multiple displays when enabling nvidia driver

I have downloaded ubuntu 9.04 on to my compaq laptop. When I enable the nvidia driver so that I can use the enhanced desktop features, I run into a problem. After I enable the driver, I reboot my laptop and it makes a high pitched beep sound. The laptop then reboots and my screen displays 6 small displays. 3 on the left side of the screen and 3 on the other. They are not seperate desktops. There is also a static like grayish line about an 1/8 of an inch thick that seperates the 6 displays on my laptop screen. All of enhanced desktop features work fine but I don't want 6 small screens on my laptop for obvious reasons. I have tried changeing the resolution via nvidia settings with no success. I've tried using 8.04 and kubuntu 9.04 and have the same problem with them when I enable the nvidia driver. I've also tried using different drivers then the recommended 180' driver, but that doesn't help either. I'm currently running kubuntu 9.04 in low graphics mode untill I figure out how to solve this problem. Please help.
