you did not follow the instructions then if you had the cable permanently connected after the drivers are installed you have to connect the 7000 for the 3 drivers to recognise the 7000 automatically (3 sets of confirmation dialogs in a row)?

usb should only be connected after both computer and 7000 are powered up. You can leave the cable permanently in the back of the computer, but I would plug it into the 7000 after you switch the 7000 on, once the home screen has appeared.
