Hi to everybody with this particular problem.
Apart from the device manager not opening I also had problems with
opening certain applications from the start menu. I tried shellexview as
suggested in other forums to no avail.
I have finally solved my problem by deleting this context menu handler
{FFFFE5C1-34AF-4d4d-B3D3- 5BB86A2BAA7B} which seems to belong to
Virgin Broadband PC guard.
The full path here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{FFFFE5C1-34AF-4d4d-B3D3-
5BB86A2BAA7B} = C:\Program Files\Zero Knowledge\Freedom\AVContextR.dll
...
I'm sure I don't need to remind anybody to back up first but I don't
know yet what repercussions I might get by deleting this value. If i get
any I will post back
Hope this has been some help
