I downloaded the FLIP software. I then shorted out the required pins to put it in DFU mode. It did not work at all. I don't see it in devices. It still does the same thing.I went to the device manager and I clicked on Install Legacy Device. I found the Arduino UNO R3. Now I see the Arduino UNO R3 and it has a yellow triangle. I believe I can see it now because of the website you referred to [MOD] Arduino Enhanced Release 1.0.5 for Windows (installer, drivers, etc) +SRC - Libraries - Arduino Forum because it installed the R3 drivers. It says the drivers are up to date but still has the yellow triangle. Hmm.... I'm so stumped now.
Right click the yellow icon and click install drivers, point to the folder I specified in a previous message. Now your arduino should work
