15-pin connector, S-Video is a round shaped connector which may be proprietary multi-pin (4, 5, 8, etc.), Composite is a round 1-pin connector, docking station port is rectangular of shape and is located at the bottom of your laptop in most cases. You have not stated any problems with these two adapters and three monitors, therefore I will assume your system is working fine and you are merely wondering about the presence of the 'duplicates'. This is normal for a laptop computer, each 'device' stems from one piece of hardware and it's software: your graphics card and it's drivers. =?Utf-8?B?U3BvdA==?= <Spot@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:9118DD93-8964-4D71-BC44-21855EF13626@microsoft.com: > I open Device Manager and have 2 Display Adapters which are both the > same, and 3 Monitors which are all the same. > > Display Adapters: 2x Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset > Family Monitors: 3x Plug and Play Monitor -- *Reply to newsgroup please. *Your mileage may vary. *Spelling/Grammar errors free of charge.
