Guest Rob Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 I recently added 512MB of Ram which seems to be fine, but discovered all USB devices quit working, while trying to resolve found that device manager shows no devices, any thoughts/soultions would be greatly appreciated.

Guest Kelly Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 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 http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm 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 http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm Is it October already?
