If your hardware does include a switch to connect the pullup resistor
(P0.31, usb_connect) this should already happen in the bootloader. Make
sure you completely reset all USB registers in the LPC in your
application. Also you might trying to increase the wait time before you
reconnect in your application for Windows (bootloader.c):

            // disconnect from bus
            USBHwConnect(FALSE);

            // wait some ms so that called app might safely re-connect
usb
            for (count=0;count<300000;count++) count=count;

If pullup disconnect works the simplest is to press reset (a couple of
100ms) for a restart of the bootloader. Or a jump to address zero with a
disconnect of the pullup and some wait time in your app.
