Hi guys,

We're trying to reproduce the issue. I have a few questions for the
few of you which still have issues:

- Which version of Windows are you using? XP, Vista, W7, 32 or 64bit.
- Did you *ever* install an android USB driver before? SDK 1.0/1.1 had
one and it has been updated in 1.5.
- When you plug the device and go to the Device Manager, is it listed
as unknown or as an adb device?
- Did Windows ever prompt you about installing a driver for an unknown device?

Sorry if some of the questions are generic, I'm trying to get broad
enough before drilling in specifics.
