Seems like the port you've selected "COM1" doesn't exist. Is there any port listed under Tools->Serial Port in the IDE? If there is one, then try using that.

If that doesn't work then, can you view if the arduino board has enumerated as a COM port? You can do this by visiting device manager (Windows) and looking under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section.

You haven't mentioned which board you are using, but most of the earlier Arduino's used a FTDI chip to handle USB communication and if that's the case you should try installing the latest FTDI drivers.

Here's a link

I believe the problem is with your computer, not the Arduino board.
What version of Windows are you using?
I am using 1.6.3 on Windows7. The "Port" is not greyed out when I open the ide without a board connected. There are two options listed in the drop down list when I select "Port".

Disconnect the board and open up "Device Manager" on your computer.
Scroll down to "Ports (COM & LPT)" and click on the arrow.
What ports are listed?
Do any of the listed ports have a yellow ! icon?

Below is a screen print of ide without a board connected and Device Manager showing ports on my computer. Note the yellow ! icon in Network adapters.
