I had to delete a Driver called "Nokia USB Connectivity" or something like that along with the 1520 driver. Unplugged then plugged back in...worked for me.

Tried deleting that too. Nothing.

This is incredibly neat, I love it. The only thing I've noticed is that when you go fullscreen, it just expands the original image, degrading the quality. What's interesting is that it doesn't do this with videos. Like, on YouTube for example. I have no idea if you can somehow modify it to not just double the image everywhere else. I'm wondering if it can really just display out at 1080p (the original resolution). Either way, I love this. So neat. The fact that I can interact with the phone from my laptop touchscreen is just so cool.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure what it's doing. The image isn't as good on my laptop screen as it is on the phone, even in non-fullscreen mode. I wonder exactly how it's displaying the image and if it can be improved.

Yeah, .msi files are for 64 bit. For 32 it should be .exe. Not sure if they made a 32 bit version though or where to find it. Maybe someone else can help.

That is completely false. An .msi extension simply means that it uses the Windows installer format.

Tried deleting that too. Nothing.

For me, there was a whole tree of USB drivers that only showed when the phone was plugged in. Because of that, I had to delete them while the phone was plugged in, contrary to the walkthrough.

Tried that also. And wouldn't work.

Really? I've had a bunch of software that I've had to install on both 32 and 64 and every time the file for 64 bit was.msi the file for 32 bit was .exe... I've never seen an .msi file for 32 bit...

EDIT: I just binged it and yeah, .msi can be for both 32 bit or 64 bit, but apparently it can't be for both at the same time. So there is probably another file for 32 bit available somewhere.

If you want to try to delete them while the phone is unplugged on the menu on top go in Display/Show hidden devices (might not be the exact words, I'm using the French version...). Then unplug and delete the files in both sections of the device manager.

It let me delete them (told me I needed to reboot to finish it though). Rebooted, they reinstalled. Still not letting me project.

Works perfectly fine on my HTC 8S.

Worked perfectly on my L520. Downloaded program, connected device via USB and then after drivers downloaded it launched with no issues.

Kind of disappointed, I thought it would be full screen similar to how it would looking connecting a device via HDMI. Not just an outline of my phone on the computer.

More information: trying to change the config.xml file, which has the resolution set to very low, gives me an access denied. I assume that modifying the config file to 1080x1920 will keep the high resolution on the projection. Still trying to figure out how to fix this.

CTRL-ALT-P, and then hit E. There you go.

Anyone have a working config.xml that removes the frame for true full screen projecting? I've changed my config.xml, but I must not be passing it in correctly as I haven't seen a difference yet.

How are you able to change the config file? I keep getting access denied.

E to make it bigger, F to switch between fullscreen and windowed, CTRL+ALT+P to remove the phone border (for "true" fullscreen).
