Device Managerdoesnt appear

[Guest]

Hi
I have installed XPe on 2nd partition of a system. Primary partition contains XP Pro which I used to create image for XPe
I needed to change the resolution of XPe, but nothing appears when I right click on Desktop properties nor the "Manage" menu appears on rightclicking My Computer. When I click Device manager button in Systems Properties it gives error message "Selected file cannot be found".
When I tried installing drivers for Display adapter in XPe (displayed as Intel(r) 82845G Graphics controller in XP Pro), it gives some "Internal Software Error"
I had used tap.exe to import devices and added that component in Target Designer. And the component list in Target Designer doesnt show the above Intel driver
Have I missed some component?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank
Himanshu

You'll need to tick the show context menus option which is in the User
Interface Core component, and probably add the 'device manager'
component as well.

Intel(r) 82845G Graphics controller in XP Pro), it gives some "Internal
Software Error".

OK, have you resolved all your dependencies? What graphics components do
you have in your build?

Designer. And the component list in Target Designer doesnt show the above
Intel driver.

Probably quite a few, and you'll probably have to componentise the
driver yourself. Just importing the results from TAP won't give you a
very useful build.

And just to add to Heidi's reply. There are two Intel 845 display driver
components on www.xpefiles.com:

You can give them a try.

The Intel 82845G Graphics Chipset Drivers do have to be componentized.
I had to do this for my IBM Netvista 8310 26U box.

Thanks a lot for the solution. But can you please tell me how to go about componentizing this driver
