Open Device Manager Remove Old Com ports and USB devices: Proceed to step 2 of this tutorial. When that is done, still in Device manager, navigate to your problem USB cable (it should have a yellow exclamation mark on it) Remove it, and then reinstall the driver If that driver will still not work then: Right click on it, and choose update driver. Click Browse my Computer... Click Let me pick from a list... A list of all of the drivers should show. Choose the oldest Prolific driver on the list. I chose version 3.2.0 from 2007 Install it, and you're done! If you are using PuTTy, note that when you connect, the COM port may not work as expected. What you should do, if you need to, is go into the Serial options in the main PuTTy window, and turn off flow control.
Everything should work right now.

Following directions, I unplugged the usb cable, ran the install then plugged the cable back in. Windows did not even see that a new device has been introduced. I had to shave off a little of the connector that plugs into the radio or it would only go in half way. I am sure it is seated fully now....
Help!

Is this model supported by Chirp or can I select a different model? Windows 7 finally saw the usb connection and it is now listed as an unknown device?
Thanks for the great work!

From the Supported Radios list on the CHIRP home page...
Baofeng/Pofung BF-F8HP (in daily builds)
If you have a programming cable with a Prolific type chip, be sure to downgrade your installed driver to v3.2.0.0.
