make sure you have the drivers for the roadrunner setup for the virtual com port, not the native usb drivers. This is in the efi live software, Edit >Properties >Roadrunner Tab > select "virtual com port"

Also what the COM port number of the USB Serial Port is set to in the advanced settings in Device Manager. Then check the 'scan to' property in the Tune Tool preferences is set high enough to catch the COM port in use.
