ARC Connection Questions

Hi all, Sorry have to admit I'm a newbie at this. I'm having problems with the builder and servo connections .. I have done everything that the calibration tutorial has described. However, I can't connect to the board. Here is the error I get. I'm using windows 8 - com port is 4 - I know BT is connected - brand new batteries - tried at least 15 times with reboots etc. Any suggestions?

I did notice on the last time i loaded the builder, the error notification showed this:

Thanks

Don't worry about the TCP server.

It looks like either COM4 is the incorrect port or the bluetooth is failing (probably due to incorrect stack).

Check other COM ports available.
