I had the same problem under Windows 7 64bit. Solved it by installing Windows Mobile Device Center, don't ask me why :-(
Thank you for replies. I have tried to reinstall MDC but that doesn't seemed to help solve the problem...
Still cannot use Kies.. sigh..
Solved
Kies require Windows Mobile Device Center on newer Windows, activesync on older Windows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WAS:
I have just purchased Galaxy S.
Installed Kies on windows 7 64 bit, kies doesn't start/work at all. It remain at splash screen. When open task manager I found the splash process and form1.
It is a big delusion
Samsung make software only for 32bit?? How to sync 232 contacts from iphone without outlook??
Samsung, sigh ..
Regards
Thanks for the hints everyone.
My 'mainstage' problem seemed to have been solve with reinstallation of the latest Kies from samsung which I have just downloaded. That being said, kies open and run fine, but I am back to the same old problem unable to connecting my phone to kies. This software is really a POS.
My system is Window 7 64Bit home professional.
Also just to note, I notice that kies requires .net framework for window xp and vista. To be safe.. and it might be totally unrelated... I enabled the Microsoft .NET framework 3.5.1 on window 7 when I reinstalled the new version of kies.
Yes, and do not forget Windows Mobile Device Center on newer Windows, activesync on older Windows.
Regards
Thanks
Last note really.
Today the in a last ditch efforts to connect Kies due to upgrade from JF4 to JG4 over kies, I have finally decided to format my internal SDcard.
Kies was able to connect to my phone after several reboot attempt of my computer and telephone. Upgrading to JG4 seemed to have no problem connecting to Kies so far. However, I have my doubt that after installing several programs the problem will probably pop back up again.
Cheers Everyone

Kies Mainstage Still Not Working
I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling and using different versions and Kies Mainstage still does not allow Kies to start up.
I've installed Mobile Device Manager and still nothing.
Seems as though Samsung exec's opted for a slick, pretty GUI without consideration to actual functionality!
At this rate, I will never be able to upgrade to froyo 2.2 unless someone writes an install package that works.
frustrated.

I had similar problems running Kies on Win 7 x64. What I did was do a fresh install of the updated Kies version 103_100_2 (from Samsung UK site), ie. uninstall old Kies and remove any lingering directories first. Then Uninstall the Samsung USB drivers installed with Kies. Then install the x64 bit drivers for Samsung mobile devices. Worked a treat.
You can get the x64 bit drivers from Softpedia website
cheers
Having the same problem. It's infuriating.
Kies was working fine until about a month ago and now I cannot open it. Have followed the advice given in this thread but no luck in getting it to start.
Running Windows Vista 32 Bit
mainstage not working
I have vista 32bit
I reinstalled the latest version of kies it still didn't work so I then installed .NET framework 4 and that seems to have solved the problem.
hope this helps for all you vista 32 bit operators that have the mainstage problem.
took me two hours to work out but seemed to correct the problem by downloading the 4.0 version of .netframework.
kies seems to be working now
let me no if this helps

Fix for XP:
I had exactly the same problem on my XP Netbook and solved as follows:
Uninstall Kies
Uninstall Samsung Modem for Mobile Phones
Uninstall Microsoft Silverlight
Uninstall Microsoft Silverlight SDK
Reboot
Install Kies
Hope this helps.
A.
PS Reasoning behind this is if you look at the error log file that the crash produces and is about to send to Microsoft then you see that the exception occurred in XamlParse... Xaml is the xml language used by Silverlight and WPF.
PPS Samsung get your act together and write software that works properly.
PPPS Samsung give us a way to update your phones without having to use the piece of cr*p you call Kies.
I'm new at this, but I've successfully downloaded Kies(the Samsung PC interface for Galaxy) and installed it. However, it fails to launch. I've downloaded twice and reinstalled, but still doesn't work.
Error message "The Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application"
What's up with that? Anybody can help please?
Think is relies on .net framework is yours installed and upto date?

