Here's how you do it:

2.) Hold down the volume down and power button

3.) The phone should boot into bootloader mode. (The three color screen).

4.) Connect to the computer, Windows will install a device called "microsoft usb sync"

5.) Run Rom Updater. It should run fine.

6.) Once it images and boots up, it will connect to Windows Mobile Device center. The icon (for some suspicious reason) shows Verizon even if you have a Sprint device, but it works fine.
First of all, thanks to both of you. I started at the top though.

Gprimr - I tried what you said, it got to the "installing usb" portion, started to install, then failed. I went into devmgr found the device, and attempted to update the driver from there with the phone still in boot loader. It found the Media Sync deal from MS Update, then told me i had a newer version already installed. However, it then showed the device as installed correctly. I ran the update utility, it didnt find the current rom on the phone, but figured i would try anyway....and it worked!!! Thanks a ton.
