I have a surface running windows 10 and a raspberry pi 3 that work well with the Arduino software. but its getting messy using 2 devices, so i got giving a hp folio that i just want to use for my projects .
I have a fresh install of windows 7. Every time i try to compile i get this error
open C:\Users\Garage\Documents\Ardunio: The system cannot find the file specified.
Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno
I can see the the board and get the board info. I have updated my library.
I just cannot seem to find the info for the board. The board i am using works on the other two devices .
I've had a look online but could not find the same sort of problem.
I get the same sort of error with a mega board as well.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled with a fresh down load and it has made no difference.
I used the windows installer with xp and up Arduino 1.8.5
Dose anyone have any ideas ??
Sorry but i cannot find USING CODE TAGS on the toolbar
But this is what i got

The problem is caused by the comma in your sketchbook folder name: C:\Users\Garage\Documents\Ardunio, addons,
Please do this:
Rename the "C:\Users\Garage\Documents\Ardunio, addons," folder to something that doesn't contain commas.
(In the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences > Sketchbook location > select the new folder name > OK
The code tags button on the toolbar looks like this: </> .
If you can't see the toolbar then you might be using a browser that's not fully compatible with the Arduino forum.
I am using chrome as my browser and i do not have that screen.
I changed the dir to sketch and it now compiles.
Thank you so much i wasted a week and you helped me in 30 mins
Thanks heaps

A similar error occurs when the Arduino IDE is installed under a path that contains `,`. The same would surely occur with an installation path that contained `;` but the Arduino IDE won't start under this path (https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/7658).
If arduino-builder can't be made to support these characters then I recommend the sketchbook preference reject paths with them in it.
