Where can I download a new device detector?

[MargSkrob]

During a crash my computer appears to have lost its ability to detect all my
hardware devices, printer, scanner, disc player. I need to download
something to fix.

Try a support group for the relevant version of Windows...

You probably need to repair your win* installation, not download anything

Re-installation of hardware program actually does occur although at the point
where I am prompted to actually connect the device is where it fails. I
continuously am prompted to connect the device eventhough I have already done
so therefore the re-installation will not complete.

This is a newsgroup for MS Office.. you should post in a 'hardware'
newsgroup for answers to problems like yours.. in the meantime, re-install
all of your devices using the original installation media..

This group is for issues with MS Office. I have read your question several
times and I do not see anything Office related. Please repost in a group
pertaining to your operating system.

You have read her question? Since when do you decide what is what in this
group. This person was pointed in the right direction long before your post
and not needed as usual.

Sorry to have bothered all--I was doing the best I could on what little
knowledge I possess. I am fairly new to this entire computer thing. I guess
MS Office differes from Windows in a way that I dont understand. Will locate
help elsewhere.

You may find it easier to use the default newsreader - Outlook Express, and
add a new newsgroup, the MS newsgroup server is "msnews.microsoft.com" Then
post to the ng for your o/s eg win2000/windowsxp.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341 may help with
your problem.
