Having trouble with PC Studio: cannot connect w/o Administrator privs

I logged in as admin and installed New PC Studio.  All went fine.

Then I logged in as a regular user (as I do not use Windows as an admin for anything other than admin tasks)  and when I tried to connect the phone I got the following:

"an unregistered model has been connected" "communication cannot proceed"

So thinking I was smart, I made this account an administrator for a few minutes and the phone connected just fine.

So then I reset the account back to limited privs and tried again.  The phone did connect, but not wholly as it had all sorts of connection errors.

Is there something I can do to get PC Studio to be happy under a limited account?

I do not generally use windows for much of anything, unless I must for specific software.  My wife is the regular Windows user in our home and she's far more likely than I to unwittingly run malicious software from an email or web page.  It is for her that I am trying to set up PC Studio, without admin privileges.  As an aside, when I do use Windows, even I do not use the admin account for anything other than administrative work.  It is simply safer.  Accidents and viruses are contained.   I do the same on Linux... if only Windows had 'sudo'


Worse comes to worst, I could set my wifes laptop up with bluetooth... but its just more to teach her and all she wants is to easily put music on her phone.

Oh excellent!  Thanks for the tip.  That would overall be far more easier for my wife.

thanks again!

When you use the media player setting you should see all the folders. Pictures, Audio, Videos. Yes without memory card you use the media player setting. I would think that maybe the right drivers are not installed but you installed pc-studio.  It may be another issue without administrator rights. You may experience the same with a memory card also.
