In the services list (under "Administrative Tools" and then "Services"), for some reason "Function Discovery Provider Host" and "Function Discovery Resource Publication" were both set to disabled. I set them both to automatic, started both services, and restarted winamp... it discovered my device before I could even click the button.

This worked for me as well on Win7 x64. Made sure both services were enabled and set to automatic, restarted Winamp and Swoosh! Winamp not only detected the HTC Device but also my HP Touchpad (Dual boot with Android OS).

Now if I can just get it to keep syncing when the screen lock kicks in...

[Update].. It worked once. Got to 73% on the sync then frozen. Refuses to see either device anymore.
