Hi Wouter,
Interesting. If it doesn't need a driver, and it does show in Device Manage=
r as the correct items, perhaps the PICkit2 application software is confuse=
d by the 36 other items listed as HID-compliant devices(whatever they may b=
e) as opposed to Win7 only showing the entries associated with PICkit2.
I suppose nobody uses the PICkit2 anymore, otherwise I would expect more pe=
ople would be having the same problem as me. Since I don't do any new devel=
opment with PICs, I'm not going to go out and buy a new programmer.
Thanks for the reply!
Best regards, Bob

Not been there, but my pcikit2 (might be a Chinses clone) works like a
charm on W 10.

It shows as a "HID-compliant vendor-defined device". IIRC a HID device
on W doesn't need a driver.
