Xperia Z1 Driver for windows 8.1

LikeNoOther1 — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:29:29 GMT

Hi Everyone, i updated my windows to 8.1 and now i cannot connect my xperia Z1 to the computer, it can't find drivers for the mass storage device and i can't browse files that are in the phone, i tried PC Companion but no luck, i does not see the phone either. Here's a pic from deviece Manager... I tried searching the net for drivers but found just some adb drivers...
