The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Device Manager Empty

Asked by artistwantab in Windows XP Operating System, Adobe Type Manager

Tags: manager, device, empty

Recently I tried using my scanner with the following error. "No scanner found" When I went to to the device manager I found it to be empty.

Here is what I have tried.

1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.
2. Double-click Plug and Play.

If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.
3. In the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.
4. Close Services.
5. Restart the computer.

Also ran virus and Spy ware checks with THREE programs.

Made sure plug and play service are activated.

Start / Run / type msconfig / OK / Services
Verify that the Hide all Microsoft Services checkbox is NOT checked.
Scroll down the list of services until you see the service named Plug
and Play and make sure it is checked.

-Right-click My Computer / left-click Manage. The Computer Management
window appears.
-Click Services and Applications / Services / Standard and scroll down
to Plug and Play.
Double-click Plug and Play (if a warning dialog box appears, click OK).
The Plug and Play Properties window appears. Click to change the
Startup Type to Manual,
and then click Apply (if a warning dialog box appears, click OK).
-Under the Service Status section of the Plug and Play Properties
windows, click the
Start button. This will start the Plug and Play service.
Click OK on the Plug and Play Properties.

2) Check the security permissions (be careful here!):

Start / type "regedit" /
HKLM / System / CurrentControlSet / Enum /

Right click Enum -> Permissions
Set permissions for System -> Full Control.

Also I tried a system restore and it wont allow me to system restore.

I have tried all of the above. Amy help would be great.
