The solution (for me) was to install the drivers that came with my cable -- although I certain that the <a href="http://miklor.com/" target="_parent">Miklor</a> drivers recommended on this list will work as well (or better).</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">Then you need to convince Windows to roll back the drivers (at least on my system it would instantly upgrade the driver as soon as I plugged in the cable). With the proper drivers, and Windows “help” disabled, all should be well.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">Did you burn yourself on the live antenna connector?
