   By "beep" I assume you mean the sound that windows makes when you plug in or reset maple? This is the beep youre looking for! This is the sound windows makes when it is prompting you for a driver. Windows should indicate at the bottom right corner of your screen (near the clock) that a new device "Maple R3" or "Maple VCOM" has been plugged in but is "not installed." Click on this indicator message and you should be whisked to the driver installation menu. Then follow the instruction on our quickstart page - http://leaflabs.com/docs/maple/quickstart/

   I sat in the control panels device manager and right clicked maple when I hit reset and tryed pointing it to the maple r3 pointing it to the dfu drivers.
   Then when restarting the computer it threw some complaints dealing with un certified drivers then updated some stuff when I shut off.
   I have not tried it again yet but got it working in linux.
   The serial usb I tried loading the driver that is with the maple but it uses the driver that is allready there.
   so dfu is the only one it doen't have & wont load the device goes away with the setting going away.

   Glad to hear you got it working under Linux!

   Yes, there are some problems we're aware of with Windows 7, which is why we don't officially support it. However, some other users on the forums have apparently gotten it working. You might want to read the following and see if it works for you, too:

   I have also some weird problem, sometime, after an upload, I can't have access to the board... no usb serial comm, even the com port is now showed. and unplug and plus the usb do not work at all. but, by pressing to the upload button and after, the reset button on the board, that manage to debug it, sometime, that don't work on the first try, but, that work after a few try. and this OK for a round or two. the price to pay for working on win7 x64 I presume!!!

   I've had the occasional problem with Maple IDE and Windows 7. My initial issue was I was new to how Maple works. But now I only sometimes have problems with it, and normally just with the auto-reset. Although I hear that problem might be solved now.

   The autoreset used to be very flaky, now its just imperfect. Sometimes your sketch can disable this feature, forcing you to physically reset the board during programming or use the permanent-bootloader mode (reset, BUT hold, wait, BUT let go). The reason is that auto-reset requires that the USB port is alive and functional. Some ways that the USB port might stop being so are:

   1) youve hard faulted with a segfault or stack overflow - (this is fixed in 0.0.7)
   2) youve called SerialUSB.end() somewhere and never called SerialUSB.begin() to turn it back on
   3) youre servicing a higher priority interrupt so often that the USB interrupt is not getting serviced
