Device Manager in XP Home (2)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Thanks, Carey. I tried what you suggested in your message
below, but I am still getting the same error- "Action
Cancelled" when I try to access the Device Manager. Could
it be that my Microsoft Management Console(MMC)is also
corrupted?

Thanks for any further help.

Run devmgmt.msc or if it is truly gone, create another
one by running "mmc /a", adding the device manager plug-
in
and saving that to devmgmt.msc in %windir%\system32.
