I'm dealing with an empty Device Manager. I've found support
forums on the net, and they describe a process editing the
Registry, something to do with ENUM.

When I get to where they show me in the registry, when I click on
ENUM, the computer automatically reboots.

Is this a virus? Please help! Thank you...


This sounds like a corrupted registry.
Your best bet is to do a System Restore from a time before you
experienced this problem.

Good Luck & HTH,
John
