My understanding of device manager is it's slightly different in Windows 7 as to Vista. You could run device manager directly by typing 'device manager' in the start menu search bar.
If then select 'view' then 'Show hidden devices' this will show hidden devices. You may also need to change the vew to 'Deviced by connection' and see what happens.
Hope this helps

Let's assume (at all peril): You know the names of the relevant DLL & SYS files. They can be found in the relevant INF files.
Locate and delete them. If you can delete them without having to unreg them, they were not loaded. If you don't know what "unreg them" means, Leave Them Alone!

Add a new enviroment variable:
1) WIN+PAUSE to open 'system'
2) 'advanced system settings'
3) 'enviroment variables'
4) under 'system variables', press 'new'
5) enter "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES" under variable name, and "1" under value
6) reboot, device manager should now show all devices.
