After upgrading to 0.8.8 Caliber sends an error message when I'm trying to connect my Kindle DX. My operating system is Windows XP. This is the error message

calibre, version 0.8.8
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

Traceback (most recent call last):

I read another post on this forum and saw Kovid Goyal advice to 'Debug Device Detection' and post the results here. Here are the results.
