I have been having problems getting the phone to connect to my Windows 7 64-bit PC, i have tried several if not all of the guides here in the forum with no success.
I have finally found a way to get it to work every time (its a bit long winded but it allows you to use Kies)
Left click START
Right click computer
Left click properties
click device manager
Click arrow to left of "universal serial bus controller"
Right click on "Samsung mobile USB compost device" and click on uninstall.
After the box refreshes the above will have gone from list.
Plug phone into USB and you should get a pop up (bottom right of screen) saying new drivers are being installed, click on this box and you can see windows searching for updates, this usually works fine but it can take a couple of attempts.
This is a bit of a pain in the arse but its the only way i have found of getting my phone to connect so i can use Kies.
Sometimes when it is searching for drivers it only lists two " Samsung Android" and "CDC abstract controller modem" and misses the MPT driver, if this happens just repeat the above and eventually it will work.
