Re: Baofeng bf-888 English Software & USB Drivers Post by thelad » 27 May 2013, 14:33 just uninstalled mine and tryed to reinstall using the thread drivers and now will not work, getting the 2 dongs when you plug the usb in without the radio plugged in. Getting the yellow warning logo at the side of the usb drivers, tryed updating. It appears that many of the cheap Baofeng USB programming cables use a clone of the Prolific PL-2303 chip that is not supported by the latest Windows driver. This Miklor web page does a good job of explaining the driver problem and giving some helpful advice. BAOFENG USB ProgRAMMING Cable for UV-3R (FIT for Win 7) Build in Frequency counter. He apparently stumbled upon the warning shop usb 409shop usb running a check on the driver CD he had received with his USB programming cable. I just updated my computer to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Now I cannot upload files to my Baofeng UV-82 radio. I tried reinstalling the old driver 3.2.0.0 from both download sites, as recommended on another issue, still won't work.

Hi,
I'm afraid that there is no solution...
There is lot's of people reporting problems with W10 and Prolific devices (based on popular PL2303 adapter).
Myself, I've the same problems with scrolling LED Badges, and USB to COM dongles. All this devices use a PL2303 to provide a connection to an USB port, but inside, they are RS232-like interface build (and appear as a COM port in your operating system). When you plug the device into USB, it is well recognized by W10 and it try to load the Prolific driver. This work fine, but looking at the configuration panel, you will then notice that there is an error code 10 and the driver is not working properly.

Of course, you can try to manually update the driver at Prolific site:
But, look carefully on this page and you will read an important notice in RED :

Realtek Audio Driver Windows 10
Windows 8/8.1/10 are NOT supported in PL-2303HXA and PL-2303XEOL (End Of Life) chip versions.
This is clear: if your device is using an old chip version of PL2303, the drivers not works with W10 (and W8).
Driver Windows Xp
As many people, you probably upgrade directly from W7 to W10, and sure, don't know that this problem was already present with W8. It's a shame from Prolific to not support this devices, because they are still used (my LED badges are less than a year old, and use EOL PL-2303 HX). Prolific's guys are fun when they said : 'Prolific recommends to use PL-2303HXD (HX Rev D) or PL2303TA chip.' . Hey, but I can't do that myself !!!
Bluetooth Driver Windows 10
I don't want to send my devices to trash because they are too old (less than a year !) to be supported by W10.
May be, a solution will be to use the old W7 drivers version into W10. Not tested... I will try...
