Cannot connect to Windows7 64 bit no matter what

I have to say that I was really $#%$#% about this issue and finally found the solution in this forum!

I had to register just to say THANK YOU!!!

I can browse and sync media on W7 HP x64 without any (new) drivers!  The key was to set the usb settings:  settings->applications->usb settings.  I set "Ask on connection" (the default is Kies-which I'm not sure what it is supposed to do).  When the usb is added, I have been able to "Media Player" and "Mass storage".

For "Mass storage", you need to "mount" after you are connected.  To mount, slide the status bar at the top down and select "usb connected" and then select "mount".

I'm, just, still learning

I have win7 premium 64bit and what I do is connect the phone to usb port, then go to phone and select kies, wait till kies opens on its own, kies will then try to establish connection, at this point I'll eject the phone from kies and unplug, after that, I plug the phone back in and it connects. This process hasnt failed me yet.

Recently switched from XP to Win7 64bit (new PC). XP worked fine, but I found only rare success getting Win 7 to recognize the phone. I tried all 8 of my USB jacks without luck. I downloaded & installed the Samsung driver without luck. Note here that Win 7 always told me that the Samsung driver was not correct for my device.

After I plugged the phone into USB port and was told the device would not work I entered troubleshooting mode, deleted the device and drivers and search for new devices. Mostly this did not work, but a small percentage of the time it would recognize the device and I could browse the phone. But if I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in the phone was no longer recognized.

My solution was this - I had a 4 port powered USB hub that I used with my XP box because it had no front USB ports. I plugged it into the Win7 box and plugged in the phone. Bang! Phone is recognized every time without fail. I don't know if it was because of the power drain on the USB port, or just that the hub acts as an intermediary but whatever it is it just works. My guess is that the issue lays more with your motherboard's USB ports than with either the phone or Windows 7.

I don't know if you can sync through the hub, as I have no need to. Gmail is my companies mail provider and the phone is tied to that address, I have all the access I need via phone and browser. I don't need to complicate things by merging corporate and personal contact lists.
