I have an Icom marine radio (I am certified for marine frequencies) and I'm trying to program 2M frequencies on the Land Mobile settings so I can talk on amateur radio and the marine band with the same radio when I'm on the water. That way I don't have to have two radios.
So I bought the software - CS-M88 - and I have the correct cable to connect the radio to the computer, which is OPC-966U.
Ever since I installed CS-M88 on my PC, I have gotten an error message from the program, which looks like this:

So because I downloaded the driver recommended here, Device Manager then looked like this:
This was a problem, since CS-M88 only has 4 COMs. One set of instructions said this would happen, because of PC devices being plugged in, and how a PC assigns addresses to devices. So I unplugged my Logitech camera. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the driver. Device Manager now looks like this:
Great news, eh? Now I can use COM 4 in CS-M88!
Nope.
I still get this from Device Manager:

Edit: I don't know if this matters, but here is the COM port properties:
