Hi,
I had the same problem with an XP on a <3GHz >2GHz machine.
The single sane sollution I had was to use the serial IR Tower from
my Mindstorms 1.0. The bet I took was the IR protocol between the
IR Tower and the Brick didn't change. And it seems that it didn't.
It is slower (is a serial connection) and one has to have the previous
Mindstorms 1.0 version, but it is an option.
BTW: I'm a Linux guy and I'd prefer to work with it on my favorite platform.
Is there a place I can get tools to do it (compilers, drivers for the IR
interface
or whatever else is needed)?
Jean
