AKA- MTP vs MSC--Media Transfer Protocol (commonly referred to as MTP) is part of the "Windows Media" framework vs USB mass-storage device class (MSC) -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 2:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: [dkim-failure] Re: BB curve 9300 installation On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 4:38 PM, Joseph L.

(see: http://trioptimum.com/truth/) My first guess: The phone will charge just fine without a driver. It's just Windows is prompting for a driver to make all the other magic BlackBerry stuff work, and the user assumes that means it won't work without one. My second guess: Try fiddling with the Mass Storage Device settings of the Blackberry. Depending on how it's configured, the BlackBerry will present itself as either an ordinary USB flash drive, or as something fancier. The "something fancier" mode may need drivers, but the "ordinary USB flash drive" mode does not. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
