So I am trying to connect my Sony Camera with my laptop with a USB plug. When I plugged it into the USB port, I hear the sound from my laptop meaning that it’s recognized. However, it is not found in My Computer. I went to Disk Management after searching for solutions in Google and so I changed the drive letters but nothing worked. It is still No Media. Just to let you know I am using Windows 7 and my USB port is not damaged. I tried with other USB plugs and it worked. I am already in my admin account, which is the only account in this laptop. I am trying to import the pictures from the camera into my laptop. Is there another way to have the Removable Disk appear in Computer?
I also found out that when I clicked "Devices and Printers" in Control Panel, the Sony Camera does appear there, as Sony DSC. So I right-clicked it > Browse Files, and tried too click Removable Disk (V:). But it is not clickable!
Then I went to Windows Media Player and tried to open the files in the camera. In there, I can see "Removable Disk". I clicked it and "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (V:)" pops up.
Please tell me some other suggestions I can do to try to fix this. I connected the camera to my laptop and it worked just fine last time. This happened when I tried yesterday. I also tried it at two other laptops and it worked there, but how come not in mine?
I did the restarting method but nothing changed. Also, I don’t think the memory card in the camera is locked since it is able to connect to the other two laptops I have tried.
I have also tried uninstalling the host controller as suggested. Every other USB is working except this one Sony Camera?

Your Mass Storage driver may have gone haywire and I have yet to find a way to fix it. There’s a process to finding out of that is the issue, but I’ve lost the instructions.
What you can do to try and make your life easier for the moment is pull the memory stick out of the camera and put it into the multi-card reader inside your laptop. That should enable you to get your pictures off.
