Did you try to disable the Generic TV adapter, not delete it?

I would LOVE to disable it but there appears no way to do that. There
is no option or screen where I can do.

Any ideas?

IN Device Manager you only get the chance to uninstall the generic
Television. Which I have doen many times. It just comes back on ce you
restart the computer.

Thanks though.

In Device Manager, try setting "device usage

I had just located that on my Win 2000 system. It's right at the
bottom of the 'general' tab and hard to miss.

OK I am sorry I did not explain myself well. I do not have this option
for my monitor types. Sure I can go to other devices under the Device
Manager and I have the option to disable it but I do not get that with
the monitors. Its just grayed out.
