Tiva C -- LaunchPad Evaluation Kit and Suggested Labs -- Recognition Problem.

I'm just starting out with my LaunchPad and am trying to go through Lab 1  (here: http://software-dl.ti.com/trainingTTO/trainingTTO_public_sw/TI_RTOS_Workshop/TI_RTOS_Kernel_Workshop_Student_Guide_rev2.10.pdf)

 I followed the steps to install CCS6 (here: http://software-dl.ti.com/trainingTTO/trainingTTO_public_sw/TI_RTOS_Workshop/TI_RTOS_Workshop_Installation_Guide_rev2.10.pdf)

In step 8 I keep getting the error "cannot connect to target".  The computer is hooked up to the LaunchPad in debug mode.  I've re-installed CCS6 in case there was a problem having my anti-virus enabled during installation. 

Step 9 in the lab asks you to load the blink_led file and because the board is not recognized I cannot load that file.

One thing to note: During the installation of TI-RTOS i installed it from the APP Store instead of downloading it like the instructions say.  I did this because my instructor said to do it this way.  

I am running on windows 8.1.  

Does anyone know what I have done wrong?  

Thanks
