My computer at home is running win XP and even with the very newest version of Calibre it will not see the Samsung Galaxy S3. I just wanted to know if it was a windows problem or am I doing something wrong?

The error message gives a hint to the problem - MTP is Media Transfer Protocol, my understanding is that its used by calibre when communicating with mobile devices - not sure if its only used for wireless comms or also comms via the S3's micro USB port. If you have a suitable cable try the latter - some phones have the cable is an optional extra - <sigh>.
Apparently MTP is defective on XP
