The com port likely changes every time you disconndect/reconnect the cable since it unloads/re-loads the driver. Might be com3, might be com2 or something else. Try this D2XX driver and the Detect option in the setup and see if it works. USB & WiFi Support

Thank you will give that a shot next time, have a new cable I posted the pic above just to eliminate that isn't the problem, maybe I kinked it one time, not sure.
