Loaded the Audrino 1.0 software for the Arduino UNO R3 on Windows 7 Home premium Toshiba Laptop with no problem. Plugged in the A to B printer cable and plug installed the necessary drivers. A pop up box came up saying the USB RS232 Emulator Driver was not signed, however started the Array sample, uploaded it to the microprocessor and things worked fine. Blinking lights and all that joy.
Not so much luck on my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 Compaq desktop. I don't think the emulator driver was loaded because I get this error:
System wide configuration file is "C:\Program Files\arduino-1.0\hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf"
Using Port : \.\COM3

avrdude done. Thank you.
How do I know the USB/RS232 emulation is occuring on my machine? Does anyone know where I can get the driver and install it. This is a big frustration.
Thanks
