I assume this is the Baofeng Tech FTDI cable. My tests here shows that
on a system that does not have an FTDI driver installed, it can take
up to 8 minutes for the driver auto installed by Windows to be fully
installed. If you try to use the programming cable prior to this time,
the cloning attempt will fail.

If you downloaded a driver to use instead of the Windows supplied
driver, you did get it from ftdichip.com? I've known some that
mistakenly downloaded and installed the Prolific driver which does
nothing for programming cable with and FTDI chip.
