Yes, go to control panel then device manager then com ports. Port 1 should say acpi. If it doesn't, update the driver to acpi. I prefer to do this manually (some laptops have a quick switch icon on the desktop that does that for you). You must restart your computer and i go back to device manager then ports to verify comm port 1 says acpi. Once it says acpi you should be able to connect your orange cable to the comm port and after a few seconds it should update. Click clc status and you should see a status of some kind.
