Why is life so hard with the touch Pro???

[Waxytheboss]

I must be a freaking tard. I have been unable to do anything with this phone. I am trying to flash it, add mightyrom, and get my backlight to stay on as long as my phone is open. Why can't I get anything to work. I can't even get my phone to activesync with the computer. Can someone please please please help me? I am really bad with the computer talk so try to explain details if you decide to help me. Also, I have already tried to search the forums but, can't find what I need.
