Programming a Arduino Pro 5v

We are using the Arduino Pro 5 volt board for the first time. To program we are using the external mini usb board (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … ts_id=8165). We are unable to upload to the Arduino. All we get is the standard error message. We have checked the comm port and board setting on the complier of course. We also updated the USB driver to the one that’s packed with Arduino 0014.

We are using XP.

I have what looks like the same problem as you. Haven’t tried the solution, yet, however.
