Error Message: "avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x0"

John,
It's brand new. We haven't used it before. The IDE is 1.0.3; the board appears to be just an "Uno," no R3.
The steps you gave didn't work.
I just noticed that it appears the drivers aren't installed. Do you have any advice on how to get those?

Thanks
