I just got my Ardiuno and attempted to install it using the directions. However, i did not find it like it said it should be listed, instead i found it like the first image, and when i tried to install it, i got the second image. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello,
If you are using WIN8 kindly check this thread. Serial Port problems - IDE 1.x - Arduino Forum
It may help you...
I got an error that said "The device cannot start"
Have tried to install the latest drivers needed for your board?
The microsoft page says ( Redirecting )
A Code 10 error is generated when Device Manager can't start the hardware device, a situation usually caused by outdated or corrupted drivers.

I tried seemingly everything. I turned off Driver Signature Enforcement, tried reinstalling the ardrino drivers, I even looked up the modem drivers described in that video. I don't know what to do next.
Have you trie all the required steps?
Plug in your arduino UNO and let it try and fail to install the device driver.
Go to Device Manager.
Right click on the arduino UNO driver that it couldn’t install properly and click on update driver.
Choose to do it manually (browse).
Click on the option below, “let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.
Go down and select modems (yes, you read correctly, modems)
On the left panel, find and select Compaq
On the right panel scroll to the bottom and select the ricochet wireless usb driver
Say yes to the complaint upon hitting next
Now go find this driver under modems, right click on it and go to properties
Under the modem tab on the top, change the “maximum port speed” to 9600 (the default for arduino most of the time)
And under the Advanced tab, and the “advanced port settings” button, note the COM port number used so you know what to use in the arduino application.
Done! It should work perfectly now.
Kindly recheck again. If it does not help, try to google & forum search.
Someone with more experience regarding that issue will surely help you out.
