Look in device manager to see what type of USB-to-TTL chip is in your
programming cable. If it is a Prolific type chip, then look to see
what device driver version is installed. If it is not v3.2.0.0 (it
won't be unless you already downgraded it) it most likely is not
compatible with this chip. You will have to downgrade the device
driver to this version v3.2.0.0.
