My best guess is to restart both your Pre and your PC, leaving the Pre connected.

[RedPlatypus87]

i've restarted both and nothing changed, should i try uninstalling quickinstall and webdoctor and all that and start from scratch?

[DaHui623]

Are you running the latest version of Quick Install? I believe it is up to v3.14.

i have 3.14

Do you have the Palm SDK installed? You could possibly download the Preware .ipk file and use the Palm-install command to install it.

[RedPlatypus87]

I'm not sure what Palm SDK is, I don't think I have it. I have tried the stand alone installing of Preware, if that has anything to do with it.

[DaHui623]

the SDK would come directly from Palm's Developer website. Though, admittedly, I am no developer so I wouldn't be of much help there.
Not to be annoying, but just to be sure. Your Pre is in developer mode and set to just charge when connected to your PC?

[RedPlatypus87]

It's in developer mode, but in USB mode when I try to download homebrew apps through quickinstall

[DaHui623]

it needs to be in Just Charge.
