fastboot difficulties

When i do the following task to unlock the boot loader the phone shows the blue light for a few seconds then phone simply goes into charge mode

can someone help?

On your phone, push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. The unlock button may differ between different phone models. See the note in the bottom of this page for more information on what button use on your phone.

Turn your phone off - Then press and hold the volume up button on the side then connect the usb cable

Holding the volume down button and connecting the usb cable enters flashmode with the green LED light

I could install the driver on a computer running XP, but I had issues with installing the fastboot driver in Windows 7 64-bit version. I found this tread on XDA and it helped.
