After reading through this list while trying to fix the same problem (no devices
displayed in device manager) I wanted to post an interesting secondary consequence
of the problem, in case it happens to anyone else. The problem I ran into was that
not only did I have no devices displayed, but I could not use an IPSEC vpn connection
to a Cisco VPN device using the Cisco VPN client. The device at the far end would
respond, set up the connection, and then immediately drop it. Fixing the no devices
displayed problem also fixed the VPN problem. Hopefully if anyone else is having
that VPN problem because of the device manager problem they will now be able to find
this thread on a search. And of course, thanks to those who posted advice which
successfully fixed both of my problems without having to wait while prying a hotfix
for the DEVMGR problem out of Microsoft support.
