Dear Arduino friends and citizens.
I am having great difficulty loading compiled sketches into my Arduino Uno R3.
(It is not loading).
I am using a PC with:
Windows 7 ver. 6.1.7601 Pk 1, build 7601.
The System Type, x86-based PC.
1GB RAM and 160 GB H.Drive.
This is a dedicated PC with very little loaded SW except Arduino.
Arduino ver. 1.6.12 with serial chip Mega16U.
Uno R3 was bought on this site, not a clone.
Uno board is good since it loads with another Windows 7 PC having same version but is x64 based.
I believe the driver is the problem but cannot get the correct one loaded in the PC.
I have tried loading both from zip file and directly from Internet, always the same result. Also, I have checked the Device Manager and Uno is connected to COM1.
But, Under Tools> Serial Port the correct driver is not there.
If someone has suggestions, please let me know or contact me.
Thank you.
