Currently running windows XP with service pack 1. I had previously disabled plug and play through msconfig becuase the computer would freeze on start up with plug and play enabled. Now after I think I have finally solved the problem I go back into msconfig to re-enable it and its gone. No joke. It is completely off of the list. The hide microsoft services box is unchecked. Does anyone know whats going on ?

Try going into Start menu->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services. Find the Plug and Play service, start it, and set the startup type to Automatic.

Thanks DMR i'll try that right now

Thanks that did work but after enabling it again i got back my old problems that I thought I had fixed *sigh* lol thanks anyways guys I'll try and sort this one out myself. Be back in the posts in a few days !
