ok guys need some pro help here

the story my son was downloading crap from youtube or some other site and got a bad virus on my computer. i reset computer back to factory original and now my gecko isnt recognized. in hbc it shows the gecko icon lit up so i know it is good but in the device manager i dont have any com ports.
i have installed the drivers from the ftdi site and still nothing
i usually use geckoreader by rwin to do my debugging but when it start it it says com1 doesnt exist

any help would be greatly appreciated i have been wanting to continue working on my projects but without a debugger it will be almost impossible

hope someone will help a dummy out!!!!

Well, this is just going off of my memory (and I only have original USB Gecko, not SE version), but...

Try going back into Device Manager, and with the USB Gecko plugged in, go into the Properties for USB Serial Converter. Under the Advanced tab, there should be an option to tick "Load VCP" (Virtual COM Port). Do that, and it should work afterwards.
