Using Kies to sync contacts with Outlook

I needed to sync my Outlook contacts to my Captivate. Looked everywhere. Found a few apps you can buy they say they do it, but the reviews where not so good. Then I found this:
http://www.syncdroid.net/kies

I installed the usb drivers from here:

Used The Kies app from here:
http://www.samsung.com/ae/consumer/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/infotainment/GT-I9000HKDXSG/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
(click on software)
UPDATE: Upload of kies here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JDQ5B4I4

I was able to sync my contacts. When I connected the phone to the pc, I choose "update using kies" (or something link that) connection option that came up on the phone screen.
At this point I have only used it once. YMMV.

 

I am running Windows 7 64bit

Hope it works out for you. Kies seemed to run fine. I pretty sure the link I gave is the full kies program. It does not have support in the U.S. for some reason. It seemed to work fine for me.

RAGE.

Ok i went to reinstall the drivers and i kept getting errors that the drivers were already installed.  I looked everywhere and couldn't find them and the samsung usb modem didn't show up in my device manager like they said.

I am sad panda 

I removed it from the add/remove programs list and it said it was successful but the name remained on the add/remove list. When I clicked it again it said something like "there is no program associated with this, remove program from list." I did that and I still got the error.

I looked in program file folders, my documents and even just the C drive and deleted everything samsung related. Even stuff from the PC studio that was used for the eternity and I still get this error. THat's when I checked the device manager and noticed that it wasn't even listed. 

I even got fed up and did a registry cleaner and it's still a no go

I am old school. I use windows xp. I have a disk to upgrade it to vista but I hated vista so I refuse to upgrade again.

Thanks! I will check that out tonight. Hopefully that works. Looks like i'm stuck unless I can get rid of the remaining traces of the drivers.

That will be my last resort as last night i finally installed service pack 3 for xp  and multiple other updates.

Thanks for the help!

I used the uninstall link in the drivers file and it did get rid of the lingering drivers.

Couldn't connect to kies still but it also prompted me to update so i did lol.

I am getting gray hairs over this program.

Thanks ranger. At the very least you helped me fix my driver issue.  I don't know if anything can fix my kies issue lol But I will try.

Thanks again.
