Why windows detects 3 monitors when i only have 1?

[Lincoln]

Hi there i need some help here.

Windows is detecting 3 monitors instead of just one. I
only have one monitor and i find it very weird.

Windows automatically installs 2 default monitors and the
address the last monitor as the one i am using. I am using
Windows Xp.

Please help me as i can't fix the refresh rate problems
and the screen flickers whenever i enter/exit games.

Thank you in advance

Open device manager (right click on My Computer/ select
properties) and remove all monitors and video cards-drivers.
Reboot and the correct (single) video components should be
detected and their drivers installed?
If your monitor is very weird, you might want to call an
exorcist or counselor, but if you just meant you think that
Windows is acting strangely or weird, then that is "normal"
for computers.

Does your video card have TV out? if so, that is the source of those extra
monitors (ie one for SVideo out and one for the RCA video out)
