Eric...there are TWO inf. files associated with the Monster.  I know,
because I went through the same headaches you did.

One looks like mon something I believe.  I have removed my Monster and
replaced it with a Stingray, so this is from memory.

Another way to track it down is do a find of all your *.inf files then
sort by date.

Hey...I just remembered...You'll find the other one under, where
else?, inf/other!
