Hi guys, I just got my Hydra and I've run into a problem...

I've just installed the driver for my USB connection to the Hydra, and I think I've done something wrong because when I press <F10> in Propeller Tools, as instructed on page 49 of the book, I get an Error message saying:

Error
No Propeller chip found on any COM port
Scanned COM1

I installed the driver and it gave me this screen:

But I noticed this:

When I go to install the driver for THAT, I get this screen:

I don't know what to do! Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Well, the obvious thing I see is that the driver is not installed, at least not properly. I would recommend using FTDI's CDM Uninstaller to remove the driver and any registry entries that might remain. Afterward, reboot and re-install the latest driver from the website. If you're running Windows 7 64-bit you may want to look at the post below.
