is your win7 x86 or x64? if it's running x64, you need to disable signature enforcement. you can read instruction on how to flash your phone posted by Rapid81 here, also another guide, grab Octan fron this thread and you should be able to flash your phone without problems.

the latest samsung i8000 firmware is here, posted by another MOD Speedfrog.

many people have had problems with KIE and it is not recommended,at least i have never used it. you can simply download the latest firmware from Speedfrog's thread then follow the instructions from Rapid81's thread. you should be fine.

if you have any further questions just post in this thread and many people are willing to help you out. and welcome to Modaco :(

P.S. please do not cross posting your questions, stick to this one. it is easier for people to help you.
