Download and install went fine. After restart my Pdanet was restored, but I can not find my Andriod on the system even though the message “my device is ready to use” came up. I wonder what this driver is supposed to do.

Mr. Boss

@nagelfar: You are welcome!

@Emrys: If you have to use ADB or Fastboot, or if you want to put your device in USB debugging mode. Honestly unless you explicitly need the drivers, you don’t need to install them.
