computer freezes after a while, can't open MMC devmgmt.msc

[Guest]

hello over there,
i've got this problem, can please someone help me out, i'm dead without my
pc...

I own a hp pavilion laptop, Athlon processor, and i've just recovered my
system reinstalling windows xp with the System Recovery CD. Now, after some
stand-by, my computer freezes and won't open again if rebooted. (I get the
Windows logo, with the blue charging bar status). In recovery mode, I've
tried to set off the screen saver and the standby options, but nothing
changes. I've tried to Recovery the Windows again but i get the same result.
Maybe this could help you out: In the Microsoft Management Console, I get a
message telling me the devmgmt.msc file does not exist.

What should i do? Help me if you can, please.
Thank you very much,
Alan

Start>Run>devmgmt.msc>ok.
If the Device Manager opens,
create a shortcut to this file C:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc
If you can't then:-
Restore the Device Manager (Line 107) Right hand side
