Hi Joe,
Check your driver version. Windows 7 is quite adept at keeping drivers updated, whether you want it to or not. It may have a driver that is incompatible with the chip in your cable. You may have to “downgrade” to the older driver.

Thanks for the ad. Have been a CHIRP user (and donar) for a while now and no issues.
Then had my desktop computer die and replaced it with a Win7 64 bit unit. Installed CHIRP and I thought everything went fine but when I tried to upload the new frequency list to the radio (a UV-5RA thats about a year old) it keeps telling me that "an error has occured. Radio did not respond"
I have used this same cable and radio in the past with CHIRP with no issues so am guessing that its the computer or OS. Have tried both 0.4.1 and "chirp daily-20150218" found on the BaoFeng site, both with the same results.
Ideas? Am volunteering in a ham event tonight and would love to have the radio as a backup for my older Kenwood "just in case"....
Thx,
