Does the command devices give you any results?
Do you have the devices.xml in the program files->common files->Symbian directory? what does it contain?

Yes i have devices.xml in that folder. It contains:

Have you installed everything with right-click + Run as Administrator?

EDIT: apparently your files are in place. You may try if this Run as Administrator thing helps with the command prompt.

I just tried to reinstall the S60 v2.1 with right click + Run as Admin but still... i got the same problem... do i need to reinstall everything now?

Sorry, I meant that you should launch cmd.exe (Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, Command prompt) as admin, then it can get write access to devices.xml - because it is in a protected folder (Program Files).
