Hi everyone, I seem to have the problem that many others have had in the past. The PC I am working on has had significant virus infestation but this has now been fully eradicated by the use of various tools around the internet. Now, having established a fully working, virus-free system I have the problem that there are no devices in Device Manager and the Plug Play service isn't started and can't be started. The message is 'The Plug and Play service on Local Computer started and then stopped'. This problem has occurred during the disinfect process because I have proved that the service was operating a couple of days ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() How to open “device manager”: right-click on “my computer” then click on “manage” then click on “device manager” from the left-side pane and then look at the right-side pane to get listed all the devices. In Mac OS X, there is also a window similar to Device Manager in Windows OS to view the hardware and devices. There are short cuts to find it in Mac OS X laptop or desktop, including MacBook Pro (Retina), MacBook Air, MacBook (Retina), iMac, Mac mini, Mac Pro, and iMac Retina. Noticed that Imaging Devices is not listed in my Device Manager. Not sure if this is a Windows XP problem or not, but is there a way to add Imaging Devices back to the Device Manager? Any help is appreciated.

HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - No Audio Device (Windows XP). In Device Manager, scroll down the list and click the plus sign (+) next to Sound. Look for the name of your sound hardware (Creative, Realtek, or some other brand name). I did this by temporarily restoring a copy of the registry files and all was fine. Since the registry copy a couple of days ago, various anti-virus, malware scans have been run and one of these may have done something to the registry which prevents Plug Play starting. Thinking that some system files were corrupted at some point by the virus infestation, I have upgraded to XP SP3 hoping that the offender would be updated but this makes no difference, which it probably wouldn't if the resgistry was the problem. I have tried every fix attempt recommended on this topic including checking for '$%&'()' corruptions in the registry, checking Plug Play startup and path, SFC /scannow, AproposFix.exe all to no avail. Would really appreciate some further ideas. As I said earlier, I'm convinced the registry is somehow at fault, but what should I try? Regards John. Download iso windows 2000 server.

For further info, I have noticed an event log entry indicating an attempt to start the 'PlugPlay' service which fails because 'An instance of the service is already running' but I as I said in my post, 'PlugPlay' isn't running and that's why Device Manager shows no entries. Does this lead you to draw any other conclusion? Regards John Edited by Mariner, 02 May 2009 - 05:31 AM. Hi, all the Malware problems have been removed and I'm back with you.!
