windows vista Getting a Device Error when connecting my Kindle Fire HD via USB

[News Bot]

I have an HP Pavillion PC running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 installed and all important updates also installed.  When I connect my Kindle Fire HD to my PC via USB, I see the pop-up saying that Windows found new hardware and must install new

driver software for my MTP.  I allow it to try and locate a driver and it fails.  I've tried to skip the install and have it ask again later but either way, my Kindle does not show up on my PC.  If I view Device Manager, it shows a new group of "Other devices"

with an MTP error in the yellow triangle.  When I view the driver, it shows:

 

This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)

There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.

 

The Kindle is not asleep and I've tried powering up while connected and disconnected both with the same results.  Any ideas?

 

I connected the Kindle to a laptop with Windows 7 and it works fine.
