Help I need help with Kies set up

Hey, I just downloaded Kies to connect my S4 to my laptop. I tried the original Kies version as the website says S4 isn't supported by Kies 3. However when I downloaded it, it said that S4 isn't supported by Kies and that I need Kies 3. It took me to Kies 3 so I downloaded it. However, when I went on to 3, it says my phone isn't supported.
Basically I'm being thrown between both versions and both say my S4 isn't supported and to use the other. I'm stuck. Help please? My phone is currently on version 4.2.2 if that helps.
:thinking: :thinking:
