I think I have a later or earlier version of MPT but "settings" is
probably what you want.

When you click on Settings, what choices do you have? Anything that
looks like "General Setup" or similar?

This may help:

Scroll down to the section labelled "To Get the Multimedia Studio Icon"
and see if either method 1 or 3 will work for you but first make sure
MPT is updated to the latest version available.

It does help! Particularly the part that says:
"NOTE: Seem edits are required for the Verizon V710, E815, V3M, Krzr K1M
and Certain FIRMWARE versions of the V3C to allow MPT to transfer
ringers/pictures/videos via USB Data cable or Bluetooth. As well to
allow V710 users to be able to use MPT via Bluetooth for Calendar and
Contacts. While Seem Edits can re-enable these features Verizon has
disabled, BRVP does NOT SUPPORT this, and will not support "hacked" or
Seem Edited phones. So, if you do a seem edit, you void your phone's
warranty, Verizon's support, and BVRP will NOT help you if you have
problems with MPT."

I don't want to transfer pictures THAT badly.

Once you read up on it a bit and get the right free software, SEEM edits
are really very simple - and reversible!
A good place to start is http://xlr8.us/hofo/ and get pkTools and
pkCommander at www.motox.info or www.howardforums.com among others.

I've used MPT to transfer pictures with both my E815 and V3m before
doing a seem edit, neither phone required it.

BTW, if you save your seem before editing it, you're looking at about 3
minutes to return your phone to the stock, non-edited version.

Marc Venture is VERY over cautious, IMHO, but he really doesn't want to
be sued, therefore all the disclaimers.

BTW, if you have a V3M you have a slot for a transflash card, you can
save pictures to the card and then to your computer by removing the
card and putting it into the proper USB device on your PC.

Opinions vary but mine is that if I couldn't transfer pictures from my
phone to my PC I wouldn't have a camera phone.

What some of these people replying don't seem to understand is that
Verizon has crippled your phone. And Avanquest / BVRP is in on it.
You will not be able to use Multimedia Studio with your Motorola Phone
Tools unless you either seem edit or reflash your phone. You need the
drivers from the "Motorola Software Update" (Google for it) to do
either -- and if you use MPT after installing the Motorola Software
Update, MPT will actually kill the MSU drivers that you need to put
your phone in the state you need to seem edit or flash your phone. If
you go to the Avanquest forums, you will see how unfriendly they are
to any idea of uncrippling your phone.

I have a feeling that most of the people answering are using another
provider other than Verizon and do not realize that your use of MPT
will never be as easy for your phone as it is for theirs.

Some more info:

The drivers that you need to seem edit / flash are different than the
ones MPT installs as these put your phone in another mode. The latest
drivers are at:
http://developer.motorola.com/docsto...32_v3.3.0.msi/.

You need to install these drivers first -->
then run MSU and leave open (very important)
(get at
https://rsddownload.motorola.com/dow...are_Update.exe)

then run some P2K editing software (P2K Commander, P2K Seem Editor,
P2K Advanced Editor, P2K Tools VS, etc.) to enable ringtone transfer
via MPT, bluetooth profiles, SMS usage from your computer (yes, MPT &
Verizon have disabled even this on some phones), etc., etc. You can
find P2K Tools VS at http://storage.e398mod.com/soft/P2K-Tools-3.zip;
Google for the others. Which one you use is a personal preference.

Remember, the latest MPT will toast the drivers above, so do all your
seem editing / flashing before using MPT.

You can find lots of tutorials on the web. I have found that most are
very helpful, but that it takes reading through several of them to get
through all the steps you will need. Make sure that when someone is
showing you how to do something that they 1) have the K1m and 2) are
using Verizon. People with Sprint, Alltel, US Cellular, Telus, etc.
phones will not encounter all the problems that you will face with
your Verizon phone.

That's why I suggested he use Bluetooth.

Heh. Verizon has disabled the bluetooth profile that lets him do
transfers to his phone.

Verizon does have a chart for you to see which profiles they have
disabled on which phones:

Verizon cripples that too. You can only use BT for a headset.
