hello, i too was having the problem with syncing the lg venus phone to my comp. This worked for me and i hope it works for anyone that comes across this post. First download the necessary drivers for the phone. Next connect the phone to the computer and attempt to sync, you should get cannot sync bla bla. Ok now go to add remove programs in the control panel and search for anything that has to do with LG and uninstall them. Now try to re-sync the phone. Your comp should pop-up something trying to have you locate drives for a modem, just cancel that. Now your computer should recognize and allow you to transfer songs to your phone. Enjoy and i hope this helps.

Edit: sorry, apparently something screwed up, but i managed to fix it. Before you attempt to sync the phone the second time access the device manager page (control panel-->system-->hardware-->device manager) and then attempt to sync, you should see, under portable devices, (LG-VX8800) or something similar. now right click uninstall the LG-VX8800 device. it should attempt to re-sync and should connect. sorry again for and confusion.
