[CGUYS] Troubleshooting Win7 Devices and Printers

2010-02-05 Thread Quentin A. Fisher
When I select this from the menu (in order to set a default printer) the little 
green scroll bar moves SLOWLY to the right but never gets all the way. Even 
after 24 hours! I have a scanner and two printers, and both work well; its only 
this devices and printers manager that hangs up.
 
Anyone have an  idea where to even start to troubleshoot this annoyance?

You can try running chkdsk and defrag. You don't have any old network
printers that have been removed that it could be looking for? Also
