Mac and ActiveSync problem

[snowmaiden11]

I have a MBP running 10.5.8 and I'm using MightyRom's WM 6.5. So far I've been able to get everything to work okay on my phone (used my friend's computer to flash roms).

I'm trying to install some medical software on my computer. I get to the point where I'm running the exe on my computer and it seems to be installing properly and then runs into a wall where it says "program cannot detect ActiveSync running, please run ActiveSync and try installing program again". Does anyone know any way to get the mac to look like ActiveSync is running? I've tried Syncmate, I have USB-to-PC set as ActiveSync on my computer, and nada.
