PC won't recognize phone

[xalcyx]

Probably a stupid question and I apologize in advance guys, but can't figure out the answer for the life of me. I plugged in my phone to the computer to transfer some files but the PC is not recognizing my phone so I can't get in to navigate the phone in windows explorer. The phone is showing as charging so something is happening, but I can't seem to find USB options for the phone.

Help or suggestions???

Turns out it was the cable. Never mind.

Stupid Windoze needs a driver for everything, including thumb drives and other USB storage devices.
Try this.
