When looking at my Device Manager in XP no devices are displayed. Same
situation when I look at Network Connections - nothing is listed there
either. This happens in Normal Mode and Safe Mode.
In doing some searching I've found references to a solution at
http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15653 that almost
did the trick. But when I click on the Advanced tab and check the two boxes
at the bottom of the screen I received a message "Registry editor could not
set security in the key currently selected or some of its subkeys."
I've tried making this change in Safe Mode, but no luck.
One other thing of interest - in the Services.msc the choices of Start,
Stop, Pause, etc. for Plug and Play are greyed out. Maybe this is normal,
but it seems odd.
Any other ideas? Strange thing is the PC behaves just fine otherwise. But
I know the next time I need to get in to Device Manager or Network
Connections that I'll be hosed.
Thanks,
Steve
