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 USB>Serial adapter to is open and free from conflicts?  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!

Hmm, I had a problem with using a certain program on my computer (which does 

have a serial port) and it was easily solved.  The program was to control 

Sony ES receivers via their RS-232 port but I kept getting some weird 

exception error and the program crashing before it even loaded up.



The solution was to get a file, mscomm32.ocx.  This file may or may not be 

on your system already, you can do a file search to look for it.



Then (this is assuming you put it in the C:\ root directory) open the run 

box on XP (Start---->Run; or Windows Key + R) and type in "regsvr32 

c:\mscomm32\mscomm32.ocx".



After I did that the program worked fine.  This may or may not work for you 

however, but it is worth a try I'd say.

This is my first post, but been lurking for a while   



I initially had the same problem when I tried to connect my IBM T40 (running XP Pro) to my 4000x using a USB to serial adaptor. I found the problem was that the USB adaptor was showing up as COM5 but the DSC software only looks at COM 1,2,3 & 4. 



If you go into the device manager you can force the USB adaptor onto one of the other spare COM ports. As soon as I told it that it was COM2, everything started to work fine.



Cheers,



Ian.

HI

Thanks for the replies... i tried changing the com number and starting it  in 

win98 compatibility mode and also bought a different brand of adapter  

(belkin) to make sure it wasn't that, and no luck so far. i'll try some other  stuff 

this weekend.

May sound like a dumb question, but are you sure you're using a null-modem serial cable?
