Same huge problem with the E-Ten Glofish brand on Windows Premium.
In the hardware overview you will must of the time see a well
connected USB-device.
The 'Windows Mobile Device'-section otherwise searches for the correct
driver for the 'Windows Mobile Device'.
Whatever you will try, even upgrade to all possible Vista-upgrades -
nothing will help.

If you connect the same mobile device to a WindowsXP-machine with
ActiveSync (e.g. version 4.5.) installed, the problem doesn't occur.
It may be necessary to reset the device whilst or shortly after
launching ActiveSync.

The question many PDA-users ask themselves is: why didn't Microsoft
also keep the possibility to use ActiveSync, or a similar technology,
on WindowsVista. For the moment you can't use ActiveSync at all on
WindowsVista.
So if you experience the unovercomeable WindowsVista Windows Mobile
Device driverproblem, you'd better have a XP-PC in your neighbourhood
if you want to sync things.

Microsoft doesn't really seem to have a solid solution to the Windows
Mobile Device Center 6.1 driver obstacle. The manufacturers haven't
got the solution either.
Drivers not signed for WindowsVista?
Forget about WindowsVista (and WMDC) then.
