I am using winxp.
When I open the device manager it is empty. There is nothing there but the computer appears to function ok.
How do I restore the device manager.
Thanks.

Thanks for trying to help. I solved the problem by booting into safe mode
and bringing up device manager which was ok. I then rebooted normally and device manager then worked. Kinda strange though.
