What did you learn from this?

1) Don't mess with the Registry unless you have to.

2) If you're messing around in the Registry, make a backup before you make
any changes.

3) If there's an Unknown device in Device Manager, find a driver for it.
Not edit the Registry.


Learn to provide specifics of your problem. "default 'devices'" in the
registry is just too vague.

Where in the registry?

Example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 3


Solution based on the information you provided. Reinstall Windows.

Because he is a Troll if you did not notice.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

That's kind of the point I was making, it's not that my system isn't working
it's that classes for devices certain devices no longer exist.

All I was saying was regardless of certain advances Windows has made over
the years, this is one area which it is most definately lacking.

Replace Motherboard.

Reinstall Windows, maybe if you like fake jobs.
