I have a couple of suggestions.

1. Try swapping the TXD and RXD wires. It can be confusing on some of
the pinouts that are available because it is not always clear if TXD
means "connect me to TXD" or "I am TXD so connect me to RXD on the
other end.

2. If you are using Windows and the cable you have contains a
counterfeit Prolific chip, download, install and select the older
v3.2.0.0 device driver. I know you said you cable works with "other
things", but if Device Manager shows the programming cable has a
Prolific chip, the older driver can only help.
