Answer 1

I had this problem using the latest ADT, SDK and Eclipse on Windows 7. I had an old ASUS TF101 and an HTC HD connected with their respective docking software. When I looked in processor tab of the Windows task manager I could see two instances of the adb.exe, one loaded and another one looking like it is trying to load.

I killed the PC connecting software (process in task manager) for the ASUS, the HTC Sync wasn't running. There is now one adb.exe running and both devices are recognised in Eclipse and in the command prompt (adb devices). You may need to restart Eclipse.
