Hi guys,
I bought an Arduino Micro today, plugged it in, installed the latest Arduino software and that included drivers. I've been unable to run the Blink tutorial, and I've done extensive troubleshooting to try and fix it and read around on this board but not found any fix:
Firstly, in my Device manager, the Arduino isn't recognised in the way expected by tutorials. I have a port inside Ports named "Communications Port (COM1)", without the arduino logo, and it doesn't disappear when i remove the ardiuno. However, when i uninstall it and plug my arduino back in and reinstall Arduino software (with drivers), it appears again.
The blue light underneath the arduino lights up when connected, and the green light is blinking (although not at a rate of 1hz as the Blink tutorial suggests.
When I try and run the Blink tutorial, I receive the errorgiven at the bottom of this post.
I bought the Arduino inside it's packaging in a Maplins (large electrical retail in the UK), so I know it's legitimate.
I've tried:
Unplugging and plugging in the Arduino to see if it refreshes Device Manager
Reinstalling the Arduino Desktop Software in order to reload Drivers
Manually updating the Driver for COM1 (which I believe to be my Arduino, but it claims that drivers are up to date).

ps - please provide feedback on my forum etiquette, it's my first time
