I hate myself sometimes... Ever reach a point in life where you wish everything on your computer had a magic anti-doom UNDO button? Or how about some anti-13 year old WoW addicted idiot proof system configuration screen?
Well, i had a problem with my Blizzard Downloader for the new WoW patch
(not currently my priority anymore, so don't bother asking why/how/what). I went to System Configuration Utility and ran Selective Restart without Startup Items checked in- like the Blizz help site said (still my fault, not theirs) and I came up with my normal desktop... except now the internet, volume, everything useful didn't work. So I went back to System Configuration Utility and selected Normal Restart. I ran it... and now none of my hardware devices work!!!
I went to Computer>Properties>Hardware>Devices and found that the LIST WAS TOTALLY EMPTY!!! WHAT THE!? I'm scared on the computer's behalf (well, mostly mine if I don't get this fixed before my mom finds out...) please help me. No insults I really need help!!! If you cant give anything specific... any form of UNDO will be very, VERY APPRECIATED!!!
P.S. If i didn't put quite enough emphasis on it before: HAEELPA!!!!!!!!!
P.P.S.
EDIT: Dear lord... It's worse than I originally thought...
Turns out all of my devices AND services have been turned off. Specific solutions probably won't work -I'm now pretty sure I need to completely reactivate all services and devices.
