I had exactly the same problem, very frustrating. the device would show up in the device manager but not in windows explorer, I think you need to clean up whatever default driver that is installed by windows, I did the following:
1. uninstall the driver in the device manager with option "delete the driver software for this device" 1. reconnect the Nexus tablet 2. let windows install a default driver which will be inadequate 3. uninstall again the device in the device manager with the option "delete the driver software for this device" 4. let windows try to find the driver, this process will fail 5. go back to the device manager and right click the failed device and update driver 6. choose the driver location in the android sdk directory (android/extra/google/usb_driver) On Friday, August 10, 2012 11:39:08 AM UTC-4, mkh wrote: > > Trying to force feed myself Windows to build character, and the seemly > trivial thing of plugging in a Nexus 7 to a Dell xps 15z Tand debugging a > "hello world" app on it from Eclipse Juno with the latest ADT plugin has me > stumped. > > Developer options were turned on, and USB debugging enabled. > > The device just does not show up, not in Eclipse, or in "adb devices". > > The first time I had not installed the USB driver from the sdk.
