Vista Device Manager

Hi,
How can you tell in device manager if a device is disabled? I read that a
red "X" would be next to the device with the problem. When I manually
disable a device by right mouse clicking on it and choosing "disable", I get
an arrow to the left of the device pointing downwards. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Mitch

Interesting....But Vista shows downward arrow on disabled device icon !!

Disabled and problems are 2 different things.
If you have a problem with a Device>right-click on it>then left-click
Properties> It will say whether it is "No driver installed", disabled, etc
