Skip,
First
off, RELAX, and remember it’s only a toy. Sometimes a shot of Jack or Jim might
help.
Loading CHIRP 4.0 would not impact Prolific Software.
If
the drivers no longer work, it may be that you plugged the cable into a
different port on the front of your PC.
Windows does you the Favor of
updating your drivers to the newest wrong version.
You can verify if you have
the proper driver y using the procedure found at http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

Chirp
Users,
All I want
to do is program my little radio (UV-5R). I installed the Prolific software a
few weeks ago and downloaded CHIRP and began programming. I have read over and
over information in the Miklor web site. I was able to put a couple of
frequencies in CHIRP. I downloaded them to the radio but the radio didn’t work
as I probably had the Tone or Offset not right. I spent a lot hours trying to
learn how and gave up. I then went to the manual programming directions
and I can’t program fast enough as the radio times out. (I have a neurology
problem that causes shaking, especially when frustrated.) Next I get an email
that announces a CHIRP update to 4.0. I install it and try to program again. Now
Prolific won’t install. I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer. I live in a rural
area with no Elmer’s. I guess I’m having problems due to my age or stupidity. I
am willing to call someone who may walk me through the whole process. As you can
tell I’m behind the curve on computers as
well.
