I don't have or use a Mac.

It sounds to me like you don't have a properly installed driver for
the chip in your programming cable. Yours most likely has a
unauthorized copy of a Prolific chip.

One solution would be to replace that programming cable with one that
has the FTDI chip.

Others have recommended purchasing this 3rd party driver for
programming cables based on the Prolific type chip copies.
