PC not recognizing mytouch 4G

I just bought this phone a couple of weeks ago. It runs on 2.3.6.

I am not interested in rooting my phone. All I wanted was the No Root Screenshot It app. However, my PC doesn't recognize my phone. It just sits in device manager as Android Adapter. Error description below:

Problem Event Name: PnPDriverNotFound
Architecture: x86
Hardware Id: USBVID_12D1&PID_1038&REV_0227&MI_01 ***(add backslash between USB and VID. Forum would not allow me to add it because of spam feature for links)***
OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

So I can't even run eclipse or SDK to do anything. I have tried downloading the HTC device drivers alone, then the whole HTC sync package. It didn't work. Then I tried using the drivers in the SDK folder (under extras->google->usb_driver) Nothing recognizes my device, nor do any of the drivers I have tried worked...whether they are OEM drivers or manufacturer drivers.

Yes, I have enabled USB debugging.

I am an intermediate user and programmer. I have even tried editing the string content, updating it with a new string, into the usb inf file in the sdk package to recognize my device, but unfortunately the code was made for much earlier versions of android.

I am running Windows Vista SP2. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Alright. Exchanged phones for a Huawei, same kernal though.

Successfully rooted for now, but I need a Universal HBoot Security Off for this. I checked out Universal HBoot Security Off (S-OFF) for Use After Visionary Method (Updated 09.29.10) - TheUnlockrTheUnlockr

Went to the link provided to look it up for the manufacturer, but Huawei doesn't seem to have one listed for u8680 Mytouch4G. I need to have S-Off so I can utilize 4EXT Recovery. Any suggestions? Thanks.
