Hey, I'm having trouble installing my drivers for my Arduino on Windows Vista. When I plug it in, it automatically installs the drivers for a usb serial and puts it under COM 4 which isnt an option for ARDUINO IDE, is there any way I can install the regular drivers and use COM 1 and 3? Any help would be appreciated
Actually mine sometime gets to com7 and is a option in Arduino ide!!!
so probably the drivers isn't install properly or for some obscure reason Arduino doesn't see it!
Did you try using the supply driver in arduino directory?
tomttom: do you have any other applications installed that might be trying to read serial ports (e.g. PDA sync applications or bluetooth applications)? Or any firewalls that might be blocking access to them?
