I've been trying to help you at the other forum, your phone is not "bricked" since you say that you can boot to recovery. Can you boot to recovery? If so you don't need to connect your phone to your PC to install the rom. You won't need drivers or your phone to be recognized. You will need an SDCard and an SDCard reader on your PC. Format the SDCard (fat32) in Windows, copy the zBehold7.zip file to it. Put the card in your phone, boot to recovery, run the format system and format data commands. then select the option to install zip from SDCard, select choose which zip file and select the file you just put on the SDCard. You have never stated whether you completed this or if any errors or misunderstandings of the instructions, have occurred.
If you cannot boot to recovery, but can boot to download mode then get the drivers here, it is the PDANet drivers but it is a direct link to the drivers only, no need to install PDANet. http://www.junefabrics.com/android/driver.php
If you don't try this or have any feedback about what step it is exactly that fails, then nobody can help, short of you sending your phone to them.

Ok how about you read this.....

If no boot, it brick. Still boots into recovery, no boot into Android= Bricked. I need to reflash my phone with the recovery/kernel again. Don't ask why, but I need to flash it again.

Wow rude! Keep acting like that and nobody is going to help you. How bout you read your own link pal. It clearly says if you can get in recovery its not bricked! Plus its just a post on a forum by a everyday android users, not an official definition (as if one is really needed). You said you can get download mode and recovery so...NO BRICK!!
