Have you tried rebooting? The yellow "splats" signify a device conflict which is usually resolved by rebooting the system; it allows the PnP devices to reallocate resources which should fix the problem.

If that doesn't work, there's a few other things to try. You can manually look at each device w/ the splat and see what the actual problem is and try to fix it. Or you can manually delete each device from Device Manager then reboot and let your computer find them and install them again.
