Can not down load driver

Post by mcclellandan »

I purchased a Starter Pack for Arduino, down loaded (arduino-0022) and extrated all files. Hooked up usb cord and have try to many times to down load driver, with NO results. I down loaded cdm 20814_WHQL_Certified and try to down load it with out any luck. I do have power to the board.

I'm assuming you've followed the following link exactly:

http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows

What OS are you running? Do you have any other USB devices plugged in while you try and install the drivers?

What version of Windows are you running?
Did your system recognize that a device had been connected? (any sound or popup)
Do you see any LED activity on the UNO?

When picking the driver location, did you select "Arduino-0022/drivers" or "Arduino-0022/drivers/FTDI USB drivers"?
The UNO drivers are in the first location.

Did the Hardware Update Wizard give you any error popups? Or did it indicate a successful install as below:
