KINDLE FIRE HD AND CALIBRE

Hi, I have tried everything to try to get Calibre to see my Kindle Fire, but can't seem to get the device icon to come up at top of the screen whenever I connect it to my pc. I have Windows XP on my computer. Is this the reason why? I have the latest version of Calibre (1.2). Kindle does appear in My Computer, but doesn't have a drive letter. I don't have any ignored devices and the Kindle Fire plug in in enabled. I went into Preferences>miscellaneous and then clicked on Debug Device Detection and this is what came up:-

calibre 1.2 isfrozen: True is64bit: False
Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3 Windows ('32bit', 'WindowsPE')
('Windows', 'XP', '5.1.2600')
Python 2.7.4
Windows: ('XP', '5.1.2600', 'SP3', 'Multiprocessor Free')
USB devices on system:
[u'usb\\root_hub&vid10de&pid07fe&rev00a1',
u'usb\\root_hub20&vid10de&pid056a&rev00a1',
u'usb\\vid_043d&pid_007a&rev_0100',
u'usb\\vid_043d&pid_007d&rev_0100',
u'usb\\vid_043d&pid_00ff&rev_0100',
u'usb\\vid_046d&pid_c018&rev_4300',
u'usb\\vid_0a81&pid_0101&rev_0110',
u'usb\\vid_0a81&pid_0101&rev_0110&mi_00',
u'usb\\vid_0a81&pid_0101&rev_0110&mi_01',
u'usb\\vid_1949&pid_0007&rev_0216']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\devices\scanner.py", line 85, in __call__
DriveError: No removable drives found

Looking for devices of type: MTP_DEVICE
Cannot detect MTP devices

Please can someone tell me if I am wasting my time trying to sort this out.

Thanks,
