Hi all,

Having gotten tired of reading all the device detection bug reports by people on whose machines WMI is broken, I decide to hold my breath and wade into the windows API in the hopes of finding a non WMI based way to detect devices.

I think I succeeded (at least, it works for me with all my devices on XP, Vista and 7). But it needs more testing, so please try it out and let me know...

Thanks.
