You must have everyone full access on "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum" key and
all chid subkeys.
Then you must execute the following VBScipt:
"
' Fix Device Manager empty. Developed by J.Almeida
Dim WshShell,objReg,strKeyPath,strComputer,objFSO
Dim result_exist,counter
Dim del()
counter=0
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer
& "\root\default:StdRegProv")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strKeyPath = "System\CurrentControlSet\Enum" 'Chave para verificar
result_exist_value=existvalue(strKeyPath)
List
Function existvalue(strKeyPath)
On Error Resume next
Dim Key
objReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, arrSubKeys
For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
If Right("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\" & strKeyPath & "\" & subkey,1)<>"\" then
existvalue(strKeyPath & "\" & subkey)
End If
counter=counter+1
ReDim Preserve del(counter)
del(counter-1)=strKeyPath
Next
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
Sub List()
On Error Resume next
For Each x In del
If InStr(x,"\$") then
objReg.DeleteKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, x
End if
Next
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
"
(quotes not included)
The problem must be solved.
