Let me know how it all worked out, I would really like to know where you stand with your software firewall (between you and me, I don't want to put too much faith on the Windows Firewall ;) )
I reverted back to WM 2003 after wasting a whole evening tying to resolve the USB sync issue. Last night I gave it another try and finally found what the problem was:

- configuring the Sygate firewall according to the MS troubleshooting does not help
- Allowing "All" does not help
- Exiting the firewall software does help ... I finally was able to sync :)

So before you uninstall sygate, simply try to close it for the duration of the sync ...
