I just got a new Kindle 2, plugged the USB in and Windows can't find the drivers to install. It looks and looks and then crashes Windows explorer so that I have to reboot the whole computer. The Kindle never shows up as a drive.

I did some googling and found one post that says the Kindle 2 isn't compatible with Vista 64 bit. Does anyone have a work around for this yet? I just want to transfer and backup files via usb. If this is a known incompatibility it should be more widely publicized.

My Kindle 1 has no problems with it.
