Windows starts fine, but the Device Manager is empty. nothing else works besides the top of office

Windows xp sp3-basically a six year old child was playing on the computer. I didn't know that the idea that he did. Looks like he has deleted all devices. There are simply not there. When I click on the drives, it completes. Everythings still on disks. I tried to reboot in safe mode. the computer turns on and off the fine. He can't get WiFi to install if no network. the computer was a prize won my daughter, no disc, but it's all legitimate. his recorded a son-in-law john r.  He has a floppy drive, a dvd burner and cd burner. It is in great shape before this happened. im hoping that this is a simple reboot or something im just missing.
