Hello Sparkfun Forum,

I have so many questions I hardly no where to start.

I got the MP3Shield_Library_Demo.ino uploaded and it
would work but now. I tried the MP3ButtonPlayer2
but could not get it to work so I went back to the
MP3Shield_Library_Demo.ino but now I get
"avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\\.\COM3": The system cannot find the file specified."

So looked in the Device Manager and there is no Listing for the Com ports.
Before it said COM3: Arduino
So how do I get the Arduino connected to the COM port?

Have rebooted the PC and the Arduino several times.

Thanks.
