Hi Gabriel.

a few thing I will recommend it should work.
before you do any thing disconnect your mouse cable and
connect it with com2 to see your port is fine is yes continue

1. do not reinstall with out deleting old mplab .
2. run diskscan first.
3. rum memmaker
4. install new mplab
5. in system folder unchecked FIFO
6. restart your pc
