Well i just picked up my new Tilt a few days ago and have not be able to try out any ROMs yet cuz activesync is crazy. I had 4.2 running just fine for the longest time with no problems. I now have the tilt and needed to upgrade to AS 4.5, so i did with the cd from the tilt and everything went fine. I restarted after install, clicked AS to open and nothing happened. I connect the tilt and the icon in task bar turns green and spins and says connected, but no AS window. I can explore the phone, go to connection settings from right clicking the icon, but i cannot get the window to open. I have google'd from here to goggleland and back and cannot get it working. I actually did get the window to open ONCE, after i completely uninstalled Kaspersky 7.0. But then after i closed it it never opened again. The one thing i noticed is that if i open the task manager on my pc wcescomm.exe and rapimgr.exe are running, but not WCESMgr.exe. When i double click the AS icon i see in task mgr that WCESMgr comes up but then disappears. Does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do??

Try uninstalling activesync completely, restarting, then trying to install again.

Yes definitely uninstall AS completely, check the registry, restart and then install AS4.5. I've found that was always the best method when "upgrading" to AS4.5.

Uninstall Active Sync, reboot, disable any Antivirus you have running, install Active Sync (reboot if necessary) and re-enable Antivirus if necessary. This should work. I've had strange issues with Active Sync in the past and this seems to work.
