Root [1st Gen] Kfu 0.9.6 help!

I'm so frustrated. I bought my two boys their own Kindle Fire last Christmas. I rooted them not long after to install Android Market and give them access to my apps that I had bought from there. I really hadn't touched them since that time. Now I want to install Jellybean on them and I find out that although I ONCE had root with Burrito Root, I no longer do? WHAT? :mad:

No problem right? I'm a pretty smart guy. I know my way around the Android community and it's not my first rodeo. I mean I've rooted multiple devices and flashed countless ROMS.

After researching I found there is an "easy" method for re-establishing root it's now the bain of my existence. I have SDK installed, I have Java Tools installed. My boys Kindle Fire's are found by my laptop.

Here is what I get once I click "run" on the utility:



No matter how many times I uninstall the drivers/re-install the drivers this is what I get.

I've read countless threads on XDA. I'm in so far over my head there that I don't know which side is up. If you can help me re-establish root I would be forever greatful.
 
Make sure that you devices for your kindle reads "Android Composite ADB Interface" and not "Adroid ADB Interface". Should be able to do this by updating it by choosing to update it via internet.

Worked for me.
