And if you navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurentControlSet\Enum\Root\System how many of the 4-digit subkeys [eg 0000] have Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator as the data for DeviceDesc?
Export the System key, then delete them [both, or just one that looks wrong.. :) Mine is 0000]?
Check Device Mgr again.
Reinstall the PnP SDE with the machine.inf trick. [via Add Hardware, with Machine.Inf, swenum.sys and streamci.dll in a temp directory]
