To view the "Device Manager " on Windows XP:

1. From the "Start Menu", click on the "Control Panel " icon

2. In the "Control Panel", double-click on the "System" icom; this will open the "System Properties" window

3. At the top of the "System Properties" window, click the "Hardware" tab

4. When the "Hardwarte" tab opens, click the "Device Manager" button

Uses include:

  • The ability to view all hardware devices connected to the machine (and sort them by many different catagories)
  • Troubleshooting devices that are not working properly
  • Driver management (installing, uninstalling, roll back)
  • Quickly see which hardware devices are installed correctly and drivers are maintained properly. (Probably the most common use of the device manager)
