Arduino Micro Upload trouble with Windows7

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi,

I've been working flowlessly on OSX with a Micro.
Trying to use it on Windows7, everything works but uploading.

I can use it with Processing, open the Serial Monitor but uploading takes forever and ultimately fails with the error:

avrdude: ser_send(): write error: sorry no info avail

Sounds like the port is not good but since I can monitor Serial on this port I guess there's no error.

Using Aduino IDE 1.0.6 on Windows7 64bit

thanks for your help.

Hello!

Try this:

try selecting your Arduino board in the options.
Change the COM port.

yours sincerely,

Nevermind, Windows needed a reboot it seems.

I was surprised it wasn't behaving as it does on a Mac.

Restarting the IDE is sometimes also necessary also to get the right port, which apparently changes regularly.
