It will say "scanning for plug n play compliant hardware".

This usually does the trick. Sometimes it takes no time flat, and other times it takes like 5 minutes =\. Occasionally it will not recognize the device or it will freeze up, but just close out and retry.
The computer could not see my HTC phone and ALL I had to do was go to the phone settings on the phone and click "connect to computer" its so easy!
I hope this helps!
