Communications problem.
You could be choosing the wrong COM port. On my Windows 10 computer, COM1 gets assigned to some unknown device so the programming cable is never COM1. If I choose COM1, I get the same error here. Check Device Manager to see which COM port number is assigned to your programming cable. If COM1 is there with no programming cable plugged in, then COM1 is not the programming cable. Plug the programming cable in, the new COM port number that appears is the programming cable.
No device driver is installed or an incompatible device driver is installed. If the programming cable is manufactured with a generic copy of a Prolific USB-to-Serial chip, the device driver that is automatically installed by Windows is unfortunately incompatible. In this case the older, but compatible, Prolific v3.2.0.0 device driver must be installed and selected. A link to the needed driver and instructions for installing and selecting it can be found here.

If the programming cable is manufactured with a WCH CH340/CH341 type USB-to-Serial chip, Windows most likely does not automatically install a compatible driver. In this case it is recommended that you download and install the latest driver from the chip vendor's website.
