XP Device manager items w/ yellow exclamation marks
I was looking thru Device Manager and clicked Viewshow hidden devices &
noticed two items with the yellow questions marks beside them- the first was: under "Printers" was my printer, then below it "Parallel Device" had the question mark. When clicking it for more info it said "The drivers for this device aren't installed. To reinstall click Reinstall Driver. Code 28" The device type said "printer". FYI my printer is an older HP 722C & I believe I installed it using WinXPs own printer driver. I haven't had any issues with this or the other device I found in conflict in Device Manager but was just curious if I needed to do anything with either one- or if not broke don't fix! The second device with a yellow exclamation mark was under Non Plug & Play Drivers PartMgr. It said: "Device not present, not working properly or doesn't have all its drivers ,Code 24. Display name: Partition Manager, Current status: started, Startuptype: Boot. Driver files: c:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\partmgr.sys, file version: 5.1.2600.0 The PartMgr had a troubleshoot option but I haven't tried it yet and the Parallel Device had a reinstall driver option but that came back empty after trying it. Thanks for any help with this! RK |
