Frustrated Beyond Belief

i have been trying week , half fix driver/programmer problems.

my programmer(s) working fine , quit. think windows update overwrote original drivers.

i think have tried every driver had internet.

here list of have:

hp g60-549dx notebook
windows 7 professional 64 bit

arduino 1.6.4 have tried arduino 1.8.5

two ftdi232 based programers both show usb\vid_0403&pid_6001&rev_0600

and brand new arduino usb2serial came in mail today.

it shows usb\vid_2a03&pid_003b&rev_0001

i trying load pro mini's. received 5 new ones in mail today. have tried 2 of them far no luck.
 
no matter try can not seem sketch's load.

here seeing when trying load blink sketch new arduino usb2serial programmer.

any , appreciated.

thanks in advance,
