Hi,

Many thanks this solved my problem in a few minutes.

The new installation of NIS 2012 that I carried out over the top of the existing NIS 2012 must have changed the permissions in the registery. Once I reset these the device manager came back to life – and after rebooting I had all my network connections again.

The only thing I had to change was the final step to tick “Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects” and OK it.

Thanks again

Mike

I am having the same issue… win7 initialy allowed my to do everything fine, now as an administrative user I can’t do or see anything like everyone else.

I have tried all your methods will no results… tried several other little tricks, but again nothing.

I really do not want to have to start with a clean system again.

Thanks in advance for any help you be able to offer

Here’s the solution, go to “C:\Windows\System32\” locate your “svchost.exe” then right click select run as administrator.And lastly, restart your computer. That’s it and it works. All my drives are visible in the device manager.
