Leonard, Here's a link to the driver that should resolve the issue. Be sure to read the FAQ at the bottom. It will explain the most common issues that can arise. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
Also, here's a snippet from the Miklor CHIRP page Re: Win8 http://www.miklor.com/HT/HT-CHIRP.php A new Windows 8 feature is "SmartScreen" which may block CHIRP from loading. If this occurs, SmartScreen can be disabled by: Opening "Windows Action Center" and "Change Windows SmartScreen" settings.
Hope this helps...
