Device problem
Hi, I've already spent several hours trying to figure this out, reading forums and suggestions, trying different things, and not succeeding at all. So, I decided to post my problem on here. I have a Samsung YP-S2 (Pebble). With the device, I had to install Samsung Media Studio. Everything was working great until a couple of weeks ago. I plugged in my device to add new songs, BUT Samsung Media Studio won't recognize it...so I can't do anything. Now, I noticed that My Computer lists the device as "unspecified" now. It used to list it as a portable device. I opened Device Manager to see if it's also listed as unspecified. However, it's listed under Portable Devices AND Disk Drives. (Is this okay?) I can't figure out how to change it to portable device under My Computer...and I'm not really sure if it would make a difference anyway. So...I began looking at other users with a similar problem, looked at the Samsung support page, and learned that it might be my drivers. I checked my drivers under Device Manager (to which it said they were up to date), then I deleted the device and had my computer reinstall the drivers, etc., and last I re-installed Samsung Media Studio. Still, it will not recognize my mp3 player. I can't figure out what is wrong. The strange thing is that I can sync my mp3 player with Windows Media Player. I was able to add songs. Of course, I can't see the playlist under Windows Media Player; I have to open the folder under My Computer to see the list of songs and delete them. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Is it something directly wrong with my mp3 player (because it works fine and charges), something wrong with Vista, or something wrong with Samsung Media Studio??? Thanks for reading. -- KamenKaiden |

Device problem
Your Upper and Lower filters are the cause of your issue
See the following MS KB article and follow the manual fix for Vista. Ignore the Title and everything else. Just delete the Upper and Lower filters and then reboot http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;314060 -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.
