Exclamation New PRS-700: "USB Device Not Recognized" -- HELP!

So my PRS-700 arrived just today and I played around with it to familiarize myself (im pleased with it) and after about 30 min of use I figured id recharge it. To my dismay, upon plugging it in, it the wretched "USB Device Not Recognized" balloon popped up. I hoped XP would automatically install the drivers but I figured since its new it wouldnt. I installed Sony eBook Library 2.5 and then reconnected the device and it still wouldnt recognize it so I tried plugging it into a different port, same balloon. I cold reboot the computer, same problem. Ive gotten as far as getting the device to say "USB Conencted" but the red charging light does not light up. Checked the Sony website for new drivers, its the same 2.5. To make matters worse, while I was going through all this, the Low Battery warning popped up so now my PRS is near dead.. What do I do? How do I get it to recognize it? HELP!

Cliffs: My new PRS-700 is not recognized by XP, even after installing SEL 2.5 .. WTF?!
