HELP!! Apache USB Device Not Recognized

[h2onions]

idk if this will help with the apache but i think it happened to me once on my vogue where I put it in bootloader before it was connected to wmdc(vista) on my laptop, then it installed a driver and the unable to recognize device thing or whatever.
Then i unhooked my vogue and and restarted it to get out of bl, then i went into device manager on my laptop and uninstalled the drivers that were made that had errors.
Plug my vogue in (NOT in bootloader) and let it install the drivers to recognize the phone and connected to wmdc to be able to recognize in wmdc (might be same for active sync?).
unplugged phone, put the phone in bl and plugged it back into the laptop and it could recognize it, and i was able to flash a rom.

Idk this would help, cuz idk if the drivers are the same or not when in bl or not in bl and this is also on my vogue.
