Hi,
It will be highly unlikely that the UNO will be at COM1,
Look here and see what is selected.
COM8 is the UNO I have connected at the moment, you will find each arduino board will have differing com numbers.
I checked the port and it's No 3 I reckon the problem must be the board I purchased on eBay I'm 99.9 % sure it's a pirate copy. When I look at the board info it tells me "BN: Unknown Board"
I guess you only get what you pay for so I binned it and ordered a genuine board from a Perth dealer , should have by first thing Monday.

Once again many thanks for all your help .

As I many thanks for all your help

PS fingers crossed the new board works lol
Don't bin it, did you select COM3 like I have COM8 on my example.
Can you post a picture of your UNO please.
Can you show me some screen captures of what your IDE shows like my posting?
Thanks.. Tom..
Hi,
That means that you have coms to the board, if you didn't then you would not get a response.
Can you load an Example code, goto Files, Examples, Basics, Blink.
The Blink example should pop up in a new window.
In that window click on the upload => icon.

Hello Tom done that , do I run blink again ?
Yes.
And as @Southpark has suggested, save the blink code as another name and use that file.
Tom....
PS, When you downloaded the IDE, did you download the .exe loading code or the .zip manual loading code?
