Hi all,

Recently my Mp3 started having problems ( it wouldn't show up on my computer and wouldn't charge ) I scoured the internet for solutions and was directed to the Device manager. I can't , however, open up the device manager through either control panel>system ( comp says " the file cannot be found" ) or through start>run dvmgmt.msc ( comp says " windows cannot find dvmgmt.msc......." ) It's not affecting my life a great deal at the moment, but I feel that this may be quite serious - I'm not sure.
I hope there's an easy solution to this one - I couldn't find anyone with the same problem, so here I am.
I'm not too savvy with computers so go easy on me please.

Thanks in advance CHRIS.

P.s Mp3 works fine on other comps so I'm pretty sure there's no problem there.

Please try this first: http://www.pchelpforum.com/windows-x...1-sfc-exe.html

I ran the scan, I'm not sure whether or not I should have some log for it though.
I tried opening the device manager, but I was given the same message. Have I done it correctly? thanks in advance.

What next?

The correct run command is: devmgmt.msc

no luck with devmgmt.msc

Ok, try running this reg fix: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm (scroll down to line 107,
right-hand column --> Restore the Device Manager).

It's likely that if this (and the scannow fix) doesn't work, you could well be looking at a repair install.
