Try resetting your phone and your computer then try again

like a reboot? that hasn't helped yet...

yeah exactly- hmmm try re-installing the drivers

where can I find the samsung drivers and I am trying to do that again now.. but I am not sure what drivers you are talking about specifically.

you have to get the drivers through android sdk

(with phone usb connected)
device manager
Android Device
right click
update drivers
click browse my computer then next and then click install
if it doesnt give you that option let me know

okay I am having problems there. First, it doesn't recognize an android device, it says unknown device and it won't take any drivers I have followed the pdanet steps, and I have tried the galaxy s drivers with no luck...

okay there is your problem now we are getting somewhere,
do you have android sdk
if yes do you know how to install packages

I have tried this on two 64bit machines and one x86 the one I am on now.. and can't get it to work. I feel like a total newb but this is not a new thing to me ( rooting/unlocking etc) I have had a g1 since the release, then a nexus one since release and just got the nexus s yesterday and have struggled with this one..

what do you mean by install packages, and I appreciate your help
