"Compatibility" tab and check "Run this program in compatibility mode =
for... Windows 98/Windows Me" and check "Run in 256 colors".  Click OK.  =
The installation leaves the "LEGO MINSTORMS(tm)" application open after =
install is completed.  Hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and end that task or restart the =
machine.

For RIS1.5, install the software.  After installation, edit the shortcut =
properties for the "Robotics Invention System" icon.  On the "Shortcut" =
tab, the "Start In" directory should say "C:\Program Files\LEGO =
MINDSTORMS" (not "C:\Program Files\LEGO MINDSTORMS\Probe.exe").
