when i try to connect i get this error, i checked the port and there is no conflict with any other program or irq, please help.
thanks.

 

connecting directly to your serial port or are you using a serial to usb adaptor?

 

I had my palm hot sink on and that did the same thing.

 

Try a different COM setting yet? Got the same error using a serial to usb adaptor on a friends laptop; ended up working with COM 4 if I remember correctly.

 

That is a port config error. Go into your settings and set back to default.

My Computer (properties), hardware, device manager, open the com port, device settings, restore default.

This should get you straight. If not you have issues with the buss that you are using and might need to uninstall the port and let plug and play re-detect it.

 

thanks for the replies, i am going to try all the suggestions and see what happens, thanks again.

 

I just ordered an Xede....it appears that my laptop doesn't have a regular serial port on it..just USB adaptors. Does everyone have this problem when they use a USB to Serial port adaptor?

 

Many have been sucessful with USB adaptors. Just make sure to get a quality adapter.

 

Get it resolved yet?

 

I have the Iconcepts one made by Sakar. I got it from compusa and it was the cheapest of the USB adapters. Many have had luck with this one. The Belkin basically never works.

 

nope tried all of the above, i even got a serial to usb adapter, same thing. i tried the com4 and did not get the error but then did not connect either, so i dont know what else to do?

 

right on...i'll just pick that kind up then..i have a comp USA right over here

 

I had the same problem initially with the serial to usb connector. I would have it plugged in the COM4 port and when I would manually change the port in the Xede to COM4, it would revert back to COM1. So went into device manager and changed COM4 to COM1 and it worked.

 

i am going to try that right now, thanks.

 

Lemme know how it works out.
