If I plug the USB cable into each of the USB ports there is no change to the Device Manager listing. When I go to Device Manager I see no Port options the Arduino device does not show up at all.

The Serial Port selection menu option is grayed out. When I plug the board into a USB port, the power light glows green, and the pin 13 (“L”) LED flashes yellow. I’m trying to get started with Arduino, I have a Uno board and am running the 0022 IDE. I also have a Toshiba Satellite T215D with 64-bit Win 7 and it shows the same results, so it isn’t specifically the computer that’s the problem.

Sorry to keep prolonging this thread, but I’m also running Win 7 64-bit on an HP Pavilion dv7. When you launch the Arduino environment to do your programming, you should be able to access TOOLS>SERIAL PORT. Windows will finish up the driver installation from there. Next, choose the "Browse my computer for Driver software" option.įinally, navigate to and select the Uno's driver file, named "ArduinoUNO.inf", located in the "Drivers" folder of the Arduino Software download ( not the "FTDI USB Drivers" sub-directory). Right click on the "Arduino UNO (COmxx)" port and choose the "Update Driver Software" option. (scobot - I could not find "Ports (COM & LPT)" but I found the Arduino Uno under "Other devices" - but after following these instructions I now have "Ports (COM & LPT)" in device manager, with Arduino Uno listed.) You should see an open port named "Arduino UNO (COMxx)" Once the System window is up, open the Device Manager. While in the Control Panel, navigate to System and Security.Click on the Start Menu, and open up the Control Panel.

After a few moments, the process will fail, despite its best efforts Plug in your board and wait for Windows to begin it's driver installation process.Here's what it said about installing the "drivers" for the Uno on Windows 7 (something I either forgot I did when I using my Duemilanove or just never knew): This worked for me to solve the "Can't select serial port" problem I was having with my Uno.
