  As you may have read in the title, my device manager is empty. Nothing, absolutely nothing is in it.

  Referring to this thread: http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-xp-tips/device-manager-empty-or-blank

  

  I followed ALL the steps and the steps are already finished!

  Plug-and-Play is already set to automatic,

  

  all services are enabled,

  

  and "everyone, system and RIGHTS of the OWNER" are already there with verified correct variations.

  

  I have no idea what to do now.

  I have dozens of programs purchased on my computer such as Photoshop, Illustrator, FRAPS and a very broad portfolio of my work of graphic design and progress over 2 years.

  Running on Windows 7 Home Premium, with an AMD A6 - 3420 M with Radeon (TM) HD Graphics 1.50 GHz APU

  I've had this computer for 2 years and it was Symantec's Norton running on it.

  I can't really afford to lose all my work and programs, so if anyone can help, it would save my life. Right now I can't provide customers and I am short on time!

  Thank you very much

  You may or may not have checked the following (the screenshots you have included does not show one way or the other).

  1. in the Configuration System (msconfig), you should look at the tab "Services", not the "Startup" tab  However, do not have a lot of confidence in the suggestion to "allow all services" and especially not non Microsoft services, for any reason, previously disabled.

  2. for what is permissions for registry Enum key, your screenshot shows only permissions for "Everyone".  Have you also checked the permissions of the 'System' and 'Advanced' for all screen everyone and system?  Did you get any error messages when you tried to change the permissions, such as the following:

  

  What happened to your system recently - power surge/failure, installed new software or updates, used a system tuner or register cleaner, etc.?

  It is quite possible that Norton herself - or malware - can be at the origin of this problem.  I suggest to first temporarily disable Norton and then redo the steps of registry key permissions.  You can do it in Mode without fail and go into Services and stop the Norton services that may still be running.

  If disable Norton and reset the permissions does not help you, if you did not recently, download, install, update and run these two free programs.

  MalwareBytes AntiMalware

  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

  Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

  Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.
