i try to get into device manager on windows xp home but i keep getting
an error message."windows cannot find the specified device,path, or
file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access the item" i
have administrator permission on my pc but still cannot get in. this
only happened in the last few days.

From Kelly's site
Run devmgmt.msc or if it is truly gone, create another one by running "mmc /a", adding the device manager plug-in and saving that to devmgmt.msc in %windir%\system32.

I tried that, but couldn't add the device manager plug-in. In the list of
snap ins to install, device manager was listed with the others, but it was
the only one that didn't display a provider. Can it be that the device
manager is not on the computer and if so, where can I get it?
