  1. Sunddenly I can't access Device Manager in Control Panel


    I tried to open Device Manager in Control Panel and got an error message saying I am blocked. I'm the Administrator. What the hell? When does MS ever stop messing with my system? Complete invasion of privacy.

    Is there a way to fix this? All I want to do is check to see if I have the latest driver for my video card!

    :)
