When I went to my device manager it gave me a com3 comport. When I click on the read from radio, it gives me the information of comport 3. I then push monitor and push transmit 3 times. after a few seconds I get the error 5 notice. I have a Baofeng GT-3TP. What am I doing wrong?

Why do you "push monitor" and "push transmit"? The cloning process should occur without doing anything at the radio.
The most common problem is using a programming cable with a counterfeit Prolific chip with Windows. If the chip is Prolific (check Device Manager) and you are using Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10, you must download, install and select an older Prolific v3.2.0.0 device driver before you programming cable will work properly.
Check this page for a link to the driver and instructions for selecting it after it is installed. Only install this driver if Windows recognizes the chip in your cable as a Prolific type chip. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

Your problem stems from using Windows.
