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.
Unication PPS problem

Check drivers? I don't think there are any for PPS.
I wouldn't worry about a program uninstaller, if you are reinstalling, new values and files are written, no net gain or loss. As a former IT pro, I have found uninstallers and registry cleaners do more harm than good. Just use the utility that comes with Windows.
Dell puts there own software on the system, some of that could be conflicting or blocking what you want to do. You could start uninstalling anything with Dell in the name. I usually do that as soon as I get a new Dell, been buying Dell computers since the 90's.
When you get the error in PPS there will be a corresponding error, probably cryptic, especially if you are a Mac user, in the event viewer - system log. Probably the best way to find it is by time, trigger the error in PPS and note the time, then head over to event viewer. See what you can find, it will be listed as an error or warning, so don't let the other entries, there will be many, get in the way.
Please post what you find. Here is a screenshot, I double clicked the warning and the DNS event is displayed.

Actually I remember this ERROR showing when I got the newest PPS after I first got my Pager. When it noticed my old PPS .. it gave me a NEW name NO 1 tab something like CookCounty_1 It added 2 integers and a "__" more than the space was designed for and wouldn't SAVE after that. I shortened the name of the Profile in No 1 to CookCounty. It worked. I have Starcom21 now for a name. The new PPS created a new name that was too long or had some verboten character.

Thanks everybody for you help
Thanks everybody for you help
Whatever it was, take the win and move on! Apparently PPS doesn't speak French.
Interesting, maybe a code page problem. Glad it's working.

If you still have it available, try using the version of the PPS that you used to program the pager. When installing a new version of the PPS, your programming files have to be updated to match.
I see you got it working. Good news!
