no device manager options in administrative tools/computer managem

[Guest OriginalRust]

I have recently installed service pack 3 for windows XP and it seems to be

working fine. I'm having a problem docking my Ipod. I get an error

message; "Ipod's service module has encountered a problem and needs to

close". Thats as far as I get. I went into control panel/administrative

tools/computer management/device manager and when I highlite device manager I

have a blank screen on the right side showing no devices. HELP!!

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.

I found plug and play and the start and stop option was not highlighted so I

right clicked plug and play and disabeled it, then enabled it to open

automatic. It did not work, still nothing in device manager.

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.

 

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
