Windows ADB driver problem

[AndroidC_Dude]

Relatively fresh re-install of WinXP, and it won't recognize the drivers for my Evo. (In Device Manager, it shows "ADB" next to a yellow question-mark icon under "Other" device category). I've tried removing and re-installing the driver (from SDK r08), but it complains that the .inf file has no info on my device. I've tried this on someone else's PC and it works there, so it's my PC/SW. Any idea how to go about fixing this?

Thanks!

Delete the driver once again.

Reboot your computer and go

For some reason EVO needs a special HTC driver.

IIRC, HTC install on windows other stuff with the driver. You can clean it up with Add/Remove software.

Yep -- just installed HTC Sync and that solved the problem. Odd that I did this a few months ago, (and I did not install Sync back then) and had no problems with it. Same PC, same HD, same HW, same OS, same phone. Just had to re-install WinXP due to a crash.

Still have one prob now, which is that Eclipse is not recognizing the phone, but I'll investigate that before I say more about it.

Much thanks!

Did another fresh re-install of Eclipse, SDK, etc and grabbed all new packages, and now my phone is recognized. Thanks all!
