On XP Pro, I used to have Kovid's version of the drivers installed. One day, there was an error in the device manager, so I uninstalled the driver. I was several versions behind on this machine, so I decided to update while I was at it. After uninstalling the driver, here's what I did:

- Update calibre (now 0.4.95)
- Re-connect the prs-500
- manually select the driver to install
- reboot

After installing the new driver, the machine booted up fine & the device is visible in 'device manager'. I have a section labeled 'LibUSB-Win32 Devices', which expands with a 'Sony Reader'. When I open properties for 'Sony Reader', it says that the device is working properly.

I'm kind of stuck here. What diagnostics can I use to see what's going on?
