Pipe Doctor Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 The Device Manager on my PC is blankly refusing to show it's under-ware to me, the screen has all the tools available as normal, drop downs and all but no selection produces any visible output on the screen. B) I have looked at the MS Win forums, and the nearest it gets to the problem is the exclusion of plug & play items, these I have checked and found the settings correct. Having searched my memory I can't think what I may have done to create this situation, or how it has evolved accidentally. Is there any Knight in shining chromium plate who can save me from this dragon of darkness. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
