Are you using a _real_ comm port or a USB-RS232 adapter?
I'd try the opposite of what you're using.
Also, I'd try running DSC in Windows SAFE mode and see if it has any impact on the issue. I can't say for sure that DSC will actually run in Safe mode, but its worth a try.
I would also try running DSC in Windows 95 Compatibility mode. You right click on the dsc.exe file and select properties and look for the compatibility tab.
A an aside, the 4000x uses different data transfer techniques for the EQ vs. the Xover. The EQ uses small little data data packets, whereas the Xover uses these huge packets that contain the whole XOver profile at once. Not that this has any thing specifically to do with the issue, but it is a significant difference between the EQ updates and Xover updates.
Best regards,

I needed to re-configure/re-align my system, so I hooked up my laptop to my XDP-4000x. It has been over 3 years since I had to do this. It initially worked fine - I just did a few quick tweaks to the X-Over with the DSC software. Then, I went back last week, and I was ready to fine tune my system with my RTA ready to go. Now, when I try to open the DSC "CNW" editor (for X-Over and Delays), I get some kind of "300" error on the laptop, and the DSC application closes out when I click "OK" on the pop-up box. I can not seem to access any of the XDP's CNW features via the Laptop. The XDP's CNW Preset Memory is still entact (or else I'd have a paperweight on my hands - arrrrgh!).
I can access the EQ just fine (adjusting and saving/uploading the EQ works perfectly via the DSC software)! What is going on??? I also tried another laptop, and I get the same error (only for CNW)? I also tried to completely power down the C90/XDP (Removed +12v for a few minutes), and I still experienced the same error on both laptops...
Could this be a Null-Modem Cable issue? I kind of doubt it as I doubt the CNW editor uses different Serial wires than the EQ editor uses, ya know? And the fact that this same thing happens on 2 Laptops is odd.
I'd hate to say it, but this might be the final straw for my dear C90/XDP-4000x. I am inches away from doing a Car-PC (Waiting for the new Panda CT650 LCD Monitor to come out this summer), but I'd really like to get my XDP's x-over and delays tweaked NOW for my new installation  . I also wanted to use the XDP4K in my other ride (4-Runner 4x4) once I get a Car-PC in this ride (Tacoma 4x4). That dream may soon be put to rest...
Thanks for any help from a stuck XDP user.
PS - I was also the guy having iPod issues with my C90/XDP. I junked the crappy PAC "Aux-In Unilink Adaptor" that was locking up my system in favor of a Sony XA-300. I still get some weird issues with the motorized face changing angles on its own, but I no longer have the "Freezing" issue on power-up (thank GOD!!! That was very annoying).
