Paul C,

I've been using NCU and XP + SP1 for sometime.

Are you using slowdown when you attempt to connect with NCU? I find that I
need to use that in order to connect.

Subject: [NTLK] Is anyone using Win XP and their Newton?

I am so close to having this work, I promise to minimize my taxation to the
group after this episode.

Is anyone successfully using NCU with Windows XP? It seems that on my
machine the two are butting heads. As much as I love the 20" iMac, my wife
would kill me if I showed up with one and then to find out I just wanted to
connect my MP... She doesn't even know that I have three MP's much less...

Thank-you in advance!

Regards,

Paul Curtis

OK, I have now figured out how to get the serial port on the XP laptop to
work with the USB to Serial adapter from Belkin, it takes some finagling,
but I've figure that part out.

I think I've narrowed the issue down to NCU and Windows XP not playing nice
together. Specifically, I have examined the error file after NCU's
predictable crashing, and it points to these files as files of conflict:
ntdll.dll, kernel132.dll, MPR.dll, ADVAPI32.dll, RPCRT4.dll, USER32.dll, and
so on for a total of 26 .dll's. I have the actual last 2 crashes in the text
doc from XP, if anyone knows what to do with it?

Now, I have uninstalled the NCU and re-installed several time, with no luck.
Anybody have any ideas?

Regards,

Paul Curtis

OK, I can reliably and repeatedly connect the Laptop w/XP to my MP 120 -
YEAH.

I can install packages, but what I can't do is Backup my MP to the Laptop.
What happens is that the process begins and I get plenty of traffic showing
on the Belkin for both TX & RX for about 3 seconds, but then the process
fails, the error from the MP says that there was a communication error (-1),
then NCU crashes as soon as I try to manipulate it and ties up the Comm
port. I have done this with and without Slowdown.exe and I have connected
with both Serial and Serial 9600 - Windows.
--------------------------
I used to have the same problems with my MP2100 & I froze all my packages
before backing up & select back up from the Newton & then you can select
robot yow want backed up like internal & card pkgs. etc.. I just backed up
my 8mb card with no issues! sent with a Newton Message Pad 2100
