I've just bought RIS 1.5 (2.0 ain't out in Australia yet, boo boo!) and am
running Win2k. Everything seemed sweet, until I went to download the
firmware to the RCX.
The errors I get vary from the Tower not working, the RCX not working or the
Firmware starts downloading, then fails... So before I go and reformat my
machine and install Win98 (again) I just want to make sure that this -is- a
Win2k problem, not anything to do with my kit.
All new batteries, and no apparent communication problems between the PC and
the Tower.
Cheers,

| The standard Lego software for 1.0 and 1.5 will not work on Win2k. The beta 2.0 software will, but it doesn't have the pretty GUI language (not that you may want it), it is just a script language.. Having said that, have you tried playing with the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics)
