This seems to be a reoccurring problem, you are not alone on this one. I blame microsoft. The activesync is a booger and I agree you need to check the settings on it. I would uninstall it and then reinstall it. That worked for me. Also AS does not work on vista you need to use the microsoft mobile software for vista. The usb charge shows that you are connecting just that the pc software does not recognize the device. The ROM you use should not affect the pc as the pc only sees a "device". hope that helps
