> is there any other solution to xp freezing other than adapting the pcif lead....i have the one which came with the x5dr and it worked fine with win98 ...i know other people have had this problem....any help would be much appreciated ..this is driving me mad This is the same situation I faced - setup worked fine with 98 but not XP. Eventually I got the soldering iron out and modified the cable as per the instrution manual, then everything worked fine. I think it is the only option - I suspect it has something to do with the XP serial port drivers. best regards, Andy http://www.freemastering.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent through the Korgy Park mailing list.
