There must have happened something more than that. According to your earlier description, calibre refused to interact with the device on account of the firmware version. This shows that at that point, calibre had access to the database, and that therefore we can know that windows was able to find a driver (the generic mass storage driver). The usb problem appeared only later.
I did a short test. I modified the data on the device in a way that it identifies itself as eReader-99.10. As expected, windows does connect to the ereader.
