I kinda gave up on this until I realized I have an old Acer mini laptop
XP. I downloaded to the Acer from Miklor the XP driver for the Prolific
USB cable and it works just fine. No more automatic downloading of what
Windows 8.1 thinks I need.....

Sarge,
Have you actually gone into Device Manager when the programming cable is
plugged in and confirmed that the older and compatible V3.2.0.0 driver is
still installed?
Having CHIRP work for a while and then not work later and at the same time
seeing the radio goes into TX mode with the programming plugged tells me
that Windows has automatically updated the driver to the latest and
greatest (but also incompatible) driver. This can happen with Windows
Vista, 7 and 8.
If you have previously installed the V3.2.0.0 driver, you can go into
Device Manager and start at step 7 of the miklor.com guide to re-select
this driver as shown in the remaining steps. If you don't see the V3.2.0.0
driver listed when you get to step 11, then you need to go back to step 1
and start over.

I have complied with all of your good tips. I guess this radio just dont
like Thursday. I have noticed that the red light comes on but goes out
before Chirp can work. Then I get the error message about the radio.

Sarge,
Most communications issues between the radio and computer is the USB cord
drivers. If you have the FTDI chip branded cord it should be a plug and
play, as windows installs the drivers and most time it installs a correct
driver for that. Now if you are using a off brand or most times counterfeit
prolific chipped cord, with that I reccommend to reinstall the prolific
3.2.0.0 driver. Here is detailed instructions from the great site miklor.com
site for windows and mac. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
Also it is recommended once you have the correct driver installed, is to
use the same usb port each time. The driver will not follow the cord if you
bounce around usb ports. Hope this helps. let me know your results.

New Troop here. I am very glad there is a Chirp.
This UV5R is driving me up the walls. It took me awhile to get it
programming with but then started working good. Then later it refused to
program as it was working. I think it had something to do with shutting
down my pc. Worked hard with many different trys and finally got
programming working again seeminglt by deleting then reinstalling Chirp.
Now programming has stopped working again. Says radio will not respond.
So,deleted Chirp and reinstalled. That didnt work this time.
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
