Upload error message Uno V3 Newbie

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Hi
I just purchased a Arduino Uno V3 board from Radio Shack today. It has a reset button on next to the usb connector. I installed the latest software Arduino 1.0 and loaded the usb drivers for Uno. I'm using a older laptop with Windows 2000. I loaded the sketch "blink" and changed the delay to 500ms. I selected "Board" to be "Uno" and "Com Port" of "9" which windows says is the comport. Then selected "Programmer" "Arduino as isp".

Did I select the correct things? I get an error message as follows:

Binary sketch size: 1026 bytes (of a 32256 byte maximum)

avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x41

avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x41
avrdude: stk500_initialize(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x42
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.

avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

Thanks

I did the work around and now able to program my new Uno board. So I'm very happy to have my new Arduino Uno board working. Now to learn more about Arduino. Great to be a part of this forum.
