It's my first time trying to use an Arduino Uno and Windows 7 System. I compiled a simple program and tried to download and received the error "Problem uploading to board. It seems to be a library error. The Arduino if on com 3. The Device Manager sees it and has driver loaded. Troubleshooting tells me I might need to update the driver?
my apology, I did not mean libraries, the troubleshooting section suggested a driver problem. I did a simple program that did compile with no errors. I then tried to upload the code and the system stated "Problem uploading to the board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/troubleshooting#upload. The only thing I find here as a possible issue is that I'm on a 64 bit system and the guide suggests the driver may need an update. I asked device manager to check for updates and it says I am current.