It needs .net 3.5 installed. I never got it to work on my Windows XP at work, but it works on my windows 7 at home. It's a pain, I seems to have to install the 64bit drivers everytime I need to use.
Oh..how do I get an update of .net framework on my XP? It doesn't prompt for that?
*Facepalm*
Ever heard of windowsupdate.com?
Firmware update
Thanks all...I've managed to install Kies. Now it says there's a firmware my Galaxy needs updating, but as I go down the procedure, it says it cannot update as it needs 1000Mb space...my phone still has 1.6G available..what's happening? In any case, this Kies sucks BIG TIME!!
Hello,
recently I bought an i5800 (android 2.1-update 1), because I wanted to have rooted phone, I read informations about this on couple sites.
I decided to use z4root.
Now when I connecting my phon to the PC kies shows only Phone+Contacts.
Doesent show any data on the SD, and also doesn't show any informations about version of firmware...
How can I fix this?
Best Regards
v
PS: I also installed Link2SD, AppsToSD and Titanium Backup
update to latest version of kies and also un-install the USB drivers from device manager -> disconnect phone and connect it to other USB port open kies and the driver should install again hope this can fix your problem
Nope, that doesn't work either
Kies updated to 2.0.0.11032_12...
On the phone USB Debug mode disabled, USB Options-> ~Ask after connection.
Kies still does not sees properly the phone, and phone does not shows the window with options Kies,~media player, ~mass storage.....
I had exactly the same (infuriating) problem.
I fixed mine by uninstalling Kies, uninstalling the USB drivers then installing java (I know this shouldn't make a difference, but it seemed to).
I was using Windows 7 64 bit.
I found the Samsung_USB_drivers_for_mobile_phones.exe file & saved this to my desktop (before uninstalling).
I think Kies saves it to program files x86/samsung/kies/usb drivers/
Then after uninstall of everything, then installing java,
right click on the driver and run as an administrator.
When it asks where to install it, place it in the /program files/samsung/kies/usb drivers/ folder (not the x86 version, install it to the normal one).
Then find the Kies install file and right click that & install as an administrator to, but let Kies install this to the x86 program files location (default).
Then when it's completely installed (skip finding media, you can do that later), turn off the phone, then connect it to the USB cable.
Then turn the phone ON and let the drivers install as normal.
Just let it do it's thing and after a while, after all installations are complete, Kies will show your phone & will let you see all the folders, not just the contacts list & will show you the firmware version and everything.
Hope this helps.
I made sure I 'ran as administrator' on both install files.
Not sure which bit helped, but it worked for me (and I've tried everything, believe me)
*EDIT*
google "Why does Samsung Kies not detect my Samsung mobile phone" for the same info
**EDIT** x2
on looking in my /progam files x86/samsung/kis/usb drivers folder, it sems that Kies has reapplied the driver there & removed it from the 64 bit program files path. Ether way, one of the above steps fixed it, perhaps it's just that I ran everything ad an admin, who knows ?
Installation of java wouldn't make any difference, unless the installer was java based. The admin rights might have done the trick.

Actually, ignore my last post.
Kies now cannot see my Galaxy Apollo anymore, (even though every other program on my PC can !! including WMP12 !!)
I'm sick of this.
What's so hard about detecting a connected device ? !!
Sorry for the rant, but I'm getting really annoyed by this piece of software (Grrr !)
Yeah, I do whay you write, it's the same on my pc... now everything is .. not working
I think it's not only a Kies problem+USB drivers but also system on the phon has been changed thats why my phone is not properly working with kies.
Of course, still when I trying to connect my phone to pc I don't see on my phone screen options window that was before z4root/app2sd/link2sd - I mean Kies, media, storage
I see that there is a problem with a part of the Kies - DeviceManager is crashing after phone connecting..
Well now, the only way I can connect, is by (control panel) > uninstall programs > uninstall SAMSUNG USB drivers.
(while the phone is NOT connected).
Then launch Kies.
Then select the menu (tools > install driver)
Then wait while it installs the drivers (again !!)
After waiting for about a minute, I reconnect my GT-I5800 to my PC via the (not so universal) USB cable.
I then wait till all the (your device has been installed) messages stop.
Then I have normal Kies control of my Apollo.
But, if I disconnect it, then try to reconnect it, I get no joy.
It will sit at "connecting" forever.
The only way I can reconnect, is to rinse & repeat.
(I.E. uninstall the drivers & 'GOTO 10', which is really starting to boil my p!ss as I have no idea why this is happening).
Every single piece of poo software on my PC can see my phone, except Kies.
Does anyone have any ideas as it'd driving me mad !! :`(
try this
uninstall kies and all samsung drivers from ur pc
goto download mode (does not need root & it's safe)-(do not open odin)
a list of 3-5 drivers will get installed
then unplug the device, remove and re-insert the battery
install kies then connect ur phone by the usual way
I have the same problem with my phone. An other i5800 can connect successfully with my laptop, KIES and the same cable, but my phone doesn't.
It works...
what I've done....
Back to factory settings in the phone... so just great, the best corrective actions that I ever had :/
I want my HTC Uni back...
*edit*
Kies works 100% ok eaven now sees the update to froyo
so problem was changes that was made by one of the additional software on the phone
Thread can b closed
I also had this problem from long time. I found the reason was the Kies (both 1.5xx and 2.XX) versions are unable to use the default USB driver thats come along with Windows OS.
So the best solution is uninstall the USB driver from Windows device manager and after that install the USB driver from Kies. Then definitely your phone will be recoginized with Kies.
Note: After Uninstalling USB driver and before installing the USB driver from Kies sometimes windows itself tries to install the default USB driver so disable it when its promted.
Hope this helps....

