Uninstall HTC Sync

[doofenshmirtz]

Hi all,

Working on rooting my HTC Evo
I installed HTC Sync
I thought I read somewhere that I need to unistall before proceeding with root - is that correct?

I tried uninstalling, but when I connected cable I received an a exclamation or other character in device manager "device not working properly"

I tried updating the driver, but that did not work

thanks
