OK, I am not ready to believe the CI-V port on my 706MkIIG is bad.  It used 
to work and now it doesn't.  Windows 7 Home - USB to CI-V (was prolific) - 
706MkIIG.

I was installing other programs - do not know exactly when this not-working 
CI-V thing started.  I am looking for some way to prove whether the CI-V is 
bad or not.

The other option is the USB driver for the CI-V or the USB to CI-V "cable" 
itself.

I bought 2 new cables from different places (one was FTDI and the other 
Prolific) and they went and found new drivers (Windows 7) and now I cannot 
get any other drivers to load manually.  So I do know the original driver 
that was working has unfortunately been replaced,.

How can I isolate this problem to the bad component?  I don't mind paying 
for what I need but do not want to pay for a lot of stuff I don't need (more 
new CI-V cables, repair for 706, when it is really the driver).

Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP
