Having a number of different systems we have had much success with the PROLIFIC 3.2.0.0 driver.You can get it at the following site at no charge: https://strykerradios.com/software/Win_Driver_Prolific_3.2.0.0.exe
How to install the Prolific Driver for MS WINDOWS SYSTEMS
Do not plug the programming cable yet.
- Load the Prolific driver onto a folder on your computer. The driver that seems to work without complications is version 3.2.0.0.
- Launch the driver so it installs in your system by double-clicking the icon. This will take a few minutes.
- While the driver is loading and doing its thing, pick a USB port for your programming cable and note that. A little piece of colored tape next to that port will serve as a reminder. Your programming cable needs to be put in the same USB port every time, or else the COM port selection may not work.
Do not go any further until the driver is done loading.
- Once the driver has loaded, insert the programming cable – do not connect to the radio yet.
- Allow your computer to configure the driver to the cable. This takes a few minutes.
Once the computer has finished this process, you will probably see a notice on the bottom right corner that it is done.
- Go to the Control panel, and in the System section, locate and open your DEVICE MANAGER.
- Look for PORTS COM & LPT and CLICK it open.
- Click PROLIFIC USB TO SERIAL COMM PORT (COM X)
