    It sounds like you have some other application which is holding the port -- like Hyperterm perhaps?

    Or, the COM port (which has your USB port on it) can't be found by the IDE.
    I think that's a harder problem.

    If the IDE can't open the port it's because something else has it open already. Do you have a PDA (Palm, etc.) that is using that port?