Install latest kies (clean install). Before connecting the phone to usb remove the SD card and start in kies. The phone would be detected and drivers would be installed. Disconnect, reinsert SD card and connect again. Problem will be solved. Worked for me.
Just did a quick search but could not see it mentioned. 2.1.1.11124_17 29-12-2011
usually new Kies = new Samsung phone or tablet firmware??

Sometimes but not always. Would be a nice New Year present though id they did.
Only problem I have after update is it says it cannot find a Bluetooth driver when I pair it with the PC and "Connect via Bluetooth" throws up a denial error.
updated it last night to this version, keep on getting this message.
Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC STUDIO) mode,
Current connection mode not supported by Kies.

Have you turned off USB debugging?

yes i have.
I was just prompted to update my Kies software. Before I did so, I searched for the download because I have had experiences of the update function screwing up the installation. (Uninstalling and then installing via the exe corrected the issues.) I couldn't find it. On the Samsung website only the older version is available for download.
I installed the update and everything went okay. Now I keep getting two prompts when I connect my Galaxy S II.
(Translating from German)
1. Album information cannot be imported. (Albuminformationen können nicht importiert werden.)
2. Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies-(PC Studio) mode. Kies doesn't support the current connection mode. (Verbinden Sie das Gerät im Samsung Kies-(PC Studio)-Modus erneut. Der gegenwärtige Verbindungsmodus wird von Kies nicht unterstützt.)
Now I can't connect my device with Kies.
I will reboot, repair the installation and see if I can get it to work. If anybody knows where I can download the installation file, pls let me know; it would make my day.
Does it suck any less?

If it sucked anymore it would put Hoover out of business real fast.
Now I'm connected. Didn't reboot my computer. I turned my phone off and then back on and I also let Kies re-install the drivers. Now I can connect.
The first prompt about album information was due to having a cd in the drive, which Kies couldn't read the album information from. Why does Kies try to read the cd when I'm just trying to connect my phone?
There is no firmware update for the phone.
When I tried to synchronize with Outlook I got two prompts
Contacts: 50% or more have been deleted....
Appointments: 50% or more have been deleted....
I of course aborted the synchronization.
I took a look at the GUI and the settings to synchronize all contacts hadn't been selected. It also showed a strange folder by the name 00000. Pointing to a folder or file without extension called TestDD. In the GUI I selected to synchronize all contacts and it worked without prompts or issues.
I was able to copy files to the phone without issues.
Kies still doesn't show the artist of mp3 files in its GUI and yes the tags are complete.
Kies sucks, not enough to replace Hoover and not enough to make me stop using it. Copying files is not such a big deal, I love the one-click ability to synchronize with Outlook

As in my previous post, I've had issues with Kies after using the on-line update function. This time it was the same. If for example I started Kies to synchronize contacts everything functioned properly. I exited Kies. Then if later in the day I just attached my phone (without starting Kies) just to transfer files from and to the external SD card of my phone via Explorer, My phone wasn't recognized and I had to go into device manager and re-install the drivers.
I checked in the installed software panel and although I had updated my Kies installation, the version displayed in software was Kies version 2.1.0.11112_41
Today I decided to check if a standalone Kies installer was available and I was happy to find it. I uninstalled Kies as well as the USB drivers, deleted all folders including the ones under My Files and Documents and Settings, cleaned all references to Kies as well as the USB drivers from my registry and installed Kies using the installer and now the issue is resolved.
They must have fixed some things in this version. While synchronizing contacts, for example, it noticed differences between the contacts in Outlook and my phone as well as differences between entries in my Outlook calendar and the calendar of my phone, which wasn't the case before re-installing.
I also noticed that after installation, the installer for the USB drivers is now located in the USB folder of the Kies program installation folder. In previous versions the unpacked driver files were located there.
Yea, I have the problem even tried on two different PC. What going on with the recent Kies version. Can any developer or technical give some response???? this is so painful

Hi,
I have a laptop EliteBook 8570p and Original Windows8 upgraded to 8.1 running. Downloaded Samsung Kies3 software (also tried it with regular Kies) and installed it. Kies3 does not start, got a popup wich says: can't find ordinaal 12148 in DLL file c:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies3\Kies3.exe. I have a 64bits system. On google I was not able to find a solution. I copied the entired map Kies3 from another computer (Kies3 worked on that one) to my system, restart but dit'nt work. Cleaned/ tuned up register with advanced system optimiser, dit'nt work. Samsung also does'nt come with a solution so I hope someone here knows one.
Have you tried reinstalling with the exe file? im on win8.1 and got no issues
