Re: Device Manager Shows Nothing

 

To create a shortcut to the Device Manager, to see if it works from your

desktop:

 

Go to Start/Run and type in: devmgmt.msc. If the Device Manager opens,

create a shortcut to this file C:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc

 

If Device Manager is having problems:

 

Restore the Device Manager (Line 107) Right hand side

Other suggestions:

 

For Pro

 

Go to Start/Run and type in: mmc /a. Go to File and choose Add/Remove

Snap-in. Click Add then scroll down to Device Manager, Add. Save it to

devmgmt.msc in %windir%\system32.

 

If the Device Manager is empty:

 

Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services. Scroll down to Plug and Play

Service and stop and restart it. Once done the Device Manager will populate

again.

 

Added info:

 

To extract: Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in the command below: (Substitute

C and D accordingly).

 

C:\>extract d:\i386\devmgmt.ms_ c:\windows\system32

\devmgmt.msc

 

where d: is your CD rom Drive with your windows XP CD.

Whatever your CD rom drive letter is then substitute it in

the command line.

 

Or:

 

Restore the Device Manager (Line 107) Right hand side
