After you include MTP Responder for Windows Embedded Compact 7 in your device, you can test your presentation on a computer running Windows 7. Use the following steps to verify that your presentation functions as expected.

To test a baseline presentation

  1. Connect your device to the computer using a USB cable.

    If Device Stage does not start, click Start, and then click Devices and Printers.

  2. In the Devices and Printers folder, identify the icon and text that represent your device.

  3. Right-click the icon, and then click Properties.

  4. On the General tab, verify that the displayed text is correct, and then click Cancel.

  5. In the Devices and Printers folder, double-click the icon for your device.

  6. In the Device Stage window, verify that the icon and text appear as you intended.

  7. If your device supports media synchronization, click the Manage media on your device task button and verify that you can transfer media files to and from your device and keep these files properly synchronized.
