System.
3 In the System Properties window, click the Hardware tab, and click Device
Manager.
Windows Vista:
1 Click the Windows Vista Start button™
2 Click Properties→ Device Manager.
NOTE:
The User Account Control window may appear. If you are an
administrator on the computer, click Continue; otherwise, contact your
administrator to continue.
Scroll down the list to see if any device has an exclamation point (a yellow
circle with a [!]) on the device icon.
If an exclamation point is next to the device name, you may need to reinstall
the driver or install a new driver (see "Reinstalling Drivers and Utilities" on
page 43).
