What version of Windows are you running on your PC and is it a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port you are using? If everything is fine with those two then it may be worth trying this: 

To solve the issue, open Device Manager on your computer to reinstall the driver for your device while your device is connected with your PC via a USB cable.

To reinstall the drivers for your device

Scroll down to the Universal Serial Bus controllers (USB section) of the Device Manager window. 
Look for an MTP Device: Media Device, Unknown Device or any other reference to your phone. Click on this entry and choose "Uninstall" whilst leaving the device connected. 
Wait a few minutes, and the computer will reinstall the drivers for the device.
Now, the phone is accessible via Computer/My Computer on your computer.

I tried that but Windows 7 does not let me uninstall the driver, also when I want to update the driver I get an access denied.

Anybody any ideas?
