Arduino Yun No Com Port

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello,

I am unable to get a COM port to appear for the Yun I just received. No COM port or unrecognized device appears when connecting the YUN to my Windows 7 Home premium PC. I've uploaded the latest 1.5.7 IDE with drivers after deleting my older version. The wireless port does appear and work and I am able to upload programs to the Yun just not through a serial COM Port. Also my Uno COM port is recognized and works fine.
Many of the Bridge example programs require the code to be uploaded through the serial connection and not the wireless connection. I have updated the Open WRT as well. I'm using a USB to Micro connector off of a Snow lizard charger to powers the Yun and connect through the PC. Are the connections the same for a USB power line and USB to Micro serial line? My Yun didn't come with a cable.

Thanks,
Garry

The problem was solved. I tried another USB cable and the device was found and appearing as a COM Port.
