With a Windows computer and a Prolific chip based programming cable,
you must download, install and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0
device driver.

Also if the programming cable was working and then stopped, then...

- the device driver got upgraded to the latest (it would need to be
downgraded again
- the programming cable was plugged into a different USB port (this
would install the latest device driver -- which is not what you want,
and, assign a different com port number).
