You'll also get this message if another program has grabbed the serial port that you're using to communicate with the radio and won't release it.  For example, once I've run Nova (a satellite tracking program) and W6IHG Radio Tuner (which runs the TS-2000's VFO while tracking a satellite's doppler corrections) and exited out of WRT, I have to restart the computer to release the serial port so that DX4Win can talk with the TS2000.  Otherwise, when I try to perform a function that sets or reads the frequency in DX4Win, the program (DX4Win) hangs up for about 30 seconds and then reports that the radio has timed out.
