[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 596507, member: 83973"] The DevCon download I use is from this page - [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272]The DevCon command-line utility functions as an alternative to Device Manager[/url] It doesn't take long to execute 'devcon rescan' - it's only looking for new devices i.e. plug-n-play hardware that is present but not installed - I've just run it on the Vista laptop I'm using to write this and it took about a second or two (since there were no new devices present). DevCon is really nice utility - you can use it to restart specific devices, so if you have something that doesn't resume from sleep properly, just create a batch file that is run on resume (e.g. via TV-server or Windows Task Scheduler) with the devcon restart commands in it.
