Device Manager since SP2 Install

M

Marcus

Has anyone else lost entries in Device Manager since installing Sp2, I have.

I have lost Display Driver entry and the sound controller is showing the
incorrect driver, I have reinstalled both drivers but they will not display
correctly. The proper video driver is installed as I can get to it via
display properties if I right click the desktop.

All driver seem to be correctly working just not showing in device manager
correctly.

No, I haven`t come across this. Have you updated the driver?

On my machine...the audio input driver is gone...and only the wave output
device is selectable in sounds & audio devices > audio > sound recording. It
does take input but it sounds like a pack of rabid coyotes in a battle royal.
[Using onboard C-Media 8738] I've tried several sets of drivers from
different locations...no help.

On my friend's machine his Phillips PSC-705 dissappeared completely. And
we've had the most terrible time installing his Ati 9600xt All-in-Wonder.
Reboots galore and a hodge-podge of Blue Screens. All with crazy error
messages.

I had a similar problem after installing SP2 but it did not correct itself
after returning to SP1 (through Add/Remove Programs). My Display adaptor
was missing and I could not detect the modem properly. More details are in
my post .

I too have lost all my devices from Device Manager and also all my
network connection icons. I have thought of reinstalling XP but as
everything works OK I will leave it for the moment. I fear I may not
be able to add any new devices.
