Re: Problem With Baofeng UV-82
This is almost certainly a driver problem with the USB-serial converter chip in your programming cable - most of the "Prolific" cables out there are clones which aren't supported by the official drivers.
Have a Google, there are older drivers available which should work, as they don't check if the chip is genuine

Re: Problem With Baofeng UV-82
As above, you have a Chinese knock off and Windows is installing the latest drivers that won't work with fake chips.
Uninstall the driver and search for driver version 3.2.0.0, it's old, but the only one that will work with the fakes.
Use the same USB slot every time, if you plug it in another one then Windows will again install the latest driver that won't work with your chip.

Re: Problem With Baofeng UV-82
The Windows flavour is irrelevant, you need to use a 32bit system to use the 3.2.0.0 driver, or run a virtual machine session.

My clone cables work fine in Windows 10 64bit. You just need the old driver from here http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

Re: Problem With Baofeng UV-82
Well I Reinstalled My Laptop To Factory Settings Witch Has Windows 8 On It
And The USB Lead Is Working Perfect
I Think That I May Have Plugged Inthe USB Before I Installed The Drivers When It Was Win 10
Thats The Only Reason I Can Think Of ???

Windows Update off (not security updates only for drivers).
Otherwise takes Windows again the newer (false) driver.
Interfaces replicas only work with Prolific driver to version 3.2.0.0
