Totally completely and utterly lost

[novw]

I was already very very very afraid this would happen. I have bouhgt myself a wildfire android thingie.

I installed HTC-sync-setup, because that seems to be the only way to get the drivers on the computer
I installed myphonexplorer1.8 and am stuck straight out of the box:

I changed the settings to phone with android and automatic detection. I connect the phone to the pc (sounds appear from the speakers on my pc, so I am assuming the connection is made). On the phone I select "charge onlyl".

I click "connect" in myphoneexplorer and after "searching wifi IP of phone": connection to phone could not be established. No device attached to USB.

From the help I learn something about ADB drivers. Whats that? (some XDA links pop up in google, linux stuff I do not understand). does this last part means myphoneexplorer is only for the very few people that "speak" techno babble stuff?

The drivers are included in the HTC-Sync-Setup. I think the last thing you have to do is to enable "USB-Debugging" on phone. You find it in Settings-Applications-Development

MyPhoneExplorer shows this hints also if you click on the "Help"-Button in the error message

this is why I hate localized phones

On that screen I have

USB foutopsporing
standby
neplocaties toestaan

foutopsporing translates to search for errors. Is that remotely the same as debugging?

That seems to be USB debugging.

And I have set my phone to english, looks more serious that way ^^
