using display link 5.6.31870 on an HP elitebook 8560p with an HP USB Media port replicator.

Before installing the displaylink software, windows shows that i have 1 monitor. after installing, windows shows that i have 3 monitors. I actually have 2 monitors at this point. 1 is my laptop screen, 1 is an external display attached to the DVI port of the USB HP media port replicator.

This is a problem because now i can drag windows over onto the phantom monitor and then they are gone from sight completely.
How can i tell windows/displaylink that i only have 1 external monitor attached and not 2?

You should be able to disable this through the Windows Display Properties. What is the ghost monitor, as DisplayLink should have only added 1 additional screen.
