I use Windows 7 64 bit eddition and have had nothing but grief until now...

I was never successful in getting the Prolific cable to work at all.

I then tried the Radio Shack cable. I found that I could connect but disconnected in about 30 seconds. Unfortionately I experience my first disconnect when I was updating the firmware. I did manage to complete the firmware update after about 2 hours of trying.

Adjusting the power options didn't correct the issue for me.

I never tried XP mode though.

After reading import36's recommendation I decided to purchase the one he linked in in the post above. I have not had a single disconnect in several hours of use. It's worked flawlessly in both firmware updates and data logging.

Thanks import36!

Also thanks to Yandyr and the others that contributed to this post. I was beginning to lose hope until I read this tread.
