I'm having a heck of a time trying to install the EPIUSB.SYS driver for my K750. I downloaded the SE USB Driver set (it doesn't contain EPIUSB files in it.) So, I downloaded EPIUSB.SYS and EPIUSB.INI separately. Uninstalled all the SE software, and driver files (k750 prefix). I also deleted USBSTOR.SYS that seemed to be the default driver for USB Mass Storage Device in XP. Went through the install procedure...turn off the phone, hold the "C" button, attach the phone to DCU-60. The installation went fine until it reached the Sony Memory Stick part. It won't accept any of the files in the SE drive set, or EPIUSB as a driver. Just ended up with a unknown device. Also tried to see if I could install GGSEMC.SYS (which I think is a newer flash driver for SE), but no luck. Any ideas, please?

No...no...no! Not the dreaded "re-install OS"! Frankly, I thought about it, but really would prefer not to go to that extreme if I can avoid it.

Try this.
While your computer turns on (before the os is being started) press the F8 key on the keyboard several times. Then select the options: Last known good configuration that worked and press enter. Uninstall\\delete any of the driver you previously installed for your phone and then restart the PC. Try installing the drivers now again. Hope this will help.

Well, what helped me was as follows: I uninstalled, the PC suite and the update service (not sure if necessary, but wanted to be sure no drivers are present) in the device manager uninstalled the k750 driver under the usb drivers. But find first one of the Drivers folders in the main folder of the update service. Youll find something like this: "x86" folder in which is the "ggsemc.sys" and in the drivers folder, with the folder "x86" there will also be a file "ggsemc.inf". keep this in mind. Open the device manager and leave it open. connect the phone and the same moment the unknown device appears in the device manager, quickly click and start "update driver". You must act quickly so WIN wont be able to install the generic one. then no internet connecting, no automatic install, specify the path to the folder where the "x86" folder was and click continue. It should be not clicked into the x86 folder but just the one above. If you manage to do this, he will start installing a driver for yet unknown device and install the something flash driver. That is what you need. at least helped me. If not successfull, write me in PM.
