I had this exact problem on my Vista x64 system. I solved it by doing the following: Ctrl-Alt-Del, start Task Manager, under Processes tab, check for "shuame_helper.exe". It was there from running RootGenius. I clicked End Process, then went back to the command prompt and entered adb start-server and it worked!
