Calibre <> PRS-500

Wow, been looking at Calibre for my PRS-500 and so want to use it instead of eReader. Been looking for instructions on how to get my PRS to work with Calibre but can only find bits and pieces on how to stop eReader and get PRS to recognize Calibre. (Window XP, latest eReader, latest Calibre, not too keen on deleting drivers until I'm sure everything will work). I'm really anxious to start using Calibre so much that I erased all my books on PRS and need to fill it up again.
Anybody have some line by line instructions on how to make it all work.

Never use eReader and Calibre at the same time when plugin the PRS. Close eReader and open Calibre and then plug our reader. It should work directly!

When I plug in my PRS ereader starts automatically so I deleted the Sony ereader on my computer, then started Caibre and plugged in my PRS. Same response, PRS indicates a connection but Calibre says no unit is plugged in so I re-installed Sony ereader. I have a work around for now which gets my books on the reader:
1. Convert the books I want to PRS format.
2. Use Calibre to save only the PRS books to a new folder, close Calibre.
3. Start Sony ereader locate the new books in the directory I just saved them to.
4. Move the books to my reader.
Yes, I know Calibre would be so much better but if I can't get it to work this is the only way I can get my reading done.

I'll keep looking for a way to get the Calibre to see my PRS in the meantime.
Thanks...
