Samsung Kies Tips - Firmware Updates
First Time Installation
If you are installing Samsung Kies for the first time save yourself some trouble by installing the hotfix KB2461678, otherwise it might seem as if Kies is possibly frozen - as it takes some time to do any .NET update.
(This hotfix requires Microsoft .NET v4.0 Framework)
Windows 7 Users
Set these programs to Windows XP Compatibility Mode
Location:
\Program Files\SAMSUNG\Kies\
Files:
- Kies.exe
- KiesAgent.exe
Location:
\Program Files\SAMSUNG\Kies\External\FirmwareUpdate\
Files:
- AdminDelegator.exe
- AgentInstaller.exe
- AgentUpdate.exe
- KiesPDLR.exe
This should resolve any issues with Kies not responding/idling when trying to perform a firmware update.

Thank you, this is helpful! I was setting everything to run as administrator while trying to update phones, as that was the only workaround I had found. Now, someone just needs to do something about Kies being a terrible piece of software.

@xustta: The post does indeed matter. Just because it doesn't specifically pertain to you at this precise moment doesn't mean that it won't help someone else. You're not the only one that uses Kies.
@greenfuman: Are you running Win7 64bit? There are numerous issues that may arise when running Kies on 64bit W7, so if this you, you may want to try running it in compatibility mode. XP SP3 is usually a good choice when you run into compatibility issues. Also, make sure that you're running Kies as an Admin.
