Hi, i have two problem with arduino duemilanove

  1. when i press serial monitor arduino resets, even when i not write serial.begin on software.

  2. on arduino start the loop led flashes 4-5 times after that he start, this happens only when i connect arduino at pc, if i connect arduino on 220v> usb he start immediately

Yes that's how it works.

Yes that is how it works, it is looking to see if a program is to be downloaded, if not it continues. The LEDs are controlled by the PC not the arduino.

When you close the serial monitor you also reset the arduino.
