Hi - Other than using Odin, any idea how to fix my Kies issue "your device does not support software upgrading via kies"?

I've read a few tips regarding the resetting of CSC, but I don't really understand in great detail what or why. My Galaxy Ace is:

on Vodacom (South Africa). Supplied by Vodacom. I have made no firmware changes (or anything).

PDA S5830XWKPU
PHONE S5830XWKP7
CSC S5830XFVKP1

It's on 2.3.3. I'm hoping to upgrade to 2.3.4 via Kies.

I have downloaded the very latest Kies from samsung's site, and done a fresh install (on Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit). I get the message:

"your device does not support software upgrading via kies".

I received this phone from the network provider (Vodacom) and have not changed anything.

Please advise?

Thanks
Fin

Operator of my phone do not let me upgrade Ace to 2.3. My friend have no-brand Ace and he get official update to 2.3. So i have used Odin and after 2 mins i got official 2.3.4:) After that i couldn't use Kies but i don't care. I don't like this software... I manage my Ace via Google. Much easier and faster;)
