   Well, let's clarify that word "needs" since my experience has been that   
   almost everything I plug into Windows that needs a driver, gets one.   
      
   The question here, is when things aren't working, do you have the "right"   
   driver, and the answer is that Nokia doesn't seem to make that driver.   
      
   So the OP is stuck with whatever driver that Windows felt was appropriate.   
   Obviously, my suggestion is the generic driver suggested by Google for adb.   
      
   That's because adb does everything you could want a program to do, although   
   just plugging an Android phone into Windows pretty much works for everyone.   
      
   As far as I recall, we still don't know the OP's Android USB settings.   
     USB default settings

   Yeah, I forget about XCOPY & ROBOCOPY myself, and I wrote, oh, way back in   
   the 90's I guess, entire twenty page tutorials on how to use DEBUG better.

   I don't even remember RECOVER, but I do remember losing every file and then   
   gaining them back, minus the first character & minus the long file names.   
      
   Someone recently posted this powershell, though, for listing files in the   
   order they were created, which is useful when datestamps are necessary.   
    C:\> powershell   
    PS\> get-childItem | sort-object -prop lastWriteTimeUtc | forEach { "{0} {1}"   
   -f $_.lastWriteTimeUtc.toString("yyyyMMddHHmmssffff"), $_.name } > dated.txt
