Kies problem

[Jack pearson]

Trying to update my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) to 4.3, phone connects to Kies, says there is a firmware update, lets you agree to everything, then during the firmware download, after it hits 100% Kies quits. just disappears from the screen, no messages

Im running a windows 7 laptop, with the latest version of Kies, tried everything i could see on this forum, but nothing worked.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Jack
