Radio Scanner question

[Zamble]

My wife bought me a Radio Shack 651 Pro for Christmas. I bout the synch cable and have bought a program to help to program it. My problem is, the drivers I downloaded installed and it still does not recognize the scanner. It see's something on the port, it just does not know what it is.

Any help told be appreciated.

Who did you purchase the cable from?
Are the drivers made by Prolific or FTDI?
Open up the device manage, does it indicate any port errors?
