NOOK HD+ connection to PC running XP

Hi,

I have just bought a NOOK HD+ device which I am very happy with.

I followed the instructions to connect it to my pc running XP SP3 which said that the MTP driver would be installed so that I could access the device.
It may have loaded (or attempted) to load the driver but when I look at the device on Windows Explorer, it just shows NOOK instead of My Nook and when I try to copy anything to it, it says it is Read-only and cannot copy. It is showing it as a Removable Disk which is incorrect.

I looked in the Driver list within System and it shows the drivers as not being loaded so I went directly to MS and downloaded it from there. It seemed to load correctly but then wanted to reboot the pc. I did this and when I checked,, bingo, no driver installed.

I then connected it to my work laptop which is running Windows 7 and it worked first time without any problems.

I left a message on the MS Community forum in the hope that someone would be able to help but without any response.

Hopefully, someone on this site will know how I can get the MTP driver to work on my pc so that I can transfer documents and files to the HD+ device.

Many thanks.

Hi DavidGP,

Thanks for a quick response.

I made sure it was the correct version of WMP, even reinstalling it to be on the safe side.

I plug the USB cable directly into my PC.

I will try your advice though in unloading the drivers again and then using the USB plugs at the back rather than on the side of the PC. I'm prepared to try anything to get it working now :-D

Thanks for you help and I will let you know how it goes (I can only do it later this afternoon).

Cheers

 

Hi DavidGP,

I tried everything that you suggested. I can see the drivers in the System32 folder but the Hardware Install function just will not pick them up.

Crazy.

And I am rapidly going the same way:confused
