I'm floundering here, so if mods feel this belongs in the Android subforum (is there one? I'm using a Dream specifically, but I'm sure this could be applicable to the Magic just as much), go right ahead please.
I am using windows 7. I just love it. HTC Hotsync installs fine, but the Vista 32bit driver installed 'incorrectly'. Any attempt now to uninstall it fails, so I'm stuck.

That's the weird error I get when the uninstall fails. BTW., I've tried uninstalling both from the Driver menu itself in start, as well as from add/remove from the control panel.
Also see this window. Not sure if I can use this even?

I have tried to reinstall/re-run the driver install file, but it won't work. I've tried restarting, uninstalling...but it doesn't help.
Can someone suggest how I can 'hard' or 'force' uninstall this driver? or whatever is left of it?
I have run this Hotsync in XP fine, so I know what I'm doing...it's just in W7 that I must've mucked up the nuances of run driver>THEN plug in phone, or vice versa., or I might've enabled hotsync on the phone, when I didn't need to and that mucked it up lol.
This is the HTC link (http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=573&news_id=169)for the Hotsync and such. I followed the instructions for Vista installation. I've also tried the 'run as administrator', but again, not being able to uninstall the first failed driver installation is kind of hindering any decent 2nd "Go' at it.
Can someone confirm if Android does not sync via WWMD at all? We must use Hotsync? btw., WHY...don't they have Hotsync available in a clear link from the main page-as opposed to buried deep in HTC Asia's Magic menu??
