Hey guys,
So I been working on this for days. But last week I installed a shared printer onto my computer. Its an HP printer. But when I installed it, it seemed to install fine, but now my "devices and printers" is completely empty. It doesn't even show my monitors or keyboard. Nothing. 0 Items. Its extremely irritating. I can't print. Excel keeps crashing.
Yes, I've made sure the print spooler service is running.
Yes, I've checked the bluetooth service, even though I'm not sure what that has to do with it.
Yes, I've done "sfc scannow"
Yes, I've done a checkdisk
I can't even start TuneUp Utilities.
Virus Scans have come up negative.
There's no erroneous entries in Device Manager.
So unless you guys have some other ideas. My last resort step is complete wipe and start over. And I really don't want to do that.
FYI: I have Windows 7 Pro 32, set up on a domain.
