Guest redroadster Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Brief history - had my vega just under a week now - updated software to 1.09 over the weekend. tried to install r8 and must have done some thing wrong as vega just stuck on booting - reinstalled 1.09 - all this done on my vista lap top. On my windows 7 desk top when i connect by usb from vega to pc: in devices and printers i see: NVIDIA HARMONY - When i go to devise manager i cannot see the vega at all - this is the same on my windows 7 lap top. I am not screaming for help just trying to find out if it is me or the vega as i am still within my return to shop time - if you know what i mean... If this has been covered before please ignore this - but i have searched the forum with no luck.... thanks in advance...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why your Windows 7 machine does not pick them up perhaps someone else who actually uses that can chip in? Is the W7 machine 32bit or 64bit do you know?

Thanks again.... OK so the original problem about Windows 7 not seeing your Vega is still present but you have a workaround by using your Vista laptop. Hopefully someone else can shed some light on why Windows 7 might behave differently? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drocket12 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi, I had a similar problem on Win 7 x64, whereby the device was not visible in the device manager. I solved it by going to "Control Panel" -> "Devices and Printers", on my laptop the device was visible as "NVIDIA Harmony" so I right clicked the this device and selected "Properties" from the menu, this will display the "NVIDIA Harmony Properties" dialog box. Click the "Hardware" tab then click the "Properties" button at the bottom of the page. Click the "Driver" tab then click the "Uninstall Driver" button and uninstall the drivers. Disconnect the Vega from your laptop, reconnect it and check "Device Manager" to see if your Vega is present, if it is follow these instructions Hope that helps.

Hi Drocket12 - thanks for reply and trying to help me - i did try this - but a soon as i reconnected the vega i got a pop up message saying windows is installing the latest drivers etc - so i was back to square one... it is not really a problem for me now...glad i kept my old laptop...

Guest simonta Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Everyone misses the key step. When uninstalling, also select "Delete drivers". If you just uninstall and don't delete, then Windows will simply reinstall the drivers the next time you plug in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simonta, i did delete the drivers - it must be something i was doing but just could not work it out - thanks for the reply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll chip in for the last time. I normally delete the Android devices (whatever is present) and then start the 'find new hardware' routine and when it finds the Vega simply point the driver request at the correct usb_driver directory but you have to be very careful you pick the right one especially if you have done masses of ROM updates and have multiple usb_driver directories already. This method has always worked for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J Mo Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi guys, Just bought an advent vega but branded a viewsonic viewpad 10s... Just spent two days trying to get a male to male usb cable (GRRRR) only to find that my laptop recognises nothing at all... Its in debug mode. There is nothing under USB devices, nothing under Other Devices, nothing under connected hardware... nothing!! Ive downloaded USBdeview and that doesnt even show it! Any ideas??

I had the same issue with my Vega - my Win7 x64 box would not see the ADB device, no matter how much I tried, all it saw was the Nvidia Harmony device. I used USBDeview to uninstall the Nvidia Harmony device (and driver files); once I reconnected the Vega, it picked up the ADB Bridge device as well as the Nvidia Harmony.
