a few people are having this problem including superluminova in
this thread last night where I said I would go through this myself today to find out what needs to be done.
As it works perfectly on my pc I'm going to use a PC that has never had anything sony ericsson on it so check back on that thread little later and I hope I can give some answers, unless someone else who has sorted through this and can post before I get finished
edit:
looks like you got in before me
I'm going to start in about 10 minutes

What I did (and got to work) was:
1. Installed K700 sync station sw (at that point i did not have DSS-25)
2. Downloaded DSS-25 drivers from SE website and unzipped to a tempdir on desktop.
3. Plugged syncstation in free USB-port, then Windows popped up the "found new hardware" dialogue and wanted drivers. I then pointed at the tempdir i created and put the driver files in and Windows found and installed syncstation.
4. I then opened Device manager, right clicked "SEM sync station" under "ports" clicked properties and noted that it had picked COM7 as virtual port. While still in device manager i changed port settings to 115200.
5. In control panel i activated COM7 in Phone monitor, waited around 30 seconds and Presto! Phone and computer communicated!
The online upgrading toll still won´t work, but that has nothing to do with phone or computer, I am convinced it will be up and running real soon!
Cheers!

Hi people,
thanks for the great talk through but my Sync STation STILL wont recognise my k700i.
It seems so intermittent, sometimes after ages of sitting in the dock, the icon pops up in my system tray saying it recognises the phone, then it dissapears again.
The other day after installing it via the above guide it seemed to work a-ok.... then all of a sudden it decided not to work... then it decided to work again for afew minutes.
Then, when it appears to work, i use the file manager to browse the file structure of the phone and i sometimes get into a folder e.g 'Pictures' and then it says 'Unexpected error - unable to connect'. sometime i get error when i just try to connect to the phone when it says it's connected up.
Any ideas? I've about had enough of this damn phone! It could be so amazing if Orange hadn't of just destroyed it !
Cheers,
Gav
