DUE Won't Connect to Arduino IDE

Hi, I am having problems with getting my Arduino DUE to to connect to my computer. I am using the port closest to the DC jack. My computer isn't detecting it as a device or anything. My Arduino uno seems to be working fine though. Also I have the Arduino SAM board library installed but when I choose it from the list I get an error that says Could not find boards.txt. A copy of the .txt file it "couldn't find is attached.

boards.txt (24.5 KB)

Did you run the appropriate dpinst package in program files(x86) / arduino / drivers?

Does it appear as unrecognised device in USB category in device manager?

What version of windows are you using?

What version of IDE are you using?

What version of Sam boards are you using?

Regards,

Graham

PS. closest to the power jack is the programming port, the other one is the native port.

Did you run the appropriate dpinst package in program files(x86) / arduino / drivers?
No

Does it appear as unrecognised device in USB category in device manager?
No it doesn't appear as any device but it is receiving power.

That might be a good place to start.
