I have been rooted since February and up until i bought a new laptop everything has worked great when running adb commands. But one day, after I bought a new laptop, it would not recognize that my droid was connected. So I did some research and one solution I saw was to disable debugging, I did and that and it worked. But now I cannot run any adb commands(error: device not found). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the usb drivers but still that didn't fix the problem. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to fix this problem.
 
My debugging and mounting appear to be okay...I'm unable to start up ADB/SDK tools in order to perform any adb commands with my PC....

Now I'm getting a message saying "adb server is out of date. killing...."

any time I try now it says device not found....

I updated my SDK Tools, my Motorola drivers are up to date...the only thing left to do is to switch to another ROM to see if it is unique to CM 5.0.7.1, as I did not have a problem until updated to that...
