My computer keeps asking to find software to install mtp device for my lg fm37 and i cant find it, so my computer won't connect to it. what should i do

Hi, 
1. Make sure you Windows Media Player 11 (Goto Help --> About WMP --> v??)  2. If you do not have it, install it from this location: http://www.microsoft.com/mediaplayer   3. Change the Mode on Device: Go into Menu --> Settings --> USB Mode:Auto Detect/MTP/MSC   4. Select MSC and it should work. If it does not try Powercycling your device (turn it off and then turn it on).  5. Try other modes as well. 
Keep the device in AutoDetect Mode and follow the instructions below:

i. Connect your Device
ii. Right click on My Computer and select Manage
iii. Select Device Manager
iv. At the right hand side look out for Portable devices and click on the + symbol to display your device
v. Right Click on the device and select Update Drivers
vi. Select 'No, not at this time' and click Next
vii. Select 'Install from a list or specific location' and then click Next
viii. Select 'Don't search, I'll choose the driver to install' and then click Next
ix. Select 'MTP Device' and then click Next. This should install the device and then should be ready for use

Keep the device in AutoDetect Mode and follow the instructions below (for Vista):

i. Connect your Device
ii. Right click on My Computer and select Manage
iii. Select Device Manager
iv. At the right hand side look out for Portable devices and click on the + symbol to display your device
v. Right Click on the device and select Update Drivers
vi. Select 'Browse my computer for driver software' and then click Next vii. Select 'Let me pick from a list...' and then click Next, viii. Select 'MTP device (or you may/not have WPD Device)' and then click Next to install it. Hope you have it now in your Vista as well.

Your computer has to recognize MTP. If you plug it into a Windows Vista computer, it will recognize your device. There are steps you can perform for a Windows XP computer to recognize the device without software. Do a search for MTP and Windows XP for those directions. It starts with Adding New Hardware etc...
hope this helps

Hi,
I too have had the "Device Manager code 9001 see manual" message come up on my LG unit, after having upgraded the firmware. All my music and photos disappeared and the unit would lock up if I tried to record anything.
I decided to format the device (from the General Settings) and the error message doesn't come up anymore. All my stuff was gone so there was nothing left to lose. It seems to be working now. I hope this helps you guys too.
