If it's 64 bit Vista then you don't have a driver that will work. I emailed ICOM USA about it but they said they had no requests for a 64 bit driver and none were in the works.
Of course I'd bet Japan is working on it.
My IC-92AD works perfectly with the RS-92 software and serial cable connected to a serial/usb comverter under Vista 64bit.
My IC-F60 doesn't work with it's USB cable (OPC-966U) plugged into the Vista 64bit laptop no matter what you do. Someone said to disable driver signing, but that didn't help either! And I found no 3rd party aftermarket drivers that would work either.
I wonder if the serial cable would work?
I have VMWare virtual workstation on my laptop and with it loaded with XP Professional the F-60 programming works perfectly.
