USB devices are either to be plugged in during software installation, or after software installation. The installer may tell you what to do. I would not plug in the Iconia myself, until all of fthis installer nonsense is finished. Otherwise, it might just attempt to use vanilla MTP and show up as a disk or something. I don't really know what to expect, in terms of where to look or what window should pop up, when the Iconia is connected. If it was an MTP device, you'd think it would look like a disk or something.

HTH, Paul Thanks. I will save this message and try these suggestions later. BTW the install of the Acer USB driver does say to unplug the device before trying to install. I did that. Windows Driver Package -Acer is listed in add/remove. There is nothing in the Size column. There is also an entry for .net Framework 4 extended. Since I don't use Media player, I am pretty sure it is not up to date. BTW when "new hardware found" setup tries to run, there is something in the install steps that asks if you want to specify a directory. I have never been able to type a directory into that part and have XP find anything there. |

I have never been able to type a directory into that part and have XP find anything there. Install some version of WMP that has MTP and try again. I don't know if they're allowed to bundle MTP with their own drivers or not. That's why WMP might be necessary for WinXP. Just for fun, you can try Device Manager, when you plug in the Iconia, and see if anything is recognized. Also, check the Iconia, and see if there are any controls that select USB Mass Storage versus MTP mode. MTP should really be mode-less, in that the MTP "standard" allows both the processor in the tablet, and the external (USB connected) computer, to access storage on the tablet at the same time. So it shouldn't really need controls. Still, crack the Iconia manual, and see if there is advice in there. Paul |
