MSP430G2102: CCStudio and LoadTI is not seeing BlackHawk XDS560 programmer

Part Number: MSP430G2102
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2101, CCSTUDIO, MSP-FET

hello,

I'm trying to connect a "BlackHawk XDS560v2-USB System Trace Emulator" to an MSP430G2101. 

I want to use LoadTI, but I get "SEVERE: MSP430: Error initializing emulator: No USB FET was found"

so I went into Code Composer Studio and got:

in CCstudio 4.2, I go into tools > Launch TI debugger and if I try to connect to the target, I get "Error connecting to the target: (error -183 @ 0x0) The controller has detected a cable break far-from itself. the user must connect the cable/pod to the target. the programmer shows up in the CCS debug window, but it does not connect for some reason. 

I'm not sure how to tell what the issue is. can anyone point me in the right direction to get it to work? 

I'm on windows 7, if that matters
