[Elecraft] Problems with HRD, Windows 7 and the old Serial converter cable using the PROLIFIC chip set

[Michael Dillon]

I was using Ham Radio Deluxe with the older KUSB cable running XP. 
Everything worked fine for several years. My old PC died and I bought a 
new laptop with the 64 bit I3 processor running Windows 7 Home Addition 
Premium. I loaded HRD and also updated the Prolific Drivers from their 
web site. HRD will run for a short time then freezes up with what 
appears to be a USB port error. So far the only way out is to be a 
restart. I can run the K3 Utility and have downloaded the latest updates 
with no problem. Anyone have a suggestion for a fix to my HRD problem?
