View properties under device manager to view your device and ensure that the comm port it is assigned to is not already being used by any other peripherals on your computer. Also ensure that the comm port chosen matches the one you are selecting with the Sony DSC program. Also, it wouldn't hurt to ensure that you are running under Windows 98 compatibility with the DSC executable. Lastly, close all programs running in the background. Best of luck! -------------- Original message -------------- From: "David" > --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: "David" > > debug it i was told by a computer nut after i fixxed my problem (i bought an > old win 98 laptop works great) but i was told in xp you can use debug to fix > the dll's > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > To: > Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 7:20 PM > Subject: XDP4000X-List: Sony DSC freezing up > > > > --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: DJholl98@aol.com > > > > Hi > > I have just bought a new laptop to setup my 4000x it doesn't have a serial > > port so i bought a usb adaptor. every time i try to start up sony's dsc it > > freezes up. 4kcontrol seems to work ok. has any one else had this > > problem? > > should i try a diferent usb adaptor? > > also i have a quite loud constant background hiss that seems to be coming > > from the 4000k any ideas what could be causing that? > > > > Thanks > > Dave > > > > > > Did you make sure that the comm port you assigned the USBSerial adapter to is open and free from conflicts?

However I'm not using a serial/USB converter, the X20 has a real serial port on it. If you are using the serial/USB converter this might be a source of the problem too. Bobbybrauns' advice below is a good first start. Just putting in the .02 that eliminates XP as the issue -----Original Message----- From: owner-xdp4000x-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-xdp4000x-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of bobbybraun@comcast.net Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 8:36 PM Subject: Re: XDP4000X-List: Sony DSC freezing up --> XDP4000X-List message posted by: bobbybraun@comcast.net Did you make sure that the comm port you assigned the USB>Serial adapter to is open and free from conflicts?
