I have a Baofeng UV-5RA transceiver (firmware BFB297) and I purchased the programming cable and cd.  I have Windows 8 and the cd  will not work with windows 8.  Can anyone help me so I can start using this transceiver?  As all owners of this transceiver know the user's manual is useless and nearly all the emails I've read had to do with the UV-5R which doesn't help at all since I have the 5RA.

 

Thank you,

 

Don, KB3ZUF

Jim- kc9hi knew the fix. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package needed to be loaded. Some XP versions don't have it. Once it was installed, I launched CHIRP again and it worked fine.

Tnx. That was nice but got it going. Jim- kc9hi knew the fix. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package needed to be loaded. Some XP versions don't have it. Once it was installed, I launched CHIRP again and it worked fine.

I would have to see the file. Since I am in the business of computers, give a call and we can do a remote session so I can see what is going on. Email me directly off list and we can set a time.

still no luck,,,

Help. LOL.
I can't load the Chirp programming software on my windows XP computer. Keep getting an error "application configuration is incorrect" reinstall may correct......
Anyone know what may be outdated on my computer? Some info on web say it may be an outdated DLL file?
I am running windows XP but all up to date.
