Device Manager shows no device, is empty

My 8200 Dell under XP Professional SP3 shows not all devices in Device Manager.  I think that it started very recently when I was installing TM Internet Security after the removal of Norton Anti Virus 2009.  Eventually after using Norton Removal Tool. It doesn't show the devices safe.  Plug and Play is on.  I recently installed an old HP DeskJet 820Cse printer using existing drivers.  I do not think that article 953979 applies since it just (seem), took place but it seems to fit the description.  Any help is appreciated.

There is a Microsoft 953979 patch that works, but it didn't on mine, I then found this articale and followed the instructions and it worked.

(1) logged as an administrator;
(2) Regedit > HKLM\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\ENUM.
(3) right clicked Enum and gives right to the system and administrators full control.
(4) clicked the button Options at the bottom of the window.
(5) on the Advanced window checked 'reset permissions on all child objects... ". »
(6) the deleted Enum key. Error message: error while deleting key. I had to remove this key twice because initially, it appeared the remains of Enum key. After that, the locked ENUM\ROOT\LEGACY_SSDPSRV who already had a lot of weird symbols example $% &' () * +-, etc., now gone. Registry shows an own ENUM\ROOT subkey.
(7) PC rebooted and back connected to Windows;
(8) window of the Device Manager showed some yellow exclamation not to mention that some devices not recognized, then refreshed a few times showing successively less then not many of these features.
(9) PC rebooted again;
(10) message screen saying according to Windows has finished installing new devices, and the computer must be restarted before the new settings take effect.
11) Yes to restart the computer

Now the Device Manager window is full and all devices running again!

This solution works for my situation. I hope this helps someone.

  • Satellite A100-1AI watch CD player but Device Manager shows the DVD player

    I own a Satellite A100-1AI and went from Vista to Windows XP?

    My DVD player has been discovered as a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N but is only showing as a CD drive in my computer screen.

    Also Device Manager shows Mass Storage Controller and controller SM Bus as an unknown device (other).

    Since the switch from Vista to XP I have not adjusted my BIOS settings

    How can I make my DVD see CD and erase those unknown devices

    Thanks in advance

    Spon

    Just a question;
    You can read and burn CDs?

    Regarding the unknown devices:
    These devices are only compatible Vista and so there is no drivers for the mass storage controller.

    Check this box:

  • Device Manager shows two different processors on Satellite P200 - 1 K 9

    Hello
    I just bought P200 - 1 K 9 and spotted (Vista 32-bit) Device Manager shows two different processors under the section of processors:

    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz
    Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.40 GHz CPU

    I expected to see the two excatly the same processors here.

    Vista recognizes in general CPU core 2 duo 2.4 GHz, BIOS too.
    What is on the Device Manager?

    Is there something wrong with the CPU? Should I return it better?
    Would you please check your processor in Device Manager (start-> right click on computer-> select Properties-> Device Manager) and let me know what you have?

    I'll start some live linux CD and check there too.

    Thank you
    Miroslaw

    Hi mate,

    the you´ve got problem is not a problem. It s just a simple bug in the Vista Device Manager and hardware abstraction layer.
    Follow these steps:
    Remove the CPU from the Device Manager (uninstall just like any other device) and then restart windows. The processor will be indicated correctly next time you reboot the system.

  • The Windows Task Manager shows two instances of HpqPhUnl.exe running under XP

    My windows Task Manager shows two instances of HpqPhUnl.exe Runnung.

    * original title - why do I have two HpqPhUnl.exe race? *

    Are you using the quick change of user with more than one user connected and are both instances of HpqPhUnl.exe running under different user names?

    Although it is always possible for malware to masquerade as a legitimate file, HpqPhUnl.exe is related to the HP Photosmart Essential software provided with printers HP all-in-one.

    It seems there were several problems with Photosmart Essential and HP has replaced with HP Photo Creations.  HP claims, however, that he "supports" always Photosmart Essential.  See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02475046&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3857372

    RFLed is a utility that my new keyboard and computer to use. It is a gateway keyboard and does not contain the NumLock or CapsLock LEDs on it, but a poster on the graphic screen every time I change these settings. It is annoying because it takes me out of my program document for 5 seconds if I accidentally hit the CapsLock key while typing.
