I bought a Nokia 520 3 days ago and was having issues with connecting it to my windows 7 PC and browsing the files. I posted the issue as a comment to here:

in which I said:
"The device is showing in Devices and Printers, and it pops up and asks me what I want to do but none of the options work. No lock on phone. If I select:
-Manage media on your device
then windows media player opens and says device not found
-Import picture and videos
then it starts to import and then stops responding almost immediately (consistently)
-Browse files (which is REALLY what I want to do)
it opens but there is nothing inside, though I know I have music and books on a memory card in the phone. I can even play music on the phone but can't access it on the file browing. Also I cannot make any changes to the empty folder, like create a new folder inside it."
A person told me to turn the phone off and on while connected to the PC and I realized that it was having issues with correctly installing the device driver. I assume this is what's causing my problems.
Now the issue I have is that I can't find/correctly install the device driver.
I looked on the Nokia website but they were no help. Then I tried this tutorial Windows Phone 8 is not detected by your computer about updating the driver. But all it says is that I already have the latest version installed, while with a yellow ! triangle on the device that says its messed up somehow. When I open the device properties it says :This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Now I still can open the file to the phone from mycomputer but its still blank. And my options when I click on the phone is just "get the windows app" and "find out more what you can do"
Please help!!!!
