<DIV>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..... </DIV>

<DIV>Sarge,<BR></DIV>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?<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR></DIV>If you have previously
installed the V3.2.0.0 driver, you can go into Device Manager and start at step
7 of the <A href="http://miklor.com">miklor.com</A> 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.<BR><BR>Here's the URL again... <A

<DIV dir=ltr>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.<BR></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,sans-serif">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 <A
href="http://miklor.com" target=_blank>miklor.com</A> site for windows and
mac. <A href="http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php"
target=_blank>http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php</A></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,sans-serif">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.</DIV>

<DIV>New Troop here. I am very glad there is a Chirp.<BR></DIV>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.<BR></DIV> Any advice much
appreciated!<BR></DIV> Thanks in advance,<SPAN><FONT
