error "could not open serial port". The little green light never goes on in
the tower.

in NQC, but it just won't recognize the port. I am using Windows XP if that
makes any difference (sigh, it certainly has made a difference with the
stupid Vision Commander product from Lego that seems to not support XP and
Lego won't help).
Thanks in advance!
