Device Manager problem
The following problem manifested itself recently on an otherwise perfectly
stable WinXP system: When trying to access Device Manger (either via My Computer|Manage or via Control Panel), I get this message: "Action Cancelled Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable ..." - just like when you get to a dead webpage or suchlike. If I persist in trying to get it displayed, I get a Win error with two files mentioned: devmgr.dll and mmc.exe. Since I do not use Device Manger every day, it is not clear exactly at what point (or rather after what change etc) this problem developed first. Unfortunately I was unable to find relevant info in MS KB or via Google - most of what I saw deals with various error codes generated by functioning Device Manager. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Cheers, Dave
