<DIV>Jim,</DIV>
<DIV>Can you point me to a location of a prolific driver that does not do the
security check and works with windows 7? I got a Puxing 777 radio and
programming cable from the 409shop in HKG. I can get the cable and
provided driver to work with windows XP, but can not get it to work for windows
7. I am sure the cable is not authintic prolific.....</DIV>

Do not update.

<DIV>Unless your programming cable has a genuine Prolific usb-to-serial chip in
it (most cheap cables have a counterfeit chip), the updated driver will detect
the counterfeit chip and stop working. You must continue to use the older driver
that does not perform this check.</DIV>
