    so you have tried the com ports in the loader then you have go into my computer and go to propeties and hardware and go to device manager and see what com port your adaptor and change it between 1 and 4 till you find the right one and do the same in the loader till it matches

    some areas are worse than others give them a ring and see if there is a problem in your area be prepared though for a 2 hour phone call
