K, hours later, I figured EVERYTHING out, and got it working on Vista.

I foolishly installed v. 1.20 bootloader, when my phone had 3.35..rom and 2.06 bootloader.

So, I installed 2.17 (rom). Then I re-locked the phone. Then I was able to re-install 3.35. Then I loaded the 2.40 bootloader like I should have, and am on 30% of 3.56 as we speak, cross your fingers. At least it got past 11% and I can get myself to 3.35 if all else fails.
