Hello,
I'm not able to get into the Device Manager by,
right clicking on Computer > properties > Device Manager
If I use the Advanced system settings I can get in.
Any ideas on how to repair this?
Thanks (New to Vista)

The Device Manager is under the Hardware tab when you click on Properties. Is it there on yours? Does the button appear or is it gone?
Only if I use the Advanced system settings am I able to get in.Quote:

In Vista, go Start>Control Panel>Device Manager.
However, I'm also wondering why "right clicking on Computer > properties > Device Manager" doesn't work. What happens when you click on Device Manager?
When i use the, Start>Control Panel>Device ManagerQuote:

What EXACTLY happens when you try?Quote:

Nothing at all!
If I use the Advanced system settings , I get the user account control popup
And I get that on all but Device Manager
It must be some registry setting corrupt, but it'd take a while to investigate.
Not sure about why the method you're trying isn't working, but if you're right-clicking on the Computer icon anyway then just pick Manage instead of Properties from the menu.
