[ICOM] Computer Can't Talk to Radio

[Mike]

The settings in Device Manager may or may not match those set in the 
program. The program settings will, I believe, override the system settings.
Is the cable really plugged into COM1?
Do you have any other devices you can try on COM1 to make sure the com 
port is OK?
Is COM1 a real serial port or a USB port with an adapter? If it's a USB 
port, maybe the drivers are bad.
Have you got a friend with an ICOM rig you could test your CI-V on?

Just a few dots in the shark.......

EVERYTHING appears to be in order yet radio continues to time-out when I try to grab a spot.  I can't get it to work with other programs (Writelog or N1MM).  Yes, I have checked to make sure the CI-V is plugged into the correct radio jack.
