I've had this problem and solved it after reading this link:

The article says to carefully check what registry entries you have in
the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers tree
compare the keys you see on your computer with those from another clean
installation of Vista.
I've found a difference in the ContextMenuHandlers tree, I had a
registry key referring to a file named CopyPathExt.dll and after I
removed the registry key, the Device Manager link in the System dialog
box has begun to work again!!
Attached is an image of the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers tree after removing the
CopyPathExt.dll mentioned above.
