Help MTP connection to Windows 7

[Hook]

This is the first time I've gotten a Nexus so early after release. Last night I tried to connect it via USB to my windows 7 computer to transfer some media files. Although Win 7 claimed to have loaded ADB driver, the internal memory doesn't show up as a removable drive like my Nexus 4 did.

Do I need to find different drivers for the N5? Would they be in an update of the SDK or in your mini-package? I suspect all this was more sorted already by the time I got an N4.

Or has the MTP functionality actually changed such that Win Explorer won't see it as a drive anymore?

You can try Universal Naked Driver, but I had no issues with MTP functioning.

Yeah, I don't remember any issues with either my N4 or N7. I'll play around some more tonight-- I didn't actually have much time with it last night and am at work today.

I finally got it, more or less following techrider's suggestion, except I had to keep uninstalling and installing before I finally got offered an MTP driver. I have no idea hw I did it or why it finally worked, but it did. My Nexus 4 and 7 were never this hard. Wonder why? Doesn't matter. Done now.

Thanks!
