Hi Dale,
The usual problem is that most programming cable that have Prolific type chips in them are not compatible with the latest Windows drivers. The fix is to downgrade to the v3.2.0.0 driver.

I follow the instructions in cirp to download from radio and it just sets there and will not read the radio and eventually will get a no communications with the radio error msg. If I shut the radio off chirp then sends an error so it knows the radio is there. I did notice in the txt file that was with the drivers says the drivers are for a gps? Any suggestions to try would be appreciated. Thanks

As many have said, the prolific drivers can cause issues due to them being cloned.
I have had great success with these from Amazon. They just work.

They also don't change com port numbers when you move them from 1 usb port to another.
