It is worth while to get that sorted in case you want to sideload larger music or video files that cannot be emailed
I tried all the fixes when I got the Win 7 box, but the Fire HD remained invisible to it. (Worked fine with Win XP and also with my Win 7 laptop. The same, oddly, was true of DOS WordStar. I finally had to install vDos to get it running on the desktop.)

I think at Hitch's suggestion, I bought a 99-cent app that enabled me to find the tablet on my web browser, and from there on I could fetch the file from the computer. Actually easier than plugging in the USB cord.

But now I generally use Send to Kindle app, which is easier yet. I've never had a file larger than say 4 MB, but I assume they'd go wirelessly using the other system.
