5800: Software updater can't find phone

So yeah, the Nokia Software Updater can't find my phone, and the "in-phone" updater gives me an Connection Error. Nokia PC Suite detects my phone just fine, although the Connection Center doesn't.

 

I'm connecting through a USB directly to the computer.

 

Any tips? I've updated everything, from drivers to software, and also reinstalled everything twice already. I'm just out of solutions.

Make sure your phone is set to connect in PC Suite mode. Use the general profile.

If you've the latest firmware version, you have to wait till a new update comes available for your device.
