Problems with Uploading a Sketch [solved]

[quote author=Coding Badly link=topic=156693.msg1180409#msg1180409 date=1364768347]

Is the device insertion sound generated?[/quote]

Yes

Does the Arduino appear in Device Manager under Ports?

Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM5); no ports heading appeared until the Arduino was connected. After the device insertion sound, then the ProliOM5) appeared under Ports. When I last checked, it stays under the Ports heading until reboot.

What is the exact error message?

Done uploading
Binary sketch size: 1,084 bytes (of a 32,256 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x30

Thank you
