Driver error (Read 4924 times)

	I'm using Atmel Studio 7 plus Visual Micro and Teensyduino in a Win10 VM (VMWare Fusion on an iMac). Everything seems to have installed fine and I can upload and run code okay - which is nice. But one annoyance remains - after the code has uploaded I get an alert box containing the following message: Quote: The connection for the USB device 'Van Ooijen Technische Informatica USB Serial' was unsuccessful. Driver error. In fact, the box contains this message five times. It isn't stopping me from working, but as I said, it is annoying. Any thoughts?

	Hi, Questions ... 1) Please switch the tool bar from Debug to Release then try the upload. Do you still see the messages? 2) Open the arduino ide and try the same upload. Does this show messages? 3) Which teensy board? Thanks

	Yeah, turns out I'm getting the same problem with the Arduino IDE under Windows (don't normally use that because if I use the Arduino IDE it's under macOS). The board is the 3.2. And switching to Release made no diff. Seems I was a bit optimistic about the upload working - about half the time the upload fails (I always have to press the button on the Teensy).

	Okay thanks. It is the Teensy loader raising the messages and is the common software that both Visual Micro and Arduino run, Did you check device manager to see which usb driver you have installed for the Teensy? By the way, it's a good idea to use Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 for Teensy. Visual Micro works better with Visual Studio for Teensy. It's won't help with this issue but will be better in many ways, not least that since Teensy 3x it is not Atmel hardware

	I assume you mean Windows' Device Manager. I can't see anything in there that looks like the Teensy... It turns out I already have Visual Studio 2015 installed (must've done that a while back). But exactly the same things happen. So I'm wondering if this is all to do with running inside a VM.

	Yes as I said VS2015 will not help with this issue but it's the best solution for Visual Micro. The problem is with the Teensy uploader software so I think the pjrc.com forum is the best place and no doubt is related to running in a Virtual Machine on Mac.

	Thanks for your help - I'll go ask on the Teensy forum.
