  1. How to clear "Multimedia Devices" in Device and Printers folder?


    I have 200 bluetooth devices because of some weird bug. They're all offline. How do I delete them all *at once*? I get the option to delete a device only when I choose it individually. When I select them all, a "Remove Device" after right clicking them isn't available...

    Multimedia Devices

    I sheepishly admit that for lo these many years, I have never paid much attention to the listing of "Multimedia Devices" in the "Devices and Printers" listing under Control Panel. Now, however, it matters. I need to know exactly what these icons represent.
    I've always used the old school Windows Media Player, adding tracks to my library from a music folder either local or a defined network drive. What does one do with a Multimedia Device? Can someone point me to a help file that explains this?

  3. usb device not recognized (malfunction) - Printer

    Hope somebody can help a non-techy here.
    I have a canon IX4000 printer, and had been using it without problem. The next day (having touched nothing), I got a USB device not recognized warning, and that it has a malfunction (this is under Windows XP).

    I've tried the following:
    - deinstalling all USB drivers under device manager
    - system restore to several days prior, when I knew the printer was working
    - trying a different USB lead (tested the lead on another device, so know it works)
    - plugged lead into every other available USB port on the computer (front and back).
    - tried plugging it into another computer (comes up with the same malfunction warning)
    - deinstalled the printer drivers, downloaded and reinstalled them.

    Nothing I've tried works. I know the printer functions as I can start it up under service mode and print off test pages without problems, but my computer just won't have it. Could it be a hardware failure, and if not is there anything else I can try that isn't listed above?

    Really grateful to anyone who can reply. *Smile How to clear "Multimedia Devices" in Device and Printers folder? :)

    Multiple Duplicates in Devices and Printers

    In Devices and Printers and under Multimedia Devices, there are multiple icons for multimedia devices. I deleted the excess copies once and left one of each there and they all came back. Any idea on how to stop this behavior?
