I am rooted, running 2.1 on Windows 7 64-bit.
I have the AndroidSDK installed.
I downloaded the USB Driver update via Android SDK.
In my device manager I show "Other Devices>ADB (with yellow exclamation point).
I press update driver software and navigate to the folder (C:\AndroidSDK\usb_driver).
"Windows could not find driver software for your device."
Phone is in USB Debug mode, and I've tried all 3 connection types (Charge only; HTC Sync [which I have on my computer, but the phone can't find it]; and Disk drive).
In cmd, ADB devices show NO listed devices (yes, I'm in the correct directory).
Busybox is installed on phone.
I've tried multiple usb ports on computer.

Any help? Thanks!
Same thing happened to me, and i am on w7 64bit.
Try this:
1 Uninstall SDK and HTC Sync from your computer completely.
2 Reinstall both
3 Plug your phone in via USB
4 Go to devices on your computer and see if there is a yellow "!" on the android device, if there is, right click, troubleshoot and reinstall driver
To test it open up a cmd prompt in your SDK tools file by opening your android-sdk-windows folder wherever you saved it, open up the tools file and in the top bar type "cmd" and run the following commands..
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line, if you don't then something is wrong.
That SHOULD work, it worked fine for me, if it doesn't i dont know what to tell ya.
I had to futz with the ".inf" file in the USB driver folder to get the driver install to work correctly with Windows 7 x64 Pro (You didn't say which version of Win 7 you have).
Find the usb_driver folder underneath your SDK installation and using the "Notepad" program, add these lines to the file "android_winusb.inf" (in the "[Google.NTx86]" section):
Using Windows 7 and Droid Eris. For some reason, the ADB drivers would never install correctly otherwise.
Out of the box, there is no way for the SDK-downloaded driver to install correctly on Win7 x64 (perhaps also any version of Win 7) for the Eris.
OTOH, they will install if you edit the .inf file according to the instructions given previously in this post - that's how I did it most recently.
More than one way to skin a cat - installing HTC Sync can work, and it's possible that running the RUU installer will also configure the driver correctly for Win 7.
