What version of RcxCC and/or NQC are you using?  Old versions had
trouble with the larger firmware files (such as firm0328.lgo).  Grab the

http://members.aol.com/johnbinder/bricxcc.htm or alternatively you can
just replace the nqc.exe file with a more recent version from
http://www.enteract.com/~dbaum/nqc/index.html
