My Xperia Ion doesn't register on my PC

[ClevaGurl]

I recently purchased a Sony Xperia Ion, and I love it. My only problem I've ran into is that it is not being registered by my pc. I have Win 7 installed on my pc along with the Sony Pc Companion, and Media Go. None of the software is registering that the Xperia is pluged in. the micro sd chip or the phone itself doesn't show up under my computer settings either. The only time there's even a slight recongnition is when a box pops up in the lower right hand corner of my screen reminding me about the PC Companion. It'll then take me to said software and nothing will be connected. What can I do to fix this?

Thank you for your time it's much appreciated.

Hey I've had the same problem... I couldn't find anything to fix this. I decided to work on my own and .. I did it. This is so funny when people write to do this and do that and they don't even know for real what is the cause. OK my problem was exactly the same as yours. While I was connecting my phone to PC there was this weird sound and I knew it wouldn't work. What I do was simply open Device Manager -> right click on android -> uninstall (before u do that make sure ur phone isn't connected with PC by USB) -> open PCCompanion ->connect ur phone by USB. This worked for me and I hope this will help others.
