No matter what (Windows) OS, all you need to do is got to "Device Manager", select "Ports" (may only show if the cable is hooked up and active), then look at the Com port number that has been assigned. Now go the MSD program and select the same port number. No need to reboot...

I just wanted to lay it out incase someone else had not tryed this method when everything else fails.
