Came with a driver CD, but their are no ICOM drivers on it, windows says it cannot find a driver for it, have tried Windows 10 and XP.

The radio is not detetcted on any of the COM ports in the programming software.

Any help with a driver or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Bought the same cable, didn't use the CD, Windows 10 found a driver automatically.

Couple of suggestions, try a driver update and or a Google search for Prolific chip drivers.

Programming cables have a chipset that often need drivers. FTDI and Prolific drivers for your OS can be found on their respective sites.
Later Win 10 updates and Win 11 comes with both drivers.
Plugging in the cable, device manager should show the USB is connected or you may have a bad cable.
It is the cable, not the radio that uses the drivers.
Note the com port as that is the port you select in the radio software if it doesn't autodetect.
Connect the radio, and should be good to go.
