Help Kies_1.5.3.10113_29 issues

Hi guys
I tried searching forums for an answer, but I had no luck. I want to connect my Rooted Samsung Captivate to the Kies software. I open Kies and connect the phone with the USB cable. Then on the phone I select the Kies option (firmware update). In the actual Kies software it says "connecting the device. Please wait." This goes on forever and it never actually connects to the phone.
As an alternative I tried the option to connect as "mass storage." This connected to Kies but then it said that this connection option is not yet supported by Kies software.
I think I have all the correct drivers. But maybe you can give me links to the newest drivers just in case? I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.
Maybe it gives me problems because the phone is rooted? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
