Gary,
So there is currently no communication between the radio and CHIRP. Assuming that you now have the correct device driver installed, I would double check that COM5 is actually the one assigned to the programming cable. My Windows 10 computer has a COM1 one available that most programming wants to connect to so I always have to move it to COM3 (or other depending on which programming cables I am using).
I would also check to make sure the radio end of the programming cable is properly connected to the radio. It is common for the 2-pin plug to stick when inserted and not be fully inserted. I had this issue with my first UV-82. It sticks solidly and I would have sworn that it was fully inserted. But close examination revealed that it was not so a quick wiggle and push of the plug got it to go the rest of the way. Some have to go as far as pressing on the plug during the cloning process to get the required connection.
