Marty,

I've used slowdown.exe, 2 running full brings the system to a halt, and
has no effect...

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.

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

patience...

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
