I have an MP3 player that I want to hook up to my computer, but it is asking for Drivers (MTP Device). After going through the installing driver process, it doesn't find the driver. From what I remember doesn't the Windows Driver Foundation control the MTP devices in the INF folder of my windows directory? Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
When it asks for the driver set set it up to search in C/Windows/System and if it's not there try C/Windows/System32 or System32/Driver This is where most of the Windows drivers are I'd also check the Support Page for your mp3 player, this is likely not an unusual problem. If you have done so, try different USB ports, especially the rear ones
 
yes but no big deal to enable it

right click my computer>manage>services and applications>services>here in the right pan locate windows driver foundation, right click it choose properties and start the service, if you want it to run with windows every time at at startup then edit the startup type also 😉
 
Thanks for replying. When I try to start the service I get an error that says

"Could not start the Windows Driver Foundation-User mode Driver Framework service on Local Computer

What do you think is wrong? Do you think I am missing some important files?
 
I did a search on the internet and what I came up with is that there are 2 files in the INF directory of windows that controls the MTP devices. I had one in my INF folder but I was missing the other one.

I believe this means you're missing that driver so if you can find it and install it, should hopefully take care of the problem. inf is the file extension for drivers, at least those are the files Windows look for when installing/updating a driver. I'd start looking for it on the Microsoft site as well as the mp3 mfg site
 
Does anyone know what the files are that are used for MTP devices? I know one of them is wpdmtp.inf. I think the other one is like wpdusb.inf, but I am not sure.
 
I tried both the web sites--downloaded the wpdmtp (5.2) inf file and the MTP Porting Kit. Installed both, and still having problems. I am getting the device recognized as an MTP device but I cannot sync with Windows Media Player. It just doesn't recognize it. I am almost positive it all goes back to Windows Driver Foundation not starting (me getting an error.) I am doing research on that now.
 
Not clear. Is the device recognized by the computer but WMP won't recognize/paly the files or is the device not recognized by the computer? If the latter, could be WMP won't recognize/play the format the files are in on the mp3 player. Have you tried another player like WinAmp?
 
The Device, which is an Ilo 1gb MP3 player is being recognized by the computer, but is not being recognized by Windows Media Player 11.
 
If you can see the files on the device in Windows Explorer, see what the file extension is. Click on one of the files and see if it plays. Like I said above, try another player like WinAmp
