Just got my Teensy 3.2 yesterday and excited to have it work quickly (not like the horrendous experience with the Arduino Nano's which I've never yet been able to load a sketch on). Breezed through Tutorials 1 & 2 with only a slight delay learning how to hold the reset button for a bit before letting go. Been reading the Teensy forums all morning and this looks like good stuff!
Perhaps, as a complete Noob, someone can explain to me why I can't get the Teensyduino Tutorial #3 (Serial Hello World) to work. Per instructions, I have copied the code from the example below. I get the load into the Teensy, unplug it and plug it in again (with the associated Windows sound that a USB device has been inserted) to ensure the sketch is running. But when I try to open the Serial Window in the Arduino IDE, I get the error, "no serial port name defined". Interestingly, and probably related, there is no option under "Tools" to choose a COM port. Device Manager shows:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
An "automatic" search fails to locate a driver. When I attempt to install a COM Port driver from existing drivers, there are none listed for Teensy, and none under Arduino for Teensy.
What am I missing?
PS, as a suggestion, I notice no mention of this Noobie error in the Tutorial #3 writeup http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/tutorial3.html. Also, in the Bootloader page, http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/jump_to_bootloader.html perhaps info on the 3.2 could be added? The markings on mine do not match anything listed on these various releases.

The Tutorial #3 code:
Code:
/* Serial Monitor Example, Teensyduino Tutorial #3
[URL]http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/tutorial3.html[/URL]
After uploading this to your board, use Serial Monitor
to view the message. When Serial is selected from the
Tools > USB Type menu, the correct serial port must be
selected from the Tools > Serial Port AFTER Teensy is
running this code. Teensy only becomes a serial device
while this code is running! For non-Serial types,
the Serial port is emulated, so no port needs to be
selected.
This example code is in the public domain.
