mtp not working

[lkiol]

maybe it's my old computer but i cannot get the MTP usb connection to recognize the phone when it's plugged in. i am running a dell dimension windows xp sp 2 bought in 2004 (it's a good old dinosaur). i can get the usb connection to half work in camera mode but it only shows folders for some of the gallery images but it won't allow me to transfer anything from my pc to the phone. i have to email photos and files to myself from the pc then download them to the phone.
