It has a yellow sign with an exclamation point in the icon and offers to solve problems. When I click on this option, it offers to install a driver for SM bus controller and a driver for the ethernet controller. I click on apply, but this utility is unable to find a driver for either.

• My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen will not change, we do not know the password or have we not the reset disk, how can connect to reset password

  My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen displays the dell logo and says that I need the master password or administrator, my son can't remember and we do not have the reset disk, is it possible to get and reset the password or enter the system

  If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of your normal connection.

  To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

  If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

• In devices and printers, I have an icon for a laptop with a yellow exclamation point. I have a desktop computer and remove this icon of the laptop.

  A laptop once was connected to my desktop via USB cable PC; It belonged to me.  The owner wants to access its database of the company, but in vain.

  Now, in devices and printers, I have a laptop icon that is not one of my devices, but the Device Manager lists in "Other devices" with a (USB) universal serial bus controller, which is also included in the icon of the computer laptop properties under the material.  The yellow exclamation point is for troubleshooting.  The problem is: I do not own a laptop device.

  I want to remove the icon of the laptop and its inscriptions, including the (USB) universal serial bus controller.  Both are marked by a yellow exclamation point, but, of course, they do not work because they do not exist.  But this icon of the laptop has name my PC on it.

  My desktop PC should not be listed in devices and printers, does it?

  This monitor works fine but is detected by the generic as 'PNP monitor' Device Manager. My video card is detected correctly. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. It also shows that Asus VS247 in devices and printers. I checked the Asus support and they do not have a monitor driver.

  I'm glad to hear that.

  Just to let you know, it is often the case with the monitors.

  They will be the "default"setting, but still have the correct driver.

  Happy computing,

• Shows device in devices and printers, which is not connected to the pc

  I was looking at devices and printers, and notice that something called 'My Zen' presents itself as well as all other devices attached to my office.  However the zen element refers to an old mp3 player that I have not used in a few years.   Is it all just because the driver remains on the system?  I thought that only the truly connected elements would be showing upwards.

  This is for any installed device.  Right click and choose "Remove device" to uninstall.

• "Devices and printers" do not show the printer on LPT1

  I recently added a printer on parallel port LPT1: on my PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit edition.  The installation was successful.  I can print a test page and you can use the printer from applications, including Notepad, Microsoft Word 2010, and command prompt.  I find it puzzling, however, that the printer does not appear in the list of printers in the "Devices and printers" Control Panel applet  Is this a bug in Windows?  Microsoft has a fix available?

  Hello Tony,.

  Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.

  Sometimes, this problem appears when printers or other devices using the same driver and port on Windows. When you view the printers installed in "Devices and printers", you may notice that some of the printers or other devices are grouped and are associated with the same printer icon. Scenarios like two or more printers are installed using the same printer and installed driver with the same printer port (i.e. LPT1) shows this kind of behavior.

  I suggest you follow the steps described in the article below to get this matter resolved.

  Printers using the same driver and port on Windows are grouped as a reporting in devices and printers.

  I checked the battery meter and battery is charged to 100%, and the counter shows that it works normally. The laptop is only a few months old.

  I saw another post that suggested restarting the laptop with the cable disconnected. I'going to try that next.
