TrinketFakeUsbSerial doesn't work on Windows 7 64-bit

[leecbaker]

Windows doesn't accept the TrinketFakeUsbSerial driver, and instead installs the Trinket as an "Unknown device" on Windows 7 64-bit.

When connecting a device that is using a program with the TrinketFakeUsbSerial Arduino code, Windows does detect an "Unknown device", but the TrinketFakeUsbSerial driver can't be installed for it, even manually.

This process has been documented on Youtube by another guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hih9O9Zzxs8

I had this same problem, the solution most of the time was to unplug the cable and plug it back in to the same port, My problem was it would only go into booloter mode when i was using the oragial usb port... hope that helps
