• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I have never used Windows Vista, but for XP you can click on "My Computer" then right click on your CD drive where you have the installation disk and click "Explore". That shows you the files on the CD, then you can click on the "Setup.exe" file to start the installation. Don't know if Vista is similar but you can try. Good luck.

Is the software installed?

Which files is it trying to open as picture files?

Do you have KPG95D? If so, which version?

Just out of curiosity; if you right hand click and select the properties does the target look like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kenwood Fpu\KPG95D\kpg95d.exe"? And does the target type read application? If not then I would completely uninstall it and reinstall.

If this is a Kenwood CD it should auto-run. If it doesn't then do the right-hand click/ explore and check the program. There should be five folders marked disk 1 to disk 5. open disk 1 and there will be setup.exe available. If you don't have that as a .exe or it is not a factory cd then you may need to get a replacement cd.
