Are you using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64 bit system - If you are then you need to run PC Companion in compatibility mode or use another system runing Windows 7 32bit or any other 32bit system

No XP is fine - Do you have USB debugging enabled - If you do then disable this and try again - USB debugging is for manual flashing or installing custom roms
