Show Unplugged Devices in Device Manager on Windows XP

Advertisements

I frequently use this when I have problems with machines not detecting USB devices correctly:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.

2. At a command prompt, type the following command , and then press ENTER:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

3. Type the following command a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

start devmgmt.msc

4. Troubleshoot the devices and drivers in Device Manager.

NOTE: Click Show hidden devices on the View menu in Device Managers before you can see devices that are not connected to the computer.

5. When you finish troubleshooting, close Device Manager.

6. Type exit at the command prompt.
