Once your computer is up and running then plug the phone in... are you prompted on your phone to activesync or disk mode or anything? You want to hit activesync on your phone when it prompts you.

If it doesn't prompt you, unplug it from the computer then you can goto ( on the phone ) start..settings..connections... and then you can select activesync... in the connections there is a box to check that says something to the effect of "ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to the computer"... you want that checked... close out of that and plug in your phone, hit the active sync and see what happens... maybe try another USB port on your computer.
