That's a wee-bit puzzling? The detected USB devices are stored at the Registry key 
below. If you expand 'USB' in the left pane, every device should have an entry. If 
you look in the right pane after expanding each device, there's a value 'DeviceDesc'. 
Find the one related to your Tablet and be sure there's no sign of corruption in 
the entries.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\USB
