N900 + Windows XP drivers
 
I've connected my phone to my PC, but when Windows XP tries to install drivers, it says there are none available. My phone is not being recognized. Does anyone know where I can get the drivers?

Which connection mode are you using?

Did you already try another USB-port? Directly connected to your Windows machine? No hubs in between?

If you're on Windows you'll need to install the Nokia PC Suite to use it in anything other than charging or usb storage mode. On my Ubuntu machines it just works though.

I'm using PC suite mode.

And I am directly connecting it to my computer, no hubs. I am also using the latest version of Nokia PC Suite. Windows says it needs to install a driver but it can not find that driver.

Also, does anyone know how to get AIM and MSN on the phone?

1. try mass storage mode. this should work out of the box?!
2. for the pc suite mode you may have to start the installation in nokia suite on your pc first - before you connect your phone and activate pc suite mode?!

I'm running Nokia PC Suite, v7.1.40.1, and connect without issues however I did have trouble 1 or 2 times following an update. I usually just rebooted the phone, or the PC and connected fine afterwards. If you're prompted for USB drivers, post which Service pack you are on for XP. Also go into your device manager (XP), and try to update your drivers from there.

As stated, once you "plug in", check the phone for the "mode prompt" (PC Host mode or storage mode). If using Nokia PC Suite, you'll have to choose PC mode "on the phone".

That didn't work. Windows XP SP3 is still telling me that it could not find drivers to install. :( No drivers = NSU not detecting the phone. :(
