CPS and Windows 10

[awdauto]

Hey everyone!

I'm attempting to program an HT1250LS+ with CPS on Windows 10 64 bit. I continue to get an error stating "Can not create unknown radio component". I'm running CPS R06.12.02 with a USB Prolific programming cable. I've rolled the driver back to 3.2.0.0, no joy. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling CPS. Nothing. Tried compatibility with Win 7, Win 8, Win XP SP3, nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try a 32 bit machine.

Is there a way to emulate it?

I've never heard of emulating 32 bit on a 64 bit OS based machine. Since 32 bit machines are pretty common and can be picked up on the cheap even from a used computer shop you might go that route instead.

You’ll need version R06.12.05 to run on a 64 bit machine or under Win10.

There were extensive discussion here a couple of years back about this. Easily found with the Search feature.

I still get that error with R06.12.05 on my last two issued laptops (running Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 10 64 bit respectively). My solution for the Windows 7 machine was to utilize the XP Mode VM which worked without an issue and allowed me to continue supporting Astro's, Pro's, 1225's and MTR2000s.

The only way I run the older stuff is a VMware running XP, you will never ran into problems like that. I had the same bright idea until I hit one of my radios with R06.12.05 and then it required an entitlement key to program 25kHz bandwidth channels and that's a problem for ham radio. So I rolled back and cracked out the XP and shared some COM ports and never looked back.
