Desktops forum: MTP device keeps flashing found new hard ware

cancel my last thread, problem solved.

I went into control panel clicked on task bar and start menue. Next I clicked on no title clicked on hide when inactive and changed to always hide. That go rid of both however in control panel I still can't open add hardware it says that it is currently loading harware when I'm Not.

I have the same problem just now, could you tell me how to disable the device-I can't access "add/remove hardware " as it keeps telling me another device is being installed, which it isn't

thanks

this was a good answer,worked for me . Thanks.

Thanks but "show hardware devices" doesn't appear, have looked properly and am sure I'm not missing it

Thanks Doug, found "safely add new hardware" and did as you suggested. This allowed me to access "Add new hardware" and could see "MTP device "at top of list with exclamation mark against it but there was no way of deleting it (right click didn't do anything and no "remove" button)so went into "Systems" and was able to delete the MTP device from there. Appreciate your help, Cyndy

tnx dude, it helped me i went to system and found it there under portable devices and disabled it there... it stopped flashing my fu*king screen! so anoying

I have a new Samsung YP-K5 MP3 device. It sems great but I have a problem when trying to connect it to my PC and load music tracks. When I make the connection, first there is the pop-up 'Found new Hardware Samsung YP-K5'. Then immediately another pop-up, 'Found new Hardware MTP Device'. Next, a dialogue box opens 'Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard' which asks me to insert the CD, etc. Unnecessary as I have already loaded the Samsung software. Anyhow I put the CD in again and proceed with the automatic installation. After 20 seconds or so another dialogue box appears' 'There was a problem...An error occurred during the installation of this software...The required section was not found in the INF..'

As other correspondents have suggested, I have looked in the System section of the Control Panel but can't find a yellow tag by which I could delete the MTP device. As suggested by Samsung's Technical Support Department I have tried switching off the virus protection and it makes no difference so no interference there. Everything is fine on my laptop so Samsung have suggested that it might also be to do with my desktop PC's Windows Operating System which is Home Edition 2002, with Service Pack 2 ......maybe the YP-K5 doesn't work with older versions of Windows, in which case it would have been nice to have known before buying it, but where to now?

Any other owners had this problem?

All suggestions gratefully accepted.

Hi and thanks for your response.

This is really aggravating as the the device works with my laptop but not my PC, so I can only assume this is something to do with the Windows OS being an older version, being Home Edition 2002, with Service Pack 2. Perhaps this doesn't happen with later Editions of Windows?

I am in the UK and having contacted Samsung's Tech Support Department they couldn't give me a fix to try, other than try switching off my Norton virus protection - which wasn't ideal and didn't work anyway!

Have you contacted your local Samsung Tech Support Department?

Cheers!

I've got the problem where my computer is trying to install an MTP device continually. I have stopped the bubble from constantly appearing but cannot access add hardware as it sas that it is still trying to install something.

What is the next step. My operating system is XP home.

Cheers

I've been having the same problem, glad to know it's not only me. I've been going crazy! The thing is, it isn't the first time my K5 has gone haywire on me. The last time it went crazy, I have know idea what happened, it just went back to normal and worked again. Maybe I did something or touched something but I truly don't remember, I was so frustrated I was just trying anything. I also have Windows XP service pack 2. The two must not be very compatible. Just yesterday I turned on my laptop and plugged in the USB to transfer some music over to the K5 and the computer wasn't able to identify the device! ARGH. It makes no sense, it's been working so perfectly and all of a sudden. I tried the system restore but the computer refuses to revert back. So I tried to uninstall the device and install once again, but the "new hardware device installer" can't even install the thing. How frustrating.. If anyone finds out how to fix this problem please post or email me at j_moonie@yahoo.com The tech people are truly no help, I've tried and tried to get this fixed but they can't seem to help me.

I had the problem of "mtp device trieing to install new hardware".
I solved it in a minute and everything works fine now..

The formule:
START
CONFIGURATION
SYSTEM
HARDWARE
APPARAATBEHEER ( I am dutch but it is on top)
MTP RIGHTCLICK!!! (shoot like a hunter)
DELETE

...ALL QUIET AND SMOOTH AGAIN.


Mtp may be hard to klick on course the screen goes moving, but if you concentrate and shoot like a hunter you can right-click on it)
