Hi,

I would try this.

1. Using any other USB based device and test the USB port.
2. Scan the machine for viruses.

Looks like you driver is getting uninstalled by an application. ( This is my
own idea).

Hope this helps.

I have check under USB Lego Tower Diagnost and it reads:

The driver failed the AddDevice request (0x!F)

Hope this helps.

Thanks again,
Ruth

Hello Rob, thanks for your reply.

I have manually installed the new driver without any success. Even worst, now my
tower doesn't work with RIS 2.0 either!

Same thing, works for 20 seconds and then can not find the driver anymore.

Any other suggestions?

I am really looking forward to start playing with it and this problem is driving
me crazy.

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.


Hello Alex,

I have done as you suggested. I have a game pad and seems to work without
problems.

I know my computer does not have any virus because it is scanned every night by
our server.

Any other ideas?

I guess I will have to unistall everything (including windows) and start again.

Thnaks for your suggestions.
Ruth
