I tried all these steps and unfortunately, it still doesn't work. The program and the radio just can't seem to find each other. I went through all 256 comm port possibilities and none of them would respond to the radio.
I'll just have to run it from the control head.

I have been running Windows 7 on my laptop with the ID1 software installed with no issues. Here are a few things to do.
1) Make sure you are the machine administrator - this can be done by clicking on the start button then right clicking on Computer and selecting manage. Click on the chevron to the left of Local Users and Groups to expand the folder and select groups. In the right pane double click the Administrators group and verify that you see the account you are using is in this group. If not then log into the computer using an account that is a member of the administrators group.
2) Don't install the software until you have actually plugged the radio into the computer. I know this is backwards but believe me it works.
3) When you do run the setup, right click on the setup icon and click run as an administrator from the choices.
4) The USB to serial drivers on the ID1 disk will work if you follow the above.
If I can provide any more information, please don't hesitate to ask

Subject: [D-STAR_23cm] ID-1 and Windows 7
Hi all:
I recently had to buy a new computer for my shack due to the failure of a Windows XP machine. I have been running my ID-1 through the computer because operation is so much easier in D-Star mode than using the control face. The new computer is a Windows 7 machine and I have been unable to get the Icom ID-1 software to work with it. Has anyone on the reflector also experienced this? The program comes up on the computer, but no matter what port number I try, and I tried all 256 of them, the radio simply will not respond. I'm guessing that Icom will have to come up with a new disc for W7.
I have sent an email to the Icom Technical Support people and am awaiting a reply.
73, Don
