That's odd, how exactly are you getting to the device manager? Are you doing it by right-clicking on My Computer, going to properties then clicking the hardware tab, or directly from the mmc snap-in? if it's the former method, try the latter. If you don't know how to get there through the mmc, go to Start/Run and type in mmc. At the top click on File/Add/Remove Snap-in..., then when the window pops up click Add.. then select device manager, click add, then close, then ok and there will be your device manager.
An even easier way is to just right-click My Computer and then click on Manage and the device manager will be one of the items on the tree.
Hopefully one of these ways works, but I'm rather doubtful because all these methods go through the mmc, and to be honest, I've never seen that problem before. A quick google search found me nothing useful, but hopefully some of these great minds on the TFP can solve your problem.
