Cannot connect nokia Lumia 625 to Win XP PC

Hello, I have a Nokia Lumia 625 phone - I cannot seem to connect it to my Win XP PC
The Phone is upto date - software updates on the phone says 'uptodate'
My Win XP is also upto date (at least uptill Apr 8 2014)
When I connect the phone to the PC using USB cable, it kicks off 'new hardware found' wizard,
When I click to continue install, it says ' MTP device found'
Then after a few seconds it says 'Cannot install this hardware - An error occurred during the installation of the device, The specified service does not exist as an installed service
And I end up with the yellow question marks in the device driver list.
I cannot see the device listed in windows explorer.
Any help or advice?

Hi nuser123,
Welcome to the forum! 
What version of Windows XP do you have (SP2, SP3, etc.)? Do you have the latest Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 installed on your PC? Please check this link: FAQ - What should I do if my Nokia Lumia phone is not recognized by a computer running Windows XP?
Let us know how it will go.

    I have the ordinary problem with nokia lumia 625...everything works except facebook (when using wifi at home)...facebook app wont load,news feed in People tile wont load,internet explorer loads every page except facebook (nokia xpress has no problem)...only thing that works is facebook chat in messages...i have done firmware update of the router (belkin)  and it didnt work i really dont know where the problem can be...any other devices works fine (even lumia 800 had no problems), any other pages or apps work fine on wifi and facebook works on other wifis--belkin support says it is a problem of this model of the phone not in the router

  • How to connect my Lumia 625 to my tv.

    Just wondering if anyone knows how to connect the Lumia 625 to a tv,appreciate the help.

    Hi, waydie. Lumia phones do not support TV-out feature via cable, but you can wirelessly show pictures and videos on your TV using the DLNA feature. You need to download the Lumia Play to app from the Store. More information can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA136729.

  • Unable to update my Nokia Lumia 625

    I am unable to update my Nokia Lumia 625 to Lumia black update. Its been several months since Lumia black update has been released but still I am unable to update it. It says your phone is up to date.

    Welcome to Nokia Discussions, saquib13.
    Try using the Lumia Pusher app. You may download it for free by searching Lumia Pusher on the Nokia Store app on your Lumia device or by accessing the link below.
    http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lumia-pusher/d4ef32ad-b9fc-4150-99ba-94daa08798f4
    Otherwise, your phone might be running on a custom firmware made exclusively to your network provider and the update for it might have not been released yet.

  • Nokia Lumia 625 Slow/Chugs/Hangs Music Selection

    I recently got a Nokia Lumia 625 and its been working great, for the most part. I've run into a problem its nothing major just an inconvenience really but whenever i go to start up and listen to my music it hangs for around 16 seconds then the music starts to play but it takes another 5 seconds to switch the screen to the selected music, currently all my music is on a 32GB sd card. If anyone has information on this "problem" plase let me know what i might be able to do to solve this.

    hi mate,
    have you checked that you are up to date with latest firmware on device and latest Nokia system app u[dates from the Store? also try performing a soft reset. i have seen the behaviour before where if you only have a couple of GB storage space left on the phone, the phone starts to slow down in tasks such as playing music etc.

  • Is nokia lumia 625 comptibel with microSDXC

    is nokia lumia 625 comptibel with this microSDXC
    Kingston - Flash memory card  - 64 GB - Class 10 - microSDXC
    Manuf No DCX10/64GB

    Yes, there are some issues when using a Class 10 card on a Lumia. However, all of the entire 64gb cards are either rated Class 10 or even faster than that. So the safe option for now is to get a lower capacity card other than 64GB, the next one is a 32GB in which I believe has a Class 4 variant.
    Good luck

  • Connect Nokia Lumia 710 to Arch Linux [SOLVED]

    Hi,
    I have a Windows Phone, Nokia Lumia 710. I think everyone knows that dealing with Windows phone sucks a big time. But when I connected it to a Ubuntu machine, it detects my Phone as a portable device and I can browse all over my data in the phone. But when I connect it to my Arch Linux, it detects the phone as a portable player and even asks me to open it with Dolphin. But when I open it there is nothing inside. It says "camera:/" on the address bar. I want to browse my stuff in my Linux installation, without going to Windows.
    I had the same problem with my previous Arch Installation.
    Can anybody help me out here?
