    Please help (XP,RIS 2.0 problem) —Rob Hendrix
   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.

        RE: Please help (XP,RIS 2.0 problem) - some thoughts —Bill Blackmer
     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.
