| 829859 | 2009-11-13 22:34:00 | I have just bought a secondhand Samsung sch-531. When I try to connect it to my laptop so I can transfer some music to the mp3 the laptop doesn't even register that the usb is connected. I went to Dick Smith to try and get a new usb or the driver software needed, they assuered me the cable was ok and I should go to Samsung website to download the software. So very trustingly, off I go to Samsung, but.... not even a mention of the model!!! I've looked everywhere to find the software but to no avail. Can anyone help me? | xstitch4eva (15423) | ||

| 829861 | 2009-11-13 22:47:00 | It's a cellphone. I just want to put some of my music on it to use for ringtones, and to transfer photos and videos off the phone onto the computer. I just tried it again and I got a little bubble in the corner saying that drivers are being installed, and then that drivers are missing. Is there some program I can download from somewhere to find the missing drivers? | xstitch4eva (15423) | ||

| 829864 | 2009-11-13 23:16:00 | You don't need any drivers for it. Once you connect the cable to the phone and PC, it's Menu / Tools / User Memory / Connect PC Once that's done, you need to disconnect via the mau as well to restore the phone back online. |

| 829865 | 2009-11-14 00:58:00 | I tried that, Bob, and it said connecting for about 10 minutes, then I gave up. Dave, I downloaded the program, and installed it, but no luck. Could be because I am running vista not xp. thanks for the help though. |

| 829867 | 2009-11-14 01:49:00 | For my Samsung phone, not the same model, I use PC Studio 3.1, supplied by Samsung. This includes USB driver and is for XP & W2000. Easy to find on the net. | Peter H (220) | ||
| 829868 | 2009-11-14 01:59:00 | I'll try that and see if it works with vista. Oh for my old laptop with xp, far too many program issues with vista. | xstitch4eva (15423) | ||
