I saw one of matts old posts about using port checker and when i do that it comes back "s". in port checker it calls it (comm3) but the device manager calls it (comm10). im lost

If device manager has it on Comm10, then you should be able to open the Mini-Term from the communications menu and open the port at:
Com10
Baud: 115200
Then type an upper case Q
see if you get a response.

Also, what OS are you on, if you have hyperterminal or some other terminal program, see what you get there.

In the title you say you can't connect with a usb cable, have you been able to connect with any other method or computer?

Any idea what kind of cable it is?
What do the drivers in Device Manager call it?

Also what cable are you using between the usb cable and the MS? Any null modem components?
