PC Studio for Vista can be found on the
Samsung
Website. Series is "U series" and model, of course, is U600. As
for installation, as Samsung suggests, make sure that the phone is NOT
connected to the USB port at ANY POINT prior to the completion of the
installation. Install the software as normal. Then, after it has finished
installing, open up PC Studio and plug in your phone. At this point, the
software SHOULD recognize that the phone has been connected after setting it up
to use USB connection in the “Connection Manager”
(Click “File”, “Connection”).
If it is still not recognizing the device after plugging It
in, or if it displays a message along the lines of “USB Device Not Recognized”
KEEP THE PHONE PLUGGED IN TO THE USB, Go into the Control Panel in the Start
Menu and open up the Device Manager. At the very bottom of the list of hardware
etc, there will be a selection for “Universal Serial Bus controllers”, expand
this menu and look for an item called something like “Unknown USB device”.
Double click on the device and go to the “Driver” tab (I think you have to press
a button on the first screen that appears in order to get to the menu driver tab.
Although I can’t remember what was written on it, there was only one there).
When in the Driver tab, click on “Update Driver”. Now on the wizard that
appears, click on “Browse my computer for driver software” then, ignoring the
rest of the page, click on “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my
computer”. Uncheck the selection box “Show compatible hardware” and scroll down
the list of Manufacturers until you get to “Samsung”. Now, if you’ve installed
PC Studio, you should see four separate selections for “Samsung”. Click on the
fourth manufacturer selection and you should see “SAMSUNG Mobile USB Device” as
a Model selection, select it and click “Next” (If, 1, you don’t see “SAMSUNG
Mobile USB Device” at all, then just browse the other three Samsung based
manufacturers or, if 2, you have more than one entry of “SAMSUNG Mobile USB Device”
then select the top one”. Also, if Windows comes up with any warnings about
installing device drivers, just ignore them). Windows will now update the
driver (It actually updates three drivers). If you open up PC Studio the phone
should now be recognized as connected (Assuming your prior setting up of the
Connection Manager to use USB).
Good Luck.
Computer doesn't recognise phone despite installing software provided with phone and subsequently downloading relevant drivers from website.
