Hi everyone

Dont know how this has happened but all of a sudden there is nothing listed in my device manager.
Does anyone know How to sort this out?
 
Hi

I've tried the system restore a few times now, going back further each time and still nothing.
Very strange!!
 
Your plug and play service has been turned off


1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
2. Double-click Plug and Play.

If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.
3. In the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.
4. Close Services.
5. Restart the computer.
 
hmmm, try restoring the device manager, you can do this by:

1. Open notepad
2. copy and pasting the below script into notepad
3. Save it to the desktop
4. Rename the file on the desktop to have the extension .reg
5. Double click it and press yes.

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{74246bfc-4c96-11d0-abef-0020af6b0b7a}]
@="Device Manager"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{74246bfc-4c96-11d0-abef-0020af6b0b7a}\InprocServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\devmgr.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{74246bfc-4c96-11d0-abef-0020af6b0b7a}\ProgId]
@="DevMgrSnapin.DevMgrSnapin.1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{74246bfc-4c96-11d0-abef-0020af6b0b7a}\VersionIndependentProgId]
@="DevMgrSnapin.DevMgrSnapin.1"
 
How about going to control panel then clicking on administrative tools > computer management then on the left column go to device manager ?

Or is that what your doing ???
