PC Companion don't find my Xperia S on Win7 64bit

[#1]

I've been trying to connect my phone to my dearest Win7/64bits. Do I need Windows Media Player to the PC Companion find my device? I'm asking because my windows is Ultimate K (which doesn't have Windows Media Player).

In the mean time I'll be installing it (Windows Media Player), but I think it's valuable to register that it's a requirement, if so.

Thanks.

Hi

The phone connects in MTP mode and Windows drivers for MTP comes with the updates for Windows Media Player.

thus you need to have it and make sure you have the lates version

So I believe that Sony should list this in the Requirements for the PC Companion, it would have saved me around 3 hours and nearly flashing my new phone ROM

But many thanks for letting us know !!!

I'm not sure that's the (only) solution as I have Win7/64bits running a fully up-to-date version of Windows Media Player and my PC Companion still fails to connect my Xperia S 99% of the time.

Any other ideas?
