I had two laptops giving me that same error: "A critical error has occurred.
You may be running out of memory, or you may need to reinstall Robotics
Invention System 2.0." It must have been a recent Windows update that messed
them up, as these computers worked just a few weeks ago.
Here's what I did to get them working again:
1. Log onto your computer as Administrator, or an account with
Administrative privileges.
2. Browse to your RIS 2.0 install directory. I believe the default is
C:\Program Files\LEGO MINDSTORMS\RIS 2.0\
3 a. Right-Click LaunchRis2.exe.
3 b. Select the "Compatibility" tab.
3 c. Select "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 98/ME".
4 a. Browse to C:\Program Files.
4 b. Right-click the LEGO MINDSTORMS folder, go to the Security tab.
4 c. Click "add". Under "Enter the object names to select" type "Everyone"
and click "OK".
4 d. Under the "group or user name" list on the Security tab, select
"Everyone" and ensure that the "Full Control" box is checked under
"Permissions". Click OK.
5 a. Click Start -> Search -> All Files & Folders. Under "advanced option"
ensure that "Search all files and folders" is checked off.
5 b. Search for "2.0.mov.#res" and delete every instance of the file that
occurs.
Reboot. On one of my laptops a newer version of QuickTime was installed,
which was also prompting a QuickTime error. I uninstalled it, and installed
QuickTime 6.5.2 from http://oldversion.com/program.php?n=quicktime
Ensure RIS 2.0 runs under an administrator account, and under
non-administrator accounts. Please let me know if this works - it worked on
my two machines, but I can't guarantee it will work for everyone else.
