Just getting my feet wet on the ATMEGA328. Running through the examples - I loaded "Hello World!" and can't get out of it.
When I upload another program it just starts and runs "Hello World!"
Appreciate any help.

When I upload another program
I suspect you are not actually uplaoding anything, so lets have more detail of your setup and what messages you get when you hit the upload button, that's the one second to the end on the right not the one with a big arrow on it on the left.
You appear to be correct - the activation (handshake) of the serial port appears to RUN the resident "Hello World!" stored program. SO the real quest may be how to enable the auto reset or delete the stored program.
thx for the help
Are you running a standalone, or a "real" Arduino, such as the Duemilanove, Diecimila, etc.?
Duemilanove - Bought the Starter Kit
Duemilanove
The Duemilanove should automatically reset when the IDE tries to send it a sketch. I assume you are in fact using the standard IDE?
Straight from the website - arduino.exe
I did experience this while "playing" with the other examples.
Sorry - I did not experience this while play with the other examples only since I uploaded "Hello World!"
Do you have the correct board and port selected in the IDE ?
Do the small smd RX / TX LED's on the Arduino board flash on / of when you are uploading to the board?
What mesage do you get in the IDE at the end of the upload ?
Never get an error message - the TX goes on steady since it's transmitting the "Hello World"
Mystery Solved!
THe board setting in Ardunino 0017 was not set to the ATMEGA386 but to the 186. This must have gotten fat fingered.
Now all is working - When I upload it auto-resets properly.
Thanks >Calph
Cool !
Xmas is saved, hope it's merry one.
