I set my plug & play to automatic as Micrososft Knowledge
Base article #311504 states but I still get a blank page
in device manager. Any other ideas?
 
Do you have authority to see it? Have your tried different views?

If you run msinfo32, are your devices in there?

If you right click My computer and Manage does device manager work there?

This came from Help and Support, you might try this to see if you can see
anything. I would assume to change it you use 0 instead of 1

1.. Click Start, click Run, type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
2.. Type set DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS=1, and then press ENTER.
3.. Type start devmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER. In Device Manager the
properties for a device should now provide a Details tab that contains
additional information about the device.

I just had to do a upgrade/reinstall because my Msinfo32.exe stopped
working. I don't know why unless I accidentally deleted something.
