Hi all,
Been viewing other installation problems but no solution was fitting to mine so here goes.
first of all, I installed the driver manually and it worked fine before. Then I had a problem with my windows HID service so I resorted to reinstalling Windows 8. Then I had to install the Arduino driver again and this problem arose.
'Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Arduino Uno. One of the installers for this device cannot perform the installation at this time.'
