Don't know why I couldn't find it initially but got it.

So I've got this odd error occurring when I use any GPU other than my GTX 750ti that cause Windows to detect a third non-existent display which while it isn't necessarily a big deal is incredibly annoying.

I've gone ahead and disabled both that third monitor, as well as the MS Basic Display adapter to no avail, I've also gone ahead and installed / reinstalled drivers with no luck there.

 

Any ideas?

There is something causing it, can you give me the hardware ID for the "ghost" monitor?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Because your graphics driver doesn't support the 280 would be my guess.
