Thank you, I think so. On the lower right task bar, I get "new hardware found" it goes through a number of steps and then your "hardware is ready to use". On Device Manager under Other Devices I have
"CP2101 USB to UART Bridge Controller". This disappears when I turn off the Receiver.
If I may, I would like to give an update.
The Icom software says "it doesn't work on XP64.....guess what I have?
I had an old XP 32 and loaded it, (that was a job). It runs fine, but the radio does not work at all. In fact the above reply is based on the XP32 software. When I try and turn on the PCR software pwr button I get a "Com Port Error" then "Communication failed cannot connect to receiver." When I go to Port Setting on the Icom start up there is nothing there in any of the drop down menus.
It seems as if my Icom software v 1.01 did not load the drivers.
In addition on the Microsoft side I have the following issue(s)
My USB and Human drivers are up to date via Driver Easy, however there is one catch on the 64 side I have Under System Devices I have three 82801G labeled 27D0, 27D2, and 27DA
On the 32 side in the same area I only have two 27D0 and 27D2, However another device an N10/ICH7 Family Bus Controller appears with the suffix 27DA. There is no driver available for this device. I have contacted a Win 32 XP forum asking for help, no one has responded. Several other people have asked about this same device.
For what it's worth the computer is a Dell Optiplx G520 recently refurbed.
Needless to say Dell is less than enthusiastic, as is Microsoft. Icom at least was sympathetic.
What do you think of removing the XP32 and adding Win 7 Home 32?
I'm beginning to think of applying a philosophy of a USMC buddy of years back. "There are few situations that cannot be solved with an sufficient application of high explosive".
Thanks for listening. This is brought to you via XP 32
