I've got a laptop with window millennium I use for op com have never been able to get it to run on anything else.

i cant even get that far as i cant find where to download the driver to try

I think the newer s/w uses the ftdi driver and might reflash the usb hardware.

1. If buying a Chinese OP-Com, make sure it is a version which will operate on your version of Windows.  

 

2. Make sure you user the software disc included with the OP-Com you purchased.

 

3. Install software using "Administrator rights"

 

4. Do not upgrade software from the original Hungarian developer.  They will more than likely disable your Chinese Op-Com.  They have a warning they will do this.  This happened to my first unit.

 

5. There are people on the Net who can repair your damaged unit and help install the software.  I have not used their services.  You will pay for their help.

I was given the opcom unit by the previous owner but with no cd so downloaded the software via the opcom site. This is still as far as i have been able to get

If your OP-Com is a Chinese copy, I think you will find your OP-Com unit has been disabled by that software you downloaded.

I very much doubt it. The Op-Com software would need to be able to talk to the Op-Com interface in the first place, if there was any chance of it fcuking with the interface. And to do that, it'll need the drivers installed.

 

Drivers for the OP-Com interfaces are theoretically device dependent (although at worst they'll be near identical on these knock-off's). Post a pic of your interface up here and maybe somebody with the same can point you in the direction of their drivers/software.

I had a problem with mine so got in contact with the supplier see below for the result. Hi, I got the OP-COM but it wont work. I had a computer guy check it out and there is no file on the cd to download to the laptop to communicate with the interface box, as the laptop devise manager is not recognising the USB connection. There is a red power light on but the TX light wont flash when testing on the settings test for connection on the OP-COM screen, and the interface box plug is not connecting correctly to the interface box. When you look on You tube to see the programing to the laptop it also advises to activate the interface and there is no file in the cd to do this action. Could you please send me another complete OP-COM to try and I will return the 1st one once I get it working or you can advise what other solutions you are prepared to take to resolve this. 1st response below. Sorry for inconvenience caused Would you please download the manual and software by below link: http://www.kc-kwan.com/supports/OP-COM 081016 user manual.docx http://www.kc-kwan.c...river/OPCOM.zip Would you please follow below step: To open Device Manager by using the Windows interface 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. Click Hardware and Sound. 3. Click Device Manager 4. connect to OPCOM by cable 5. click the " drivers " from the software folder Please contact us if it still not working What my guy did to fix. I downloaded the OP-COM as advised and still no better as it could not find the interface. My computer guy found the problem with your cd and the KR-KWAN download as missing a file. He went on the WINRAR solutions website and downloaded WRAR521EXE to the driver and now it all works brilliant

Your doubt won't change anything and won't save your clone Op-Com either.  I have personal experience with one dead clone.  

 

Read this.   http://www.op-com.hu/NoThanks_EN.aspx

 

And this, as an example.  Not my experience, but somebody else.

I have had success with another clone OP-Com using the supplied software with the appropriate Windows version.

its only £768.00 for the official supported device , from the UK distributor
