hi im new to this forum stuff. i just thought i would pass this info on.
after plugging and unplugging usb 50 plus times to get kies to connect to galaxy s i tried something different.
unticked auto connect in kies.
plugged galaxy s in with kies not running. waited until phone said connected,
then ran kies. it found phone straight away.tried 20 times, worked every time.
hope this works for you.

I can hardly believe it but this actually worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could have sworn that I tried this before many times. Maybe because a couple of days ago I disabled Kies startup in Run > msconfig so before that it had always been running in background? the other thing I did different was I had just unmounted and remounted the internal SD card. :eek:)

Whatever, I've had this phone since August and this is the first time it's connected. Thanks SOOOO much for posting this tip my friend.
