Hey people...
Just wanted to post a solution to a problem apparently a lot of users are experiencing...
When you first attach your phone to the pc by USB, the drivers have to be installed. (Here is a good ressource, where you can always dowload the latest drivers extracted from the Samsung Kies Package: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655286)
Now it could happen, that all of the drivers install successfully, but one of them, the "Samsung Mobile MTP Device", which cannot be installed, since there's always a CODE 10 (This device cannot start).
As I searched for quite a while for a working solution with no luck (there are different solutions, but none of them worked for me, as in my case it wasn't a faulty-driver problem...), i finally remembered a solution to a similiar case with a DVD-RW Drive. I tried the same process with my actual driver problem, and it worked right away... :good:
HERE's THE SOLUTION:
Maybe this short tutorial can save you some time... =)
Best regards to all of you!

HERE's THE SOLUTION:
- Go to the Registry Editor (Start --> Run --> "regedit" --> [ENTER])
- Search the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\
- If you click one of the few subkeys in class (e.g. {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}) you'll find the string value (Standard) on the right side with a value (e.g. DVD/CD-ROM-Drives)
- You have to find the value "Portable Devices" on the string value (Standard) (In my case {EEC5AD98-8080-425f-922A-DABF3DE3F69A}, but I don't know if they are called always the same.
- Once found, you see a string value called UpperFilters --> DELETE IT!
- Finished! Now your Samsung Mobile MTP Device should be recognized and even installed correctly right away. (The name of the device changed to GT-I9100 (Devicemanager) in my case...)
