when connecting the PRS505 to my Windows7 PC USB, I hear the "ba-ding" noise of a USB connection, but the virtual drives never appear. Device manager shows a USB connection with a yellow "!" which says "unable to start"..

tried updating driver. no joy
tried a different cable no joy
tried a different USB socket - it went ba-ding then ba-dong (USB connect/disconnect but no clues)

On my XP machine I have no problems at all

The Win7 PC reads other USB devices more or less OK, but seems to have got an objection to the PRS-505. Any ideas if this is fixable?
