So I just bought my arduino so I'm new, this might be a really dumb problem I'm having. I'm following all the steps on the getting started page for windows (I'm running 7 home premium 64 bit) but when i get to the part about installing the driver I get as far as browsing for the file. the problem is that under the drivers subfolder only the ftdi subfolder shows up which apparently is not what I want. if i go into the drivers folder outside of the driver installation browser I can see the file i need though. Ive tried simply inputting the location manually but it fails every time no matter what permutation i put in, I've also tried simply going to the list of drivers as it was suggested to me that there should be an "Arduino llc" option under manufacturer with the necessary driver... it wasnt there. the driver is there windows is just retarded... or im retarded... or both haha. anyways Ive spent all day trying to do this and searching the web for the answer if anyone could help thatd be awesome.
possibly useful information: the laptop im using (toshiba satellite p745) is new as of yesterday so im still getting used to it and windows seven so there may be some setting someplace that I havent found yet that is causing this problem. also, I am using microsoft security essentials which is also a new program for me so idk if maybe theres some kind of security block causing this although I doubt it.
