welcome to our happy family!
while you are trying to connect your phone, is the cable connected directly to the laptop or through a hub? and do you have a firewall running? if the cable is not directly connected that can prevent your phone from syncing. and a firewall will as well (unless you set it to allow active sync connections).
and what is the OS on your laptop?

welcome to eq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( thats strange it wont let me use caps?)

[Shelleyjean]

well i have four USB inputs on my laptop and its connected directly to it
i turn my firewall of completely as soon as i downloaded activesync 4.5
i dont know what the OS is??
thank you for trying to help me.... whats the OS?

[PacoJr67]

the operating system of your computer. (i.e. if you are using windows Vista you need to use Windows Mobile Device center instead of Active Sync)

[Shelleyjean]

oh no.. im using windows xp with service pack 2
i dont know what to do and if i order a bluetooth adapter.. will everthing sync the same way as if connected via USB?

try going (in your phone) to start > settings > connections > usb to PC, and unchecking the "enable advaned network functionality" box. this has worked for some in the past.
