Number with the Device Manager appears as empty.

We went from XP to Windows 7 forum>

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

Lately, my computer shows this message

I said to uninstall my drivers in Device Manager", but I found this to be empty.

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

Kade-

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.

    When I connect my mobile phone via Bluetooth for laptop (win 7 ultimate), my system shows the connection. Also, I see my mobile phone listed in the device window. Earlier, when I brought the computer laptop, everything seemed good, at this time, when I use it to open the device (IE to control ); a window would show the option for playing music (there was a lot of option as a 1 ' headset and speaker") and other services supported by the device. but now, suddenly somehow window appears but with in a 2 sec to disappear again. Whenever I try to open the device I get this error. I must say that it is very very frustrating as you try to move your cursor to click on audio playback on this portable display option, the window disappears. Help, please. Now, let me tell you what I tried to solve this problem.

    I have laptop Lenovo, which has something like that for bluetooth

    Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 USB

    Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator. I have 32 bits of the system, processor i3, win 7 ultimate, one port wifi

    In the center of troubleshooting, I tried for the material of scanning that show this Bluetooth device driver not installed (I could see a yellow mark on this device in the Device Manager and a code 28 error).

    But windows cannot fix it.  I have tried multiple devices but nothing turned up. also I tried the same devices on different laptops and all of them worked very well.  I checked online trouble - shooting.but not very useful. Please don't tell me about recovery. I don't know when it happened.

    Please help me. Please give me link if there is no download needed

  • How to remove an application from a device with the Profile Manager?

    I use iOS devices 9.1 in collaboration with Apple Configurator 2.1 and 5.0.15 Profile Manager. Configurator locks iPads and the Profile Manager is used for the distribution of applications. We are assigning apps in device that is a great feature. However, when I delete an application from a device with the Profile Manager, the application does not remove himself. The Profile Manager back the license and I can redistribute app for iPad one another even if the application is still installed and usable on the iPad first.

    Is this a bug? It seems that it should remove the app. If I delete the management profile in distance from the unit, it removes apps.

    Click on the gear box and then delete Apps and select the application you want to remove.

    Initially, I did what you did probably has been to select the name of the application, then press the 'less', who pulled out of the app in the list, but it has not removed the iPad, he just removed their license.  Through the gearbox and to remove it it removes of the iPad.

    You may have already thought of it, but I found this post unanswered after two months, and once I found the answer, I thought I'd put it here.

  • External hard drive in the Device Manager but not in disk management

    So I have this external hard drive Western Digital 1 TB. I've had for over a year now and it was working fine. I would like to trade my XBox 360 and the computerregularly. Then one day I brought home, plugged into the computer and nothing. My friend and I couldn't understand anything. We have gone as far as removing the hard drive and put it directly into the computer. I have reviewed, that he has lost.

    Then yesterday, on a whim, I tried to connect it again to the USB port. It is presented in the Device Manager but says that its drivers have not been installed. Then, I changed the USB ports on the back of the computer and as if by magic, that this is once again. I had full access. Stupid (and you can see where this is going) did not immediately transfer anything off the hard drive. I'm looking for an image and listen to a song off of said hard drive when the drive went suddenly not recognized.

    I can see now the reader in the Manager of devices under disk drives, and USB devices. However it does not appear in the disk management window. And Yes, I checked as well the Productdocumentation upper and lower, that it is not listed. Go to the area where you assign drive letters not shown not be. Normally this is E:.

    I also tried to remove the UpperFilters registry in regedit. It was not to remove LowerFilters. Obviously, that didn't work or the other.

    I tried several cords and all my USB ports with no luck either.

    I went on the WD Web site, but they do not offer anything other than a partitioner that I would save rather than as a last resort as there are a number of things on the hard drive I want to save.

    So it's not like it's a new HD to be partitioned or an old man who comes out crapped. I know there's the data I just need to get home long enough to get what I need. Maybe I missed my window, but maybe I did not. Maybe someone can help. I'm at the end of my mind on this thing.

    Sounds like a problem of partition (maybe corrupted partition tables) if the device is recognized, but not the 'disk '.

    There are recovery/repair partition about tools.  Western Digital actually have some but I think that they are made for internal drives.

    If I were you, I start with WD and start looking for partition recovery/repair tools.  If this is the problem then it is the right kind of problem and you using the right type of solution can fix it easily.

    If this is not the case, some data recovery tools can help you recover some files even if you have to recreate a new partition, although I wish you much luck with this approach!

    Good luck whatever you try and make sure that you do not overwrite the what partition information, you have without making backups (many partition edititing software will offer backups)

  • Windows 8 crashes when running 'find the hardware changes' in the Device Manager, requiring forced stop

    I just installed Windows 8 Pro on a system that were running Windows 7 without problem.  After completing a clean Windows 8 Pro Setup program, I went from hollow driver installation, but found the package to install for my card its caused Windows 8 Pro drivers to lock up and become completely numb.  I had to force a shutdown by pressing the button for 4 seconds.

    Trying to solve the problem, I found that manually install the drivers through the device manager didn't cause any problems.  In addition, installation of the drivers available through Windows Update also worked without problem. However, these two methods fail to install parts of the pilot training included him.  Then I have to uninstall the device from the package of drivers again.  I uninstalled the sound card via Device Manager and selected "Delete the driver for this device."  When I followed this with a "Scan for hardware changes" again the list my sound card, I have found that Windows 8 Hung again.

    After trying other options with no resolution, I tried to reinstall fresh Windows 8.   To exclude a possible problem with Windows 8, I opened Device Manager, as soon as I could after installing Windows and ran "find the hardware changes.  New Windows 8 freezes.  I can't place blame on post installation any software or driver.  This seems to be a problem with Windows 8 itself.

    A final note, sometimes "find the hardware changes" will actually work, but most often it forces the system to hang.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  Can anyone provide assistance? (chart below for comparison)

    Processor: Core i7 3770 k

    Motherboard: MSI Z77A-GD80

    RAM: 16 GB

    Video: GeForce GTX 680

    Audio: Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D

    HARD drive: 1 x Corsair Force SSD 3

    RAID: 3 x 1 TB RAID 5

    It seems that I am victim of dynamic ticks.  Research on my question, I have found several discussions around the ' net for crashes/freezes random in Windows 8, but none of them appeared to agree to my problem.  However, they all had the same solutions.

    Run the following command in a command prompt to disable the dynamic ticks.

    bcdedit/set disabledynamictick Yes

    I thought that I have that would give a shot, and it worked.  I wrote this answer, I also found that there is a recent update of the BIOS for my motherboard which indicates "Support Windows8 feature."  With the new BIOS applied, I was able to turn dynamic ticks and have been broadcast since w/o freezes.  I also managed to install all my drivers.  Anyone else having this problem maybe try updating the motherboard BIOS, otherwise try the above command.
