Default RE: Device Manager window blank?

Marvone if you want to try and do a repair over the top this is how its done.

1. Put your XP cd in and boot to it. (You may have to enter the BIOS and set
it to boot to the CD-Rom first.)

2. After a short while XP will see that you already have a install and ask
you if you want to do a repair or new install. Choose new install.

3. After a while XP will ask again if you want to do a repair or a new
install. Choose repair.

It will take off and reload all your old files from the CD. It should not
effect any of your data or profiles. You will however have to reload the
service packs that you installed after loading it originaly.

If the install gets to the point that it wants you to pick a partition to do
the install on you have gone to far. Do not pick one or you will create a new
install.
