PPCGeeks - ActiveSync

I want to upgrade to the newest rom and i cant seem to save my contacts with active sync, i tried searching though through the forums on here and searching on google and i cant seem to figure it out. When i try to store my contacts it says that i need the newest version of microsoft outlook, i tried downloading it and still the same thing. Maybe it was the wrong version? Idk, i also tried the SIM backup thing but i couldnt figure out that either. Im pretty new with all this stuff so its a little frustarating. Please help
