Well Sir, I most certainly appreciate you trying to help me here. I see there is an attached file to your email. Well, if I click on that, I get a blank page, that’s it. So, not sure what you might have been trying to display there. As for the rest of your instructions to load Chirp, same thing. I get to a point where, I click on the highlighted section of “windows installer exe. then, the next screen has the smaller box that asks if I want to install it. I do and, click install. And, as usual, the green graph goes across the top of that text box and when the graph is complete, the only thing I can click on is “close”. When I click close, THAT’S IT. There is no other screens that pop up for further instructions, no direction to anyplace, etc. Chirp is still not loaded. Thanks again, I’ll keep trying. Scott

Here is the link to download the latest CHIRP. https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20190206-ins...
Paste that into your browser, and then press ENTER.
Hopefully your browser will ask you what to do with the file chirp-daily-20190206-installer.exe -- the answer is you want to SAVE AS. I put my download files in a folder called "Downloads".
Note: CHIRP runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Older versions of Windows are not supported
When it is finished saving, using Windows Explorer (the file explorer) go to Downloads, and find chirp-daily-20190206-installer.exe. Select it with the mouse arrow, then use the right mouse button and click the button and there will be a menu, you want to use "Open As Administrator". Open or Run is the same meaning so if it says "Run As Administrator" that's OK - I just cannot remember which it says. Click Open (or Run) as administrator with the left mouse button.
Follow the prompts and install CHIRP.
Here is the page on problems with Drivers under Windows - if you have the cable sold by your radio maker's company, you won't have a problem but "cheap" cables often are counterfeit. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
This page will help you find which COM port your cable is hooked up to: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/FAQ Under Windows you need to use Device Manager. How to is on this page.
Hope this helps.
