HT1250 CPS Programming Help

[unity2016]

I am new to programming Motorola products, and I have a HT1250 that I have been attempting to program for a while with no success. I bought the CPS software (version R06.12.09), and installed it on my computer. I am running Windows 10 on my computer, and have tried both with, and without compatibility mode as well as running as administrator. Whenever I try to read the portable, I get this error message;

"Couldn't open port. Check whether Device/RIB are powered on or not, and the Device to RIB, and the RIB to PC connection is OK"

I have tried two different aftermarket RIBless cables, and both have thrown me these error messages. Do I need to spend the money on a Motorola cable, or is it because of Windows 10? And if it is because of Windows 10, has anyone found a work around for this error.

Thanks.

Ok, thank you. I will try that, and let you know.
