problem with active sync - no connection

[merkk]

tried that, no luck.

Do i need to set up a partnership first? I havent hooked this phone up to this PC since i installed the new rom that came out this month. I dont remember how to check the partnership stuff. Last time i think it just popped up automatically when i first plugged the phone into the pc.

Oh, and it's also not prompting me to unlock the phone. Although i guess since there's no connection being made, maybe that's why it's not prompting. Before, I used to have to enter the unlock code before i could get access to the phone over the USB connection.

thanks
