I've found that you have to run it as administrator to work. It will not show menus until it can access the serial i/o. 73, Alan - W6ARH P.S. It doesn't work at all with my Yeasu radios under 32 bit Win 7. It does work on the same computer with the live CD.

The program failing to start has noting to do with the cable or the radio.
It has to do with the fact that Chirp requires SP3 and Windows XP is not something that upgrades easily to SP3 from SP1 or SP2. If you don't believe me, read the hundreds of horror stories all over the web. If it was just me that would be one thing. In the case of my laptop, Chirp would not start at all, so I know it hasn't checked what radio, drivers or cable is connected.
