How do I correct the device manager entry that is on my computer?
Q. My HP 522n thinks I have a CD-Rom instead of a CD-RW. I found a note saying my disk Drive is a Samsung SV6003H but my device manager thinks I have a CD- ROM. (This note may refer to another computer, but I know my computer has a CD-RW!) Do I have to change the drive? Can I change it by going into Boot information? My software is Microsoft Windows XP. Any suggestions are welcome. It does not mean I will try this myself since I am not a programmer. I want to have an idea what the repair person may do.
Asked by femalegtrst - Fri Jul 7 19:43:09 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I would first consider deleting the device from device manager and reboot the system. In many cases Windows will find and identify the device correctly. I don't think it's likely that you need to manually change any boot information (BIOS). If reboot doesn't work out, try manually installing the hardware in Windows Control Panel. Install the driver from CD if you have one, or download from the manufacturer's website.

How do I restore the wireless adapter in the device manager under the network adapters?
Q. I was using my laptop and the internet was fine. Then I go back on in a couple of hours and the internet was gone. I check the device manager and the wireless adapter's not there. Also, the wireless connection icon isn't in the network connections. It's been like that for a couple of days and I'm kinda scared. Also, it's happened before. I mean that the wireless connection would disappear, but it would come back though. Please help me and thank you.

What driver will get rid of the "missing parallel driver" in m device manager?

A. The Dell drivers page for your laptop doesn't really mention a parallel driver but windows might not be reporting it correctly. You could try FixMyDriver.com and let it complete a system scan. It might give you a more accurate description of what device is missing a driver.

Why is there two Monitors listed in Device Manager in XP Pro?
Q. In my Device Manager, its listed as two Monitors, However I dont have two Monitors installed, I only have one Monitor installed. I tried to uninstall the First one, I rebooted, and its still there. I did the same thing to the other one, and its still there.. Oh and I dont even use a Video card or a Graphics card, I use the VGA Port.

A. no video card?! maybe you mean you have a build-in video card, you've just mentioned the VGA port... if you see a two monitors installed, it just means that your video or graphic card is capable to use more than 1 monitor, this video card have a tv-out terminal, which means you have a primary monitor that is ENABLE and a secondary monitor which default value is DISABLE, that you can set it to ENABLE if you want to use other monitor like the TV.
