For PC connection mode you need XP service pack 3 and a recent windows mediaplayer.

For developer mode you need to manually install an inf file. Since apparently I cannot attach it here :(

Open wordpad and copy/paste what is between the lines below and save it as jolla.inf

(or from here if the contents got mangled: http://pastebin.ca/2554639 )

; MS-Windows driver config matching some basic modes of the ; Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget firmware: ; ; - RNDIS plus CDC Ethernet ... this may be familiar as a DOCSIS ; cable modem profile, and supports most non-Microsoft USB hosts ; ; - RNDIS plus CDC Subset ... used by hardware that incapable of ; full CDC Ethernet support. ; ; Microsoft only directly supports RNDIS drivers, and bundled them into XP. ; The Microsoft "Remote NDIS USB Driver Kit" is currently found at: ; http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/resources/HWservices/rndis.mspx

Plug in the device => choose install from specific location => don't search. I will choose... => network adapters => have disk => chose sailfish.inf => say yes to the warning => continue anyway on the windows logo screen => done

Windows XP is an almost 13 year old OS that is end of life (out of sale for almost 6 years), which means it is not a realistic canidate for support anymore.

Most probably it is because there are no drivers available for Windows XP. On Windows 7 the driver to transfer files is available. Eventually you can find a compatible MTP driver for Windows XP.
