Please read and understand the question before you reply.

He stated that he was using a MacBook Pro so old drivers and Microsoft policies are irrelevent.

The Chirp website has complete instructions how to download and install it.  Then the problem comes in getting Windows to not overwrite it with a new version each time it updates.  You can go into Device Manager, while the programming cable is plugged in and find the device in the list.  Then open the device information and check the box telling it NOT to automatically update the driver.  This will prevent your having to go through this process each time Microsoft comes out with a new version of your operating system.  Chris, N1CAK
