This mac guy needs help with CHIRP working on old WinXP

Recommended Posts

I have been using CHIRP on my Mac and loving it...  But I want to use the Wouxun USB Programming Cable (PCO-001) with software for the 905G but can not load all the drivers in my WinXP as I get a Error Opening Serial Port.  

 

So anyone can walk me through how to fix this on a WinXP and this driver issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

Jack

 

P.S. If you PM me with your email address will send screen shots of all that I did and info.

Thanks n4gix, I did forget about that... it has been over 10 years since I left PC products.  

 

What I found was after installing the software, I needed to launch software and go to setting and select any number of USB comm ports one at time to see if it worked.  It was so simple... I suggested to BTWR to add some simple instructions so as not to frustrate users... 

 

I will keep your answer as I will need it in the future.

I open "Device Manager" and look at what COM port(s) are assigned to which program:
