Ouch, I understand quite well, actually*. But I agree with John, it sounds like
the NXT might be in firmware update mode. If you *haven't* already done it,
download the latest firmware (1.04), and a patch for the driver (1.02), from
LEGO's site:
http://mindstorms.lego.com/Support/Updates/
(I'm not sure if the the educational version needs the patch, but the commercial
version certainly does on rare occassions), and there are directions there for
updating the firmware as well.

Jennifer, Willow, Lucy, Rommie, & Eowyn.
