<p>I've got mine working under Windows 7. You must use the drivers from 409Shop.com.</p>

<br>
here is some additional information for the programming cable guide.<br>
<br>
For the Baofeng UV-3R is a USB cable available with a prolific chip.<br>
Unfortunately the latest driver from prolific does not work with this cable.<br>
You have to use a weird old driver used for GPS equipment in the past (PL2303_Prolific_GPS_AllInOne_1013.exe).<br>
It does not work with Mac OS X, don't know about Linux.<br>
<br>
for this reason I replaced the interface with a SparkFun FTDI Breakout board (<a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716" target="_blank">http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716</a>).<br>
This one works like a charm. Furthermore I also can program my BF-U3 using Windows 7. The old cable could only be used with Windows XP.<br>
<br>
I removed the cable from the prolific board and soldered it to pin headers which fit in the header connecter of the SparkFun board. For what its worth: black to ground, green to tx, red to rx.<br>
<br>
kindly,<br>
Gerrit.<br>
