Windows has support for MTP out-of-the-box, though. At least, none of the MTP cameras I've plugged into Windows needed anything special. The Blackberry "something fancier" mode also does more than just MTP. Things like tethering and device management also get presented as USB devices. That said, MTP may well be in there, too. -- 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
