system: win 8.1

Hello,
i followed the flora installation steps, but flora won`t connect.
-downloaded, unzipped, installed 1.6.4 ide
-downloaded, unzipped flora_win8signed; installed flora.inf

when flora is connected to the pc green led constant, red led blinking.
when reset pressed green led constant, red led pulsing then blinking again.

when trying to upload a sketch, i cant find a flora_port. (just com4, com5, serialport)
-->tried all 3 usb-ports with 3 different usb cables.

so... how to get started with flora? any ideas???
THANK YOU!!!

A lot of cables are 'charge only' cables that don't have any wires for the data lines.
