What com port is the tower attached to? By default, NQC assumes com
port 1. If you use a different port, you'll need to specify it either
with a -S option or by setting the RCX_PORT environment variable. For
example, if you are using COM 2, you could so this to download foo.nqc:
nqc -SCOM2 -d foo.nqc
Try using NQC from the command line. Does it print any error messages?
If it says it can't find nqc, then its a path issue...make sure the
directory that contains nqc.exe is in your PATH variable. If it says it
can't open the serial port, make sure you specified the port correctly
and that no other programs are using the port. If it says it cannot see
the IR tower and/or the RCX, then try again adding the -v option which
will print out some verbose debugging information, then post that
information so I can take a look at it.

| Cycling through all of the Com ports with the nqc command (nqc -SCOM1,2,4 -d test.nqc) gives the message 'Could not open serial port' for each port tried. nqc -SCOM3 -d test.nqc gives the error 'no replay from RCX'. With the -v option, Com Ports 1,2 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
