Are you enabling usb storage? When you plug it in pull the notification bar down and click on it then hit the button? Dont need drivers to access mass storage

You have 2 options

You can download the drivers referenced here

I had to enable USB Debugging to get it to work correctly with Windows 7.

But after that you can access both the SD card and the internal memory on the phone through Windows Explorer

Or you can use the Kies software and do it wirelessly. Details here:

Reboot phone and pc. Mine does that sometimes. I bought a mt4g new and it did that too me. Returned it and got a new one and it did the same. Reboot my pc and it worked. I felt like a tool.

I have no problems using a 32 bit PC - but with 64 bit Window's professional, it is as if the phone were only connected to power. Companion link synch program overcomes this problem -- apparently it installs its own drivers and after doing a usb synch to outlook, I am able to use windows to transfer files between the galaxy S 2 (t989) and windows. However I have not found any drivers that permit the Samsung to connect to the Windows 7 using usb cable w/o using companion link first.

I had the same problem and samsung tech support had me pull the battery for 30 seconds. That did the trick, but it has happened once since.
