Device Manager is blank

[bmwbrett]

Ok, i bought a new Jaton Geforce 6600gt video card and to update the drivers for it, It tells me i need to goto the device manager when my new card is in my computer. So when i goto the device manager window, it is blank, nothing shows up. Now ive been trying to figure this problem out and ive been working on this problem for 8 hours now and i could use a little help  :-/

You can try running system restore to a previous date when it all worked properly, but...in short, if Device Manager is blank then your system assumes you have no hardware.

If you try clicking on action and then scan for hardware changes, if that fails to help then you will have to reinstall your OS.
