Well gents,
That fixed it! I had tried com 3 and com 1 before and no luck.
Then installed the new (old) driver that Robert and Jim mentioned and again no luck. Rebooted the computer and it works great now!
Thanks much for the help!

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,

This is a common problem, and likely to be yours too, is that the driver automatically installed by Windows is (intentionally) incompatible with the (unauthorized copy of a) Proliifc USB-to-Serial chip in the programming cable. This solution is to install an older driver that is compatible with the chip.
