There's no "real" driver...

Just connect your Viewpad 7 to your PC.
A window pops up where you can select "setup.exe" - select it.
Then a few drivers get installed (perhaps a restart is necessary)

Seems like the Viewpad 7 has a virtual drive which gets mounted when connecting it to a PC - it's shown up as virtual CD-drive for me under Windows XP and Windows 7.

PS: The drivers are also located on the virtual CD-drive in a directory.

Make sure you run the file from the virtual optical drive if you have autorun disabled.

Question How to remove the virtual drive

I have already installed the drivers from this drive, but whenever I connect the device, the virtual CD-ROM drive still appears. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

I always open the Sync tool then (do nothing, no sync or so).
That's the only way my Windows 7 PC recognizes the tablet via ADB.

I have been doing that as well, but it's just annoying to have this extra drive that is of no use and just sits there taking up a drive letter.

Now i manage to install the drivers.
I go to the command line in windows and write :
adb usb
adb devices, and get this:
List of devices attached
FM6120420141

Then i do,
adb shell, and nothing happens.

Ive tried several commands and nothing works, what m i doing wrong here ?
