i've tried a whole bunch of stuff. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, installed the CP2105x drivers, reinstalled the arduino ide. Nothing, what happens is everytime I plug in my Tian I get a message from windows saying that its not recognized. I've done troubleshooting through device manager but nothing seems to help. When I try to manually install drivers and navigate to the drivers folder in my arduino install directory nothing happens, i immediately get a notification that windows thinks all my drivers for the Tian are up to date but it still says its an unknown device.
Also if I remove it entirely and plug it back in, Windows tries to install drivers but it fails.
