    Where can I find it? I don't hardly use it and when I look for it I can't find it.

    Any help for this noob? Thanks.

    There's a few ways, here's a couple.

    Press the windows Key + Pause/Break key together. Select the Hardware Tab in the System Properties window that appears, click the Device Manager button.

    Alternatively Start->Run type Devmgmt.msc and click OK

    Don't mess about with anything unless you're sure what you're doing though.

    Go to Control Panel and open System. Device Manager is under the Hardware tab.

    Thanks guys. I knew I had found it before in the control panel but the System through me off. Forgot about there.

    Hi Pete. Meaningful subject has several variations. What might be a meaningful subject to one may not be to another. I'll try tho.

    Plain 'Device Manager' gives no hint of the problem.
