<quote>
A black exclamation point (!) on a yellow field indicates the device is in
a problem state. Note that a device that is in a problem state can be
functioning.
A problem code explaining the problem is displayed for the device.
A red "X" indicates a disabled device. A disabled device is a device that is
physically present in the computer and is consuming resources, but does not
have a protected-mode driver loaded.
A blue "i" on a white field on a device resource in Computer properties
indicates that the Use Automatic Settings feature is not selected for the
device and that the resource was manually selected. Note that this does not
indicate a problem or disabled state.
A green question mark "?" in Device Manager means that a compatible driver
for this device is installed, indicating the possibility that all of the
functionality may not be available.
