LarryD:
The procedure you went through I did yesterday and things worked on my 64 windows 7.
Maybe try to re install everything.
Which step was successful, did you have to use the worakround of selecting the other-unknown and searching the list for Arduino? Or was a simple install from file enough?
The problem is that I CANT just do it again. The unknown device is now only listed in the USB section, not the other section.
Now when I say "select driver from list" it only shows me USB items. That step in the workaround that says "select type port" is not available to me.
