It looks like Microsoft still has the VC 2008 redistributable package available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29

If sure if you searched a little more (than me) you can find the SP1 (service pack 1) package

I found this link

https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5781

That is the same issue I am having, but the problem I am having is that download to fix the issue is no longer available. Any suggestions aside from buying a new computer/ newer OS?

Thanks
