Take a look at the Captivate Connection Issues thread. There are some things you can try in there to hopefully get you back on track.

I don't think so - as long as you can get to download mode and get the computer to see your phone, there aren't many things that ODIN/Heimdall can't correct.

I reinstalled the drivers and the computer noticed it, hopefully it will work.

OK it started to work then the screen turned green?

Its stuck at Factory.rfs witht the screen continually green.

I believe you do need to repartition, as the ICS builds use an MTD file scheme, and rewriting that would be part of the process.

The Phone--/!\--PC screen should work the same as download mode.

And, as b-eock mentioned above, make sure you're running Odin as an administrator.

Nope. Look in the one-clicks thread in the development section for a Heimdall one-click. It will set itself up on your Windows machine and do all the same flashing stuff that Odin can do.

Found it I'm working on it now

Its giving me the error that the msvcp100 is missing even though i installed the microsoft thing it asks for

Is it safe to say that I'm pretty much screwed and take it to an ATT store and say this happened while I was upgrading to gingerbread?

I tried a GB one-click and now a puple screen? WTF is going on!

Have you rebooted the computer since running the installation? Try that first. Sometimes a reboot will pick up the changes you've made.

By the way, with Heimdall you'll need to pay attention to what USB port you have the phone plugged into. Heimdall associates itself with one port at a time (the port the phone was attached to when you ran the installer).

Have you tried Heimdall? Sometimes where Odin fails, Heimdall will work.

Heimdall saved me a couple of times but remember that, since it uses a different set of usb drivers, you may end up with some difficulty with Odin later on due to the different drivers.

If Heimdall does work and you computer has difficulty with Odin, Apex makes a Heimdall package with CWM so you can go from there. I am back on Slim ICS now.

Try Heimdall one more time, but this time, grab one of the bootloader packages. It sounds like there's a mismatch between your bootloaders and your rom (e.g. froyo bootloaders and gb rom).
