Adb drivers are indeed different.

Those were originally posted at XDA for Evo 3D, hope this helps.

Thank you for the speedy reply. I tried uninstalling the HTC drivers I had again and the phone showed up in 'Other Devices' again. I right clicked, Update Driver, and chose the location I extracted the zip data to. I get an error saying Windows couldn't find the driver software. See this screenshot:

Any ideas? Thanks again.

Ok, I'm confused, sounds to me like you followed the original advice that worked for everyone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435

Sorry.

I wonder if it's update rather than install as listed here - https://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver

That's a slightly different procedure.

Yes, this is the one I've tried a few times. Says that it cannot find the driver even though I can see the INF file.

Tried that. Did not work. Very frustrating. When I do install the HTC drivers I no longer can see the Phone in device manager and HTC Sync does not connect to the phone. I do see the phone under Portable Devices as 'Evo V 4G', but I'm guessing that's just the SD card mounted via USB. I can access the SD card without problem.

If all you want is to run adb and fastboot for rooting, you can boot Ubuntu off of a live usb or cd (no installation to your PC required) and then just do what you want.

Linux does not require usb drivers, that's strictly an unnecessary Windows invention, like the registry lol.

Let me know if you're interested.

Actually what I'm wanting to do is display my phone's display on my windows display and be able to control it. I want to be able to use 3G data and not WIFI so all the options I've found require either adb or usb connectivity. The windows driver is keeping me from doing both of those. I've found Mobizen which works fine for displaying the screen over 3G but the lag makes it almost unusable.
