Double check the cable is fully plugged in at BOTH ends. Connect to the same USB port in the PC as before. Try it with all the other USB ports. If you still don't have any luck, THEN uninstall as suggested by Haggis. Simon

Its possible the original was damaged if everything has been packed up. Simon
