Everything works until the final
step. I get the message Windows could not find drivers for
your device. Needless to say, I unzipped the file with the
. cab. inf. and. cat files into a directory and pointed to
it as the source for the driver.
Any further guidance or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. The QX3 is a useful little device even after
all these years, and I d love to be able to use it.

The QX5 should run fine on Windows 7 64-bit. Try unistalling the software and dowload the latest 64-bit version from here:
Make sure to install the software before plugging in the QX5.
