The Device Manager is a tool included with Microsoft Windows operating systems, which can display and control the hardware attached to a computer running a Windows-based operating system. When any hardware device in the computer is not working, it is highlighted in the device manager and the user can identify and fix the problem. As well as providing control, it also provides a list of hardware, which can be sorted by various criteria.
In Windows 95, 98, and ME the Windows device manager can be started by clicking Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> System icon >> clicking the Device Manager tab.
In Windows 2000 and XP by clicking Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> System icon >> Hardware tab >> clicking the Device Manager Button.
