Fixing a problem with Device Manager<br />
Device Manager provides a way to check and change the<br />
configuration of a device.<br />
Checking device properties<br />

Changing the default settings using Device Manager can cause other<br />
conflicts that make one or more devices unusable. Device Manager<br />
is a configuration tool for advanced users who understand<br />
configuration parameters and the ramifications of changing them.<br />
Device Manager provides a way to view the properties of a device.<br />
Properties include the name of the manufacturer, the type of device,<br />
the drivers installed, and the system resources assigned to the<br />
device.<br />
To check a device’s properties:<br />
1 Click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, and then<br />
under System, click Device Manager.<br />
2 To view the device(s) installed, double-click the device type.<br />
3 To view the properties, double-click the device.<br />
The operating system displays the device Properties dialog<br />
box, which provides an array of tabs. They may include:<br />
❖ The General tab, which provides basic information about<br />
the device.<br />
❖ The Resources tab, which lists resources assigned to the<br />
device. This tab does not appear if the device is not using<br />
resources.<br />
❖ The Driver tab, which displays the drivers being used by<br />
the device. This tab also provides options for updating the<br />
driver or rolling back the driver in case the new version is<br />
causing a problem.<br />
The tabs that appear in the dialog box vary from one device to<br />
another.<br />
