In order to change settings in the Device Manager, you must know how to open it up first.

From: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc750187.aspx

"There are two ways to open Device Manager:

  1. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties, then click the Device Manager tab.

  2. Open Control Panel, double-click the System icon, then select the Device Manager tab."

From: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/win_xp_dm.htm

"1) Change hardware configuration settings.

2) Change advanced settings and properties for devices.

3) Change resource settings."

Like everything else dealing with computers, you could really mess up the computer if you do not know what you are doing.

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc750187.aspx

"Be very careful when making changes in Device Manager. You may accidentally disable or change the configuration of a device so that it doesn't work properly. In turn, this may cause your computer not to boot when you restart Windows. Be sure to document all current configuration settings before making the first change to any device."

The question that was asked came from Jean Andrews "Guide to Software Managing, Maintaining, and Troubleshooting."
