Please, PLEASE . It's been explained many, many times even in this very thread that the likely causes of that are:

1. Using an old driver for the cable, in which case case update it.
2. Forgetting to set the Latency setting to 1 rather than its default 16, in which case change it (if you don't have that setting, you're using the old driver).
3. Using a cable from a vendor other than the one recommended here, suggesting that either the cable is shoddy or you have Pin 8 still active (the Pin 8 debacle has been discussed several times as well).

I understand that this thread is very long and it's no longer practical to tell people to read all of it, but a major reason it's this long is because the same questions are asked repeatedly. Please do your part to reduce thread redundancy.
