Help device not recognized in windows

[bfuzze]

You may have seen my other post about trouble recognizing my transformer in ubuntu... I was basically told it wasn't possible and that I needed to use Windows.

Well the windows usb drivers are not working either...? What the hell.

I'm on XP, I downloaded the drivers from Asus support site for my model TF101.

When I connect the device it's immediatley loaded as 'Unknown Device'. So I open up the properties through Device Manager > 'Drivers' tab > Update Driver > go through the steps to manually specify the driver file (that I downloaded from Asus) and I get:

The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.

I looked at the driver file and I do see some lines for my device:

[ASUS.NTx86]
; TF101
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E1F&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E3F&MI_02

; SL101
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E01&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E03&MI_02

; A60
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4D01&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4D03&MI_02

; Fastboot for all projects
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4DAF

[ASUS.NTamd64]
; TF101
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E1F&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E3F&MI_02

The 'USB\VID...' is something I saw before under the properties of the Unknown Device. There's another tab next to the Driver tab called 'Details'. It says:

USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&32FD0D5E&0&2

I'm on x86

The format doesn't look exactly right, but I tried adding it to the driver file and attempted to load the driver file again. Same result.

It worries me that both the VID/PID is 0000.

I also tried loading the driver file contained in tf_rootkit_31.zip
from this post: [ROM] UPDATED Transformer pure root tw/us/ww/de/jp (8.4.4.5/11/12/8.6.5.6/7) - xda-developers
Same result.

Gettin frustrated...

TIA

On XP you must install Windows Mediaplayer 10 (or higher). It has the drivers to see the Transformer. Should work perfectly after a computer restart.

The transformer is recognized on Windows computers as a portable media device. This is probably to make sure we can't tinker with it too much....
