to get to Device manager from
Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management
Or
Control Panel - System - Hardware Tab.
You aren't logged on as an unprivileged user are you ?

Run "devmgmt.msc" or "compmgmt.msc".

Run "mmc", File --> Add/Remove Snap-In, Add, select Device Manager and add it.

Another way would be to go to the "Folder Options" and then set it to hide nothing , show everything and use classic view.
This, is where I think your problem lies.

Good Luck
