Or have you tried the dongle in a different PC?

I think so, but you can find them for 25€ or just 7€. Maybe they have different quality control levels, this is common on other consumer electronic devices.
To my knowledge there are only three shops that do a quality control check on the dongles for sdr use, and fit an esd diode if needed. They are Jetvision, Nooelec and CosyCave.

Shaky, remember too that you'll need different zadig drivers with Win7 than with WinXP.
Bethy I remembered you saying that. Thanks anyway for the reminder

Unplug the USB cable, then plug back. It should do the trick.

I don't work for Microsoft Tech support.
Whenever my dongle has this problem, I just unplug the USB cable and then reconnect it. It work.
