Thanks

Using what software? That's really the crux of the question 73 Mike

I ran the Icom software for the PCR-100 on Vista Home Premium with no problems.

I had to get the RS 232-USB cable from Radio Shack... Something went terribly wrong with the cables driver & my Vista.... Now the pcr100 sits collecting dust...

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. The PCR-100 normally works with an RS232 serial cable. It does not require any drivers.

well, the original cable that came with the PCR-100 wouldnt plug into my new system so I had to get a new cable for my USB port & that cable had a driver CD which caused big problems with my vista...

Ok, I see what you're saying. Were the drivers you installed Vista compatible? Have you tried un-installing them, and reinstalling them? What exactly went wrong? Do you see any com ports in your Vista Device Manager?
