I was considering a Samsung Libre c3300 'phone, which is not an Android 'phone, but before doing so learnt of possible Kies problems. So, before purchasing a c3300, I installed Kies on my Vista laptop. The installation was no problem and Kies opened OK, but when subsequently booting up, the laptop failed to start and underwent its own start-up repair. When it started, after about 10 mins for the repair, there was no sign of the Kies software nor an associated codec. There was no loss to any other files as far as I know, but the Kies software has been deleted by the repair. Hope this may be of interest to future Kies users.
