Re: Missing Application Manager driver

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Galen....thx for the advice.

Just for clarification, I found where this device is listed (I would have
never even known I had such a device if I hadn't received the error message
that it's driver was missing). Here is how I got to any info there is on it:
Control Panel/Administrative Tools/System Tools/Device Manager/Other
Devices/Application Management/Properties/Details: DeviceInstanceId
ROOT\LEGACY_APPMGMT\0000

My puter has slowed somewhat (I already fixed any DMA issues), and some
applications refuse to load (MSN Messenger for example). Don't know if that
is just a result of installing XP or if it is related to the missing
Application Management.
