I'm having trouble installing my new Programming Cable drivers . I have followed the directions to the letter....and uninstalled as directed to start over...nothing seems to work. The itm is the 20-047 USB able Full-Speed USB.Scanner Programming Cable.

Has anyone experienced similar problem and if so, would you mind sharing the fix?

I am trying to install to a Compaq laptop running Windows XP SP2

Make sure you have the cable plugged into the computer, then try to install the drivers.

Yeah...the cable is plugged in, computer recognizes the device, but all attempts install the driver fails.

thanks for the link...It was a good read. He had identical issues, however interestingly he got his to work for no apparent reason. We shall see if I get so lucky....4 hours on this is more than I can take for one day...I'm calling it a day.
Best Regards,
