Iphone photos won't load onto computer

Hello,


I really appreciate any help with this. My iphone suddenly stopped loading any pictures onto my computer with a usb. There was a message about a fatal error and now the photos on my phone just won't load onto any computer at all. It says there are 0 items in the phone.. Is there any way to fix this by any chance?


Thanks very much,


AL
