It isn't CHIRP that's not working. It is your programming cable that
isn't working. Any programming software requires that the user
provides a complete and working connection between the radio and
computer.

I suggest that you utilize the Windows 7 "Device Manager" application
to help diagnose the problem. It could be as simple as selecting the
wrong COM port. The most likely cause is that the device driver that
was installed by Windows is not compatible with the USB-to-Serial chip
in the programming cable (of even no driver is installed at all).
