It depends on windows system but usually: you go to system properties look at hardware devices Right click on the yellow (has to be yellow if it's driver problem) icon representing your mobile device select property Then go on the driver tab select update driver choose the bottom selection find on local computer then choose manually From the windows opened look for driver disk the bottom right button Choose the driver from the folder \extras\google\usb_driver\i386 (or amd64 for and). Remember to uncheck the show only compatible hardware. Then choose the driver When windows warn your about possible incompatibility go on. For my mobile it works, but depend on your mobile if it work or not. Hope this help, bye. answered May 22 '12 at 18:19

	If you installed Eclipse have Android SDK, go to DDMS. If the list device display "?????????" you do adb kill-server and then adb start-server. Please make sure you install USB driver and enable debug mode. answered May 22 '12 at 15:48

I had this problem suddenly crop up in Windows 7 with my Nexus One - somehow the USB drivers had been uninstalled. I ran android-sdk/SDK Manager.exe, checked Extras/Google USB Driver and installed it. Then I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, and ran "adb devices" to confirm the phone was attached. This doesn't work for all phones, just the ones listed here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html answered Oct 12 '12 at 17:28

	I have a Droid 3 (Verizon). I went to Motorola here and found the driver for the device 'Motorola ADB Interface' which was showing in device manager. It's kind of a big download for just the driver, but during installation it found it and installed correctly. answered Apr 7 at 6:50 Simon_Weaver 21.9k27180285

	Don't forget to go to your device and enable Settings->Developer Options->USB debugging. answered 3 hours ago
