re: Empty Device Manager Wednesday, March 1, 2006 at 1:16 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dylan E. Munson (1 messages posted) Am a computer repair professional and had a unit in the shop without device manager/network devices showing in standard mode...Not Plug and Play...Not Registry Security Rights...WAS APROPOS!! Got the apropos fix and presto..all was normal again. Sneaky bastard apropos had a service running undetected, a few registry entries and some files associated. What a relief to get this one right. Thanks for your help. On Saturday, November 19, 2005 at 4:59 pm, John wrote: >I just had this problem with my XP Device Manager being blank. Removing KB05749 >didn't do the trick for me.
