I have installed RIS 2.0 on my new laptop (3 weeks old). I have also
installed Bricxcc. I have not installed the Mindstorms SDK 2.0. I have 3
built in USB 2.0 ports (which also run 1.1 USB devices, duh)... Anyway,
when I start Mindstorms, I get to one point (where the program tells the USB
tower to find the RCX) and my computer locks up. Can't do ANYTHING. Same
problem happens with Bricxcc. It gets to the point where it tries to
communicate and locks my computer up. I have tried the USB tower in every
port with same results. I have unistalled and reinstalled RIS 2.0 three
times now to no avail... It reinstalls the USB drivers from the CD each
time. I went to the Lego website, but can only find the patch for keeping
Mindstorms from starting up automatically when you turn on your computer.
Thanks fo any help in this matter,
Tired and frustrated (Rob)
Long GATS weekend...

| (...) I would open the Lego tower control panel applet and see what it has to say about your tower. Also, I would try using NQC directly to see if it behaves any differently with respect to the USB tower. It sounds like a software problem with the (...) (21 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| Hello Rob, I couple of thoughts. I have a laptop that runs XP, 1.1 USB ports, RIS 2.0, and Robolab 2.53 and everything works fine. I do not use Bricxcc. I have a bigger desktop that runs XP, 2.0 USB ports, RIS 2.0 and Robolab 2.53 and everything is (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| Hi Rob, Did you try to apply the latest XP service pack (and/or made an extensive Windows update)? The first XP release didn't work very well on some USB2 host controllers... Philo (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| Rob, Sorry, no luck from the Robolab RCX list - the user there has been unable to overcome their USB tower problems. You wouldn't happen to be using a Toshiba would you? Their problem was only occuring on a Toshiba laptop - worked fine on other (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
