> Hi,
> I have an old (ancient)  Kenwood TM-V7A that I've programmed in the past
> with a long-dead WinXP laptop.  The Kenwood had the chronic screen failure
> years ago that I had a weird hair to fix, and did with success! Now I want
> to update the programming. I found a functioning XP laptop and  I've 
> jumped
> through 10k hoops getting my modern Yaesu/ Prolific USB cable to talk to
> WInXP, but I got that to work finally (with a deeply buried legacy
> driver)... now I'm trying to install CHIRP on on the XP laptop so I can
> import my current .csv file and put it on the Kenwood.  I get: "This
> application has failed to start because the application configuration is
> incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem" (it doesn't).
> I think a legacy version (2004'ish?) of CHIRP might be the thing, but I
> don't know where to find it on the CHIRP website.
>
> Conversely, I have the ancient Kenwood MCP_V7 software successfully
> installed on the XP, but it doesn't seem to import anything at all. Not
> sure the point of software that only reads the radio without the ability 
> to
> import data to upload, but whatever.  If anyone knows how to get a .csv
> file into that it would get the job done just as well.
