arduino driver - windows

[mr. p]

I do not seem to be able to download the arduino driver.  I followed the instructions at the arduino web site.  However when I go to 'control panel, system, hardware, device manager' a new category appears '?Other devices. ?USB'. It does not show the arduino UNO which is plugged in.  If I try 'update driver' the wizard appears but cannot find anything with arduino.  If I go to 'Programs, National Instruments, VISA, driver wizard' and follow instructions for USB it all seems to work, EXCEPT the driver still does not appear in 'device manager' 

What am I doing wrong? Or alternately, what should I do?

thanks in advace for any help!

mr. p;

Are you still having problems? The driver you need to get will list itself as a 'TTL' or 'Serial' Driver, it won't list as an Arduino driver.  Are you available Thursday evenings? If you are (and you are working on a laptop)  please reply to this some Thursday when you can go to a The Hacktory. I'll try to make it there to help you install the driver, or someone else at the open house can help.

hack on,
