My problem is that windows can only detect my USB tower for like 20
seconds.After that I get an error on the device manager (yellow (!) mark)
telling me that it can't find the driver. If I install it again, it will • work
for another 20 seconds and same story again.Very annoying!

May not be of much help, but the 2.5 SDK from the Lego website has an
updated USB IR tower driver.  You may try using it.  I think you may be able
to go to the Lego website and search for "SDK" to find the download link.
You will probably have to manually install the driver.  Go to your device
manager and go to the properties for the USB tower.  You can update driver
from there, and point to the new driver in the SDK folder for the USB tower
(should be somewhere like - c:\Lego Software\Mindstorms SDK 2.5\USB tower)
well...something like that...

Rob

Hope it helps.
