Did Vista have a compatibility mode? I don't remember because when
I got out of the IT profession XP SP3 was the dominant operating system
for desktop workstations. I never messed with Vista the next OS I had
the guts to try was Win 7 which isn't too bad except for these usb to serial
cables and the way Win 7 always wants to download the latest WHQL 
certified drivers that don't always work. So if Vista has compatibility mode
try running Chirp in XP SP3 mode. If not then I don't know what else
you can do.

Hi I am having trouble with Chirp. I have chirp running a windows XP home desk top and it works great. I have it running on windows 7 Laptop and it works great.
My son windows Vista Laptop and we are having trouble openning a file or saving it.
When I have a file download from the UV5R I can enter anything that I want to. but I can not save that file. When I click "save as" it does nothing at all. If I close the program it opens a little window open and asks if I want to save, delete or cancel, I select save and nothing happens.
I can also click open from the file drop down and nothing opens or happens.
I think this Vista machine is the problem, what do you think
 Thanks Dave Barber
