Hi

Why properties not showing in device manager?

I don't know what went wrong with my computer but i cant understand why I am not able to surf the internet?
I think its some kind or Virus or an .exe file that is acting upon my system since the properties not showing in device manager. What should I do?


Thanks

I have a similar problem but its not any virus or malware.
The monitor is not being shown in device manager. The monitor is being recognized as a default in the display properties. Is there any way I can update the drivers?

Troubleshooting Device Conflicts with Device Manager

To start Device Manager:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System, and then click the Device Manager tab.

When you select a specific device in Device Manager and then click the Properties button, you see a property sheet. The property sheet has a General tab.
NOTE: Some devices may have other tabs besides the General tab. Not all property sheets have the same tabs; some devices may have a Resource tab, Driver tab, and Settings tab, or some combination of these.
At the top of the property sheet, there is a description of the device. When you click the Resource tab, the window in the middle of the tab indicates which resource types are available for the selected device.
The list box at the bottom contains a Conflicting Device list. This list indicates a conflict with an error code.

I have problem with my display adapter.
Display Adapter is Not Showing In Device Manager. My graphic card is not being shown in the Device manager. I am trying to get it displayed it there but no success. Anyone with some advice or help would be great! Is it the graphics card making problem with my display?

To configure Device Manager to show details:

1. Click Start, click Run, type: cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.
2. Type: set DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS=1, and then press ENTER.
3. Type: start devmgmt.msc, and then press ENTER.

In Device Manager the properties for a device should now provide a Details tab that contains additional information about the device.

You can view the Details tab to see the following device information:
Device Instance ID, Hardware IDs, Compatible IDs, Matching Device ID, Service, Enumerator, Capabilities, Devnode Flags, Config Flags, CSConfig Flags, Ejection Relations, Removal Relations, Bus Relations, Device Upper Filters, Device Lower, Filters, Class Upper Filters, Class Lower Filters, Class Installer, Class Coinstallers, Device Coinstallers, Firmware Revision, Current Power State, Power Capabilities, Power State Mappings.
