Hi,

Just a few questions.

What type processor is it? (Pentium III or Pentium IV)
What OS?

The reason being is, there are some minor issues with Win98 and Pentium IV
processors, as well as having some major Hardware faults.

If you can get your hands on Windows XP or Windows 2000, try and perform the
same install and see if it works properly.


I have had various intermittent erros when installing a whole lot of software
and hardware on Pentium IVs.


This error probably has nothing to do with Lego and is most likely connected
to your Processor and Motherboard.

Regards
Q

Anyone heard of this?? Getting desparate!!

I have installed RIS2.0 on about 12 machines of various types
at the local school, and on my wife's IBM laptop: no problems.

I recently built a new machine. Fast (1.4G) AMD Athlon, 512M,
ASUS motherboard. I get ALMOST all the way thru installation
from the CD, and get the little window: "Installing USB software".
(This is BEFORE trying to plug in the tower, as instructed). As I
recall this takes seconds in a normal install. (LATER you are instructed
at startup to connect and install the USB tower, IF you can install!)
BUT: I get a window: "ERROR INSTALLING USB SOFTWARE   -5  "

I have talked to Lego Tech Support; they weren't familiar with this.
They suggested a couple of fixes from Microsoft for WIN98SE, and
latest drivers. Done that. No change.

USB works fine with my Olympus camera.  But I really want to develop
some RIS and NQC code for the classes I'm doing!!!

Any suggestions or similar problems ???

Thanks!
